Escaping the Wedding Comparison Trap

This week, Ashley and Chris dive into their (least) favorite monster, the Comparison Trap. The Comparison Trap plagues us all throughout our lives, and comparison was intended, at the most basic level, to be a tool for us to continuously push ourselves to be better. However, in the age of social media, this took on a new form and became a mental health disaster. Throw in wedding planning into the mix and the beast takes over. In this episode, explore The Bridal Breakdown's signature method to handling The Comparison Trap, why you should consider a gratitude practice, how to find inspiration to avoid comparing and using social media in a less mentally-destructive way.
