Be intentional with your life and with your relationship.

The first week of November is done and we’re on the quick but slow walk towards the end of the year
(is it just me or has this year felt really long yet we’ve gone through it quickly??)

Honestly, this year has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me.

A year of shedding and learning to take care of myself as the new skin was revealed.

Forgiving myself for past mistakes and letting go of the things that no longer served me.

There was grief as I shed the old that had held me for 50 years to make space for the new.

Transitions are never easy or linear.
I’ve had to step outside my comfort zone and lean into the uncomfortability, which historically I wasn’t good at.

This year one of my intentions was to practise this, as guided by (my fab mentor, pls do check her out) and to make the process easeful and learn about this new version of myself.

Dedication, my word for 2024 has been and will continue to be applied.

I put into practice all my self care tools to take care of myself as a priority.
There’s been lots of rest and recharging through meditation, breathwork, nature walks, yoga, reflection all with the intention to create the space to integrate.

So, I’ve made it all sound really pretty like I’m in control, but there have been many tears shed, moments of honest convos with myself and others.

Times I’ve felt like a failure or that I wasn’t worthy.

I’m not in control, I’ve had to surrender to the process.
The breakdown before the breakthrough.

The choice has been to move forward, be kind and have compassion for myself. Do the things I know to do, that my intuition is guiding me towards.
The advice I’d give to someone if they came and shared this experience with me.

So,
How will you take care of yourself this weekend?
Where can you show more compassion with yourself?

Much love

||CONNECTION|| What’s important to connect with on your wedding day?

Close your eyes…

Step into your wedding day and let your senses guide you.
// What can you see?
// Who’s with you?
// How do you feel?

Which people, places, cultures and heritage will you weave into your day?

Your wedding is the fullest expression of connection, bringing your people together and celebrating the union of two souls.

Connecting with what’s important to you creates meaning, memories and feels significant.

How do you want to feel?
What’s important for you to connect with?

This mini guide will set your foundation and help you embrace this season with ease, joy and confidence, making decisions that are aligned with what you desire.⁠

Last year I decided to make a pivot in my business because it no longer felt aligned with who I was becoming and the transition that I could feel happening.

When I decided to switch it up from the traditional wedding planner format to wedding coaching, blending wedding planning, relationship wellness and well-being I didn’t know what to expect.

I just knew that with Intentionally Wed I wanted to help couples understand how to create an intentional, holistic and sustainable experience that aligns with their individuality, relationship, lifestyle and values.
Creating a meaningful wedding day, an easeful and joyful engagement season that has a lasting effect beyond the wedding day.

Family, friends and society can create a lot of noise about your wedding, that you lose the connection with self and not have the space to hear your own voice and what you really want.

So, practices that help you to look within can help balance this. Connecting with your inner self will help you stay true to your vision, so that you don’t feel overwhelmed by decisions. I offer a unique approach that has the right balance of structure, ease and flow allowing you to ground your decisions in meaning and intuition. You can expect oracle card readings, meditations, journal prompts, crystals and movement guiding you to find the balance that you need.

I hold space for you and your vision whilst holding your hand as you travel through the adventure of your engagement season.

All this to say, I’ve had some highs and lows as I’ve pivoted and I am grateful for the learnings, the people I’ve connected with and the celebrations, big and small.

Much Love

I turned 50 on Saturday. 🥳

Up until about two months ago I thought I wanted to have a big celebration, but as the time drew closer and people were asking “how you celebrating?” A big do didn’t feel aligned.

So I asked myself what do you really want to do Edna? Answer; to wake up by the sea. I wanted to nurture my mind, body and spirit.

My bliss place is by the sea. Maybe it’s me having lots of water signs in my natal chart, but wherever I go I seek out some body of water.

It felt weird initially because this was the first time that I’d be taking myself away solo for my Earthday. It felt like I was letting the fam and friends down who wanted to celebrate with me.
I had a chat with myself and said “listen big woman tings, do you.” So, I booked myself a little airbnb. No one was upset.

Ain’t that always the way. It’s the story we tell ourselves that the “sh*ts gonna hit the fan” and it doesn’t.

Anyhoo, I woke up on my Earthday and enjoyed my own company.
I explored and discovered not only an area I’ve never been to, I also found out more about what I want for the next 50+ years to feel like.

I am so grateful and appreciative for the journey that I’ve been on these last 50 years that have brought me to this point.
The people, places and situations that have supported that journey whether I actively went for it or Spirit said “here you go”.

As I step into my new era, I embrace the deep dive into more. More remembering who I am, deeper connection with my spiritual journey, more self awareness, self acceptance, growth and wisdom so that I can be the best version of myself and elder for the next generation.

