254- Bridechilla Body Image- Your response

by Aleisha
written by Aleisha

I am so happy and PROUD that the Bridechilla community came out on droves to to share your feedback, stories and personal responses to my recent body image episode (ep 248), so in saying that, today’s Bridechilla Podcast is all about you!

I received an enormous amount of emails and voice messages from you all, from all over the world, which made me smile, shrug, laugh and want to come and hug every one of you for your honesty, compassion and strength. Body image issues and perception is an ongoing conversation that we should be talking about way more often in the press. As I am reminded in this episode, it’s not just an issue that effects women and it is certainly not an issue that ends with your wedding.
A big thank you to everyone who is featured on the show today and a shout out to trainer Arthur Kiyaga who shared his perspective from a fitness professional and gentleman’s point of view.

BEST OF – Overcoming Wedding Stress with Dr Lindsay Bira

by Aleisha
written by Aleisha

The Bridechilla Podcast isn't just about the aesthetics of wedding planning, like decorations and dresses, many episodes cover the stuff the wedding magazines sometimes ignore. 
One of the collective themes that unites the Bridechilla Community is the sometimes odd realization that wedding planning can very quickly shift from being fun to overwhelming. 
Juggling 'normal life', relationships, work and other priorities as well as all of the pieces that go into planning a wedding isn't something that a lot of us are trained in...I certainly hadn't planned a big event before (or paid for one!).

Everyone gets stressed, it's how you deal with stress is the kicker

Being stressed doesn’t mean you aren’t happy, or not coping…everyone manages (and recognises) stress in different ways, so in this best of episode of the Bridechilla Podcast, clinical health psychologist Dr Lindsay Bira gives us some very practical ways to alter our communication to help calm negativity and get our point across without losing it.
We also talk about how to be more mindful and be more aware of your stress triggers and how to settle the anxiety and communicate with friends and family more productively.
