I called off my wedding 10 weeks before “I do.”

I called off my wedding a few months before I was supposed to walk down the aisle.
The dress was hanging in my closet.
The invitations had been sent.
The bridesmaids were secured. The venue was booked.
From the outside, it looked perfect. He was a great guy. I was a nice gal. We took beach vacations. We had lovely friends.
It probably would’ve been easier if he had been an ass. But he wasn’t. He was kind. And that almost made it harder.
But deep down, I knew we weren’t meant to be together.
There were signs—like the way I would sigh when people asked about the wedding or the rash I broke out in at Bed Bath & Beyond while registering for china.
✨ There were a million little reasons to stay… but one big, glaring reason to leave.
Ten weeks before “I do,” I called off the wedding.
I broke his heart—and his mother’s.
Friends took sides.
My own mother cried.
I tell you this because I know how hard it is to walk away from something that doesn’t feel right—especially when there's no obvious reason why.
We get so lost in what other people want for us and exactly what we’ll be digging into inside Become Her Minimind—the quiet, messy, deeply human work of looking at what’s actually yours… and what you’ve been carrying simply because it was handed to you.
We’ll look at the places where you’ve been holding on out of habit, loyalty, or guilt—and we’ll start letting go of the things that are quietly draining you, the things that aren’t working but you’ve been convincing yourself to keep.
I’m not going to tell you that five days will change your entire life. But I will tell you this: by the end of our time together, you’ll feel the shift of peeling back those layers. You’ll start to see what feels alive and true—and you’ll have the clarity and courage to begin releasing what was never meant to come with you.
I’m not asking you to call off your wedding or quit your job. But I am offering you a space to investigate how you want to keep living your life… and the support to start walking that path.