Lean into more of what nourishes you this week. Have a fab one!
Much Love, Edna x

We’re in a new month, July, my birthday month!
And today’s a new moon, so I’m a reflecting too. Reflecting on the last 6 months and also what I want for my new year.

One of my intentions this year is to be more intentional with doing things that bring me joy. Big and little things.

What I know is, it’s the simple pleasures I enjoy the most like:
* Taking time to make myself a lovely breakfast 
* My first sip of tea 
* Spending time with my granddaughter 
* Connecting with a body of water; river, sea, lake 
* Giving myself at least 15 mins per day to move my body 
* I really love the juicy-ness of cantaloupe melon. 

Putting our happiness first is one of the best things we can do for our spirit.

Have you taken time out this week to bring yourself some joy?

Have a fab weekend!

What would you want to talk about?

When it begins to feel like it’s all a bit too much carving out dedicated time and space to delve into a pressing matter can provide a much-needed grounding experience.

I understand the importance of being able to talk through something with someone who gets it and isn’t judging. A neutral sounding board for your thoughts, ideas, feelings and goals.

These 2 hour 1:1 sessions are a deep dive and you’ll leave with a plan or what you can do to move to the next step for you, whatever that next step gets to be.
They’re intended to be super focused on one core thing that’s been bubbling for a while.

We will move you forward and you’ll feel grounded.

I’ve opened up some slots for the next three months - if you’d like a one off deep dive with your situation and with email support after. DM me Pit Stop and I’ll send you the link.

Let’s get you sorted.

What are the core values you and your partner are creating for your life together and for your wedding day?

Yeah, you can set core values for your wedding day.

The most memorable wedding days are the ones created based on what’s important to you, the couple.

Part of my role is to help you get to those important matters- your values.
My style is through conversation and connecting with you. Listening to what you have to say and working through thoughtful questions that help you to deep dive.

These values will guide you in your decisions and help you live with intention and connect with yourselves and each other.

If you want some support with figuring out your values together, so that you’re able to have an easeful and joyful engagement season. You can download my free guide. Comment ‘Ease’ and I’ll send you the link.

Over the weekend my daughter was working on a project. I could see on her face that she was overthinking what she was doing. She was asking our opinions on what she was writing and as the time went she became increasingly frustrated because she couldn’t figure it out.

As a person who used to overthink A LOT! I get it.

I suggested to her to take a break and come back to it in a little while.
She said, “ That ain’t gonna help.”
I left her because it was a suggestion AND she’ll move when she’s ready to or not.

When there’s a problem to solve, a decision or choice to make.
We go to the logical, we may outsource by getting others opinions which then leads to more overthinking. Sometimes thinking isn’t what’s needed.

We really do know how to make hard work out of a thing!

I’ve found over the years that taking a step back. Trying not to think harder to figure it all out and actually letting go, going into the body and feeling into it can be the key.

Taking a moment to get quiet, let the energy dissipate and the answer will come to you. Probably when you pop to the bathroom to go for a wee. 😂

The next time you’re overthinking, give it a go.

If you can relate and feel that having a convo about your on your wedding planning journey with someone who gets it, drop me a DM/voicenote and let's chat about how I can support you.

Much Love

I’m an optimistic person, maybe because I'm quite a good problem solver and I know that most challenges have a solution and is an opportunity to learn and grow.

When I have those moments that can be challenging and make you say “What the Fxxk” I allow myself a max of 48 hours. Why? Because I can go into overthinking. So, I have to put a time limit on it, and change up my vibe.
I also understand the importance of sitting with what you’re feeling, reflecting and letting it pass through you.

My belief is that things that don’t work out as planned are because we’re being protected from something that may not be for us or isn’t ready for us. There’s a better opportunity coming for us. Yep, at the time we may not be able to see it.

But have a think… has there been a time in your life when the thing you wanted to happen, didn’t and then what did come was far better than you could’ve imagined?

This is why wasting too much energy on lamenting and beating yourself up doesn’t serve you. You’ll only be giving energy to the problem.

Redirect your focus to the outcome that you want and trust that it’ll all work out.

If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated or overthinking a problem. Drop me a DM and we can chat about my new offering to be released soon that’ll help you get out of the cycle of worry and into a place of resolution; feeling calmer and clearer.

Much Love

A few years ago I found the gift of prioritising my self care. It was a game changer for me in order to have the easeful, peaceful, healthy and joy-filled life I desire.

The change was mostly in the way that I thought and then choosing to act on those thoughts little by little. Building the belief that I deserved more professionally and personally.

