When I first heard the information about Iron Brides there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to be on that show! It was perfect for me… I was determined (this was the reason I had to wait so long to get engaged). However I’ll admit going into it I wasn’t quite sure what to think, millions of questions raced through my mind and now even to this day (because the wonderful directors and producers keep us waiting in utter suspense) we still don’t always know whats going to happen, when, who, where, or how!
One thing I am certain of is that Iron Brides has created a new chapter in my life, it has educated me on several aspects of planning my wedding, but above all they have introduced many things to my life and taught me lessons that will only help to better me as a person, as an adult, as a wife, a teacher, a mother, a friend!
I think the true mission behind Iron Brides is to teach us and guide us to write our stories in the direction that “we” want them to go in. To always think in a positive state! While at this point it hasn’t changed me entirely as a person there has certainly been life lessons that I have already gained from this experience.
The complaint free world challenge has been great for Sean and I, I think before I speak more, and try to approach every conversation differently so I don’t come across as nagging! Of course we are not even close to the 21 day mark, the effort alone creates a happier relationship, more smiles, less arguing, and team work!
Working with a life coach allows me to express my ideas regardless of how crazy they are and be reassured they can happen. It has put many things into perspective in particular about time…. this is my time and if I don’t remind myself of that every now and again it will slip away. I have been confronted with my insecurities, my flaws, my accomplishments, my reality and been forced to take a close look.
Many of negative thoughts have been replaced by thoughts of success and happiness, you are the only one who can open the door to your future. I have been fortunate that at this time in my life this opportunity arose. I think after this is all said and done I will continue to view things a bit differently. I began a new chapter in my life and fortunately its not even close to be over…
