Comparison: The Uninvited Wedding Guest

Comparison: The Uninvited Wedding Guest

Find yourself putting more weight into the small things than you maybe should be? Or feeling like you’re just somehow not enough? Comparison can be a sneaky b*tch, and that’s why we’re talking about overcoming the OG thief of joy, at your wedding and into marriage.

"How Do You Do It All?"

"How Do You Do It All?"

Between balancing marriage, a business, friendships, volunteer work, managing clients, employees, social media accounts, calls, emails, family, mentorship, bible studies, finances and not to mention just trying to keep our house decently clean and cooking meals so we don’t eat at Taco Bell all the time, life can get pretty busy very quickly.

Confidence v. Apperances

When I was 10 a girl in my class told me that I should eat more salads so I could lose weight and look like her. I remember as a kid in swim team the boys laughing when I would walk past in my swimsuit because my thighs jiggled.

My brain believes this crazy idea that if I don’t go to bed exhausted, then I didn’t do enough to allow me to rest fully.

What One Year of Marriage Looks Like

It’s amazing to think this was only 365 days ago. While Jacob and I have been together for over four years now, I have learned far more in our first year of marriage than I did in three years of dating him. Everyone told us we would grow more than we thought we would during this first year, but as naive as we were, we didn’t think much about it until reflecting back on the year.