Your engagement is a good time to start a practice of prioritising your pleasure.
What rituals do you have in your life that help you feel content and grounded?
What’s one thing you’d love to do for yourself as a treat everyday this week?

Could you…

Take yourself out to your fave coffee shop and enjoy a great cup of coffee.
Have a bubble bath every night as your night time ritual.
Read a chapter of that book that’s been sitting on your shelf waiting to be picked up.
Have that piece of fruit everyday, because it makes you feel like you’re nourishing yourself.
Get to bed 10 mins earlier than you normally do.
Meditate/sit in silence for 5/10 mins
Go for a walk around the block after dinner
Bake some muffins

We’re in Ta**us season and a part of the energy of this season is loving yourself, feeling good and taking your time. You’ll be fully supported at this time to create new habits.

When we’re not used to making our pleasure a priority it can feel ‘wrong’ at first. So the more you do it, the more you tell your mind that you are deserving of it until it feels natural. .

By prioritising your pleasure and doing things that make you feel good, in the process you also figure out what brings you a deeper sense of satisfaction that’s beyond the material.

Give it a go and pls do come back and let me know how you feel at the end of the period.

You deserve it!

If you’re looking for a bit more support in this area, drop me a DM and we can have a chat about how I can support you.

Much Love

Last week we celebrated my son’s 30th!
That Saturn return be returning! IYKYK 😬

He’s my first born and I am so grateful he chose me to be his Mama. The lessons that he has taught me… many.

The one that got me and made me check myself, was when he was about 8/9 yrs old and he said “ mum, why are you so strict with me? give me a break”

My childhood felt limiting at times and I wanted to break that cycle, so him checking me was my moment to pause and be intentional about learning how to parent differently, than what I knew, what I’d seen demonstrated to me.

All that to say that his presence in my life brings me immense joy, and I am grateful for the person he is.
His unique personality, loving nature, and infectious spirit make my life so much richer. Love you. 💕😘

You’re craving clarity and purpose. You’re feeling like you “should be on this”.
The information overload from varying places and people isn’t helping you to get clear.

Together we will clarify what you want, giving you a motivational kick start and support as you progress through the process.

We will minimise the emotional energy you’ll use getting to the wedding day through mindful practices to keep you grounded, dealing with any personal issues or decisions that may be causing you stress, so you enjoy the process of planning your wedding.

Simply put, through intentionality I help you navigate this short and transitional season in your life with mindfulness, confidence, ease, joy and connection.

If you’re planning your wedding yourself or with a planner and feel you want more support to work on the details of your vision and how you travel through your wedding planning journey. I’d love to be a part of creating your day!

Drop me a DM and let’s have a chat about how I can support you.

Much Love,

You deserve to enjoy and have fun on this journey, not “just get through it”!

Together we’ll deep dive into the details of your engagement season and how you want the whole experience to feel from start to finish.

Much Love
Edna xx

When we are intentional about the vision and how we want to approach anything we can work towards the desired feeling which generally is ease, enjoyment and connection.

This doesn’t mean that there won’t be challenges, but what it can mean is that when they show up, clarity on the vision and the desired feeling will enable discernment towards what works or doesn’t work. The need to gather opinions from others minimises and when we choose to listen, we can filter through the information.

You get to spend time focusing on the people and things that matter the most to you.

This is what I desire for you.

Through intentionality you set the foundation that will guide, support and hold you during this short but intense season of your chapter and beyond, so that you feel present to this experience, flow with ease and enjoy this time.

If you want a taste of what I do grab my free guide in the link above or you can DM me.
It’ll guide you to begin to create your foundation for this season in your life and embrace it with ease, joy and confidence. Making decisions that are aligned with what you desire.

Enjoy the Journey

Yes, you wanna enjoy the process, but…
you’ve heard the stories or witnessed the stress from decision making, tears over a lack of money, struggling to work through relationships with friends and family and all the gamut of feelings that come with this process of planning your wedding.

In order to enjoy the process, you need to set yourself up from the beginning and get intentional with your thoughts and behaviours so that you can enjoy it.

In my guide I help you through the process of identifying what you want and how you want to feel before you start the planning or as a reset.

It’s based around the holistic framework that I use with all my clients to approach your wedding and engagement season.

Visioning - Set the foundation for the engagement season and wedding planning journey aligned with your values and lifestyles.
Relationship Wellness - The heartbeat and health of your relationship
Well-being - Centering your self care for you, your sanity and health, so that you can enjoy this season.

When you implement the guidance within this guide you’ll set your foundation and embrace this season with ease, joy and confidence, making decisions that are aligned with what you desire.

Link is in my bio or you can DM me for it.
Enjoy!

