She Knew on Her Wedding Day She Shouldn't Get Married

Emily Kuch spent almost ten years with her fiancé. They were building a house together in California, planning a destination wedding in Hawaii, and doing everything a couple is supposed to do before they get married. And then the morning of her wedding, with her hair and makeup done and 150 guests getting ready to show up, she called the whole thing off.In this conversation, Emily walks through what led to that moment, what it felt like to sit in that hotel room knowing she just blew up the plan, and how she got off the island with her dog and two suitcases and started completely over. She talks about not knowing who she was after a decade with someone, the pressure to just go through with it, and why traditional talk therapy didn't work for her in the aftermath. She ended up on an all-women's retreat in Bali instead, and it changed everything.We also get into something I think a lot of women relate to: how the patterns from an unhealthy relationship don't just disappear when the relationship ends. Emily noticed herself people-pleasing at work, dating men who didn't meet her standards, and swinging to hyper-independence when what she actually wanted was softness and reciprocity. Rebuilding your identity after a long-term relationship isn't just about getting over the person. It's about figuring out which parts of you were actually yours.Get in touch with Emily on TikTok & Instagram🍒 Interested in working with me? Let’s chat.🌱 Tired of performing fine?
