Hey Bride Podcast
Hey Bride. 👋Wedding planning got you feeling a little like... wtf have I gotten myself into? Well, surprise! You’re not alone and you’re definitely not doing it wrong. People are weird and wedding planning is A LOT.
So, deep breaths. Welcome to a podcast where brides come to feel seen, centered, and way less pressured. Each episode is a real conversation for when wedding planning feels overwhelming, weird, or nothing like you pictured.
I’m your host Amy Cloonan. A life coach for brides and your official Wedding Wing-Woman - here to help you stress less, stay true to yourself, and actually enjoy this.
By tuning in you'll find:
💬 Real talk about the hard stuff (family drama, decision fatigue, second-guessing yourself — yep, you’re normal).
đź’¬ Tough love and perspective (because sometimes you need a little fire and a little grace).
đź’¬ Practical tools to make the journey lighter, easier, and way more you.
💬 Stories and strategies to remind you: you’re not just planning a day — you’re stepping into your next chapter.
If you’re ready to own your vision and make this experience yours, you’re in the right place.
So grab your coffee, water, or cocktail, tune in, and let’s walk this journey together.
(And if you ever want more support, you can find me at alifecoachforbrides.com.)