People Pleasing & Wedding Planning We’re socially conditioned to care what others think and make decisions based on what others say. Wedding planning can/will bring up people - pleasing because you are both the guest of honour and the host. How do you please yourself and everyone at the same time? This is where people pleasing and planning can become difficult. I’ll be going live in a few days to help you tap into how you want to feel during your engagement which is the second step to helping you navigate people pleasing. The first step I talk about in my video 👆🏿 Keep your eyes peeled for the invite to the live.

Set yourself up for important convos. In my previous life as a learning, training and development manager, one thing that I practiced before any training session, speaking event or discussions was to ground and calm myself through breathing exercises. This helps to release any anxieties you may be feeling and get calm. Hope you find this helpful lovelies. Enjoy the weekend. Much Love, Edna x #squarebreathing #getcalm #importantconvos #weddingcoach #intentionalconvos

Just Enjoy Being Engaged! Congrats if you’re newly engaged. Enjoy this time together. You’ll know when to start planning, you’ll feel it. The planning will be there in a month, six months or a year. There’s no timer for getting started once you’re engaged. Chill! Much Love Edna x #engagementjoy #norush #easefulweddingplanning #newlyengagedandchilled #holisticwedding #intentionalengagement

Are your thoughts cloudy, unclear? Where are you feeling the discomfort in your body right now? What are you procrastinating over? What’s niggling at you? What are you annoyed or frustrated about? What’s stopping you from moving forward? When it all gets a bit too much and your mind is cloudy being able to talk through your thoughts with someone to find that clarity is helpful. Sometimes you just want someone to tell you what to do, what’s the next step. Sometimes you just need a nudge in the right direction. A neutral sounding board for your thoughts, ideas, feelings and goals. Because sometimes we just need someone from outside to support, guide, direct and give a gentle push in the right direction. I understand the importance of being able to talk through something with someone who gets it and isn’t judging. This is why I work with coaches, mentors etc too. If you don’t have someone there to support you, hold you, listen to and hear you, to see you then your journey during your engagement season can be stressful and a less enjoyable one. I offer coaching support via my Pit Stop sessions. These 2 hour 1:1 sessions are a deep dive, intended to be super focused on one core thing that’s been bubbling for a while. You’ll leave with a plan for what you can do to move forward, feel grounded and with email support after too. I’ve opened up some slots for the next three months. Your investment is £222 or two payments of £111. DM me Pit Stop and I’ll send you the link. If you’ve got questions DM me or leave a voice note, I’d love to chat. What would you want to talk about?

Leos like to stand out and have a taste for luxury and you radiate warmth and creativity. As a Leo anything you set your mind to you are capable of achieving. Which bodes well for your wedding planning journey. You have a strong work ethic and are determined to have what you want but be mindful that this doesn’t turn into bossiness. You have a desire for the finer things in life and your wedding will be no exception. Managing your budget will be key through this process, if this is not your area of strength then having someone who can keep you accountable is required. Your warm heartedness and self confidence is attractive, allowing you to bring people together and guiding them towards a common goal. You can have moments where you’re focused on what you desire that you can forget, not intentionally, the needs of others. You love the attention Leo, remember this is about the two of you! When things become overwhelming, don’t push. Find a place where you can retreat to solo and gather yourself. Set a time frame 24/48 hours maybe. Are you a Leo planning your wedding? Does this resonate? Let me know in the comments #leozodiac #leoseason #astrologyandweddings

Cancers can be emotional, are intuitive and real homebodies. They love to nurture and care for people and family is at the heart of a Cancer’s wedding. Each sign of the zodiac has different personality traits, talents, strengths and a shadow side. These traits create a different approach to wedding planning, the theme and style you may choose for your wedding. Cancer is my sun sign! We can be sentimental so an intimate, relaxed and joyful vibe with meaningful touches is what a Cancer wedding feels like. Cancer rules home and family. Having family involved in the process is important to you. Getting clear on what you want before you start planning is important for a few reasons. You can be easily swayed by familial influences, guidance from others experiences and you may have many meaningful things you want to include and ways to spoil your guests on your day. Having the space and time to whittle down what is most important is needed. Once you’re clear, it’s not easy to move you. As a cardinal sign you are particularly good at starting, but your motivation can wane as time goes. Having someone who can keep you accountable will be worthwhile. An easeful process is important for you. Having structure and clear next steps will help with this. You’re a natural born leader and know how to get the best out of people, utilising this skill will support you in delegating tasks. When making decisions, tap into your highly intuitive self. This means listening to and trusting your gut instincts. Your first instinct is normally the right one. During this process you could be sensitive, so a good self care practice will help you manage any stressful moments. Are you a Cancerian planning your wedding? Does this resonate?
