Step Into Your Spotlight: Confidence Coaching Tips for Your Big Day

Your wedding day is one of the most significant moments of your life—a day filled with love, celebration, and memories to cherish forever.

Lisa has created a series of quick, actionable tips to help you feel calm, confident, and in control on your big day. Let’s dive into her expert advice.

1. You Don’t Have to Fake It to Make It

True calm comes from embracing your authentic self, not performing a version of you. The key is to feel safe being seen as you.
Quick Tip: Before walking into a room or onto a stage, exhale deeply and gently squeeze your thumb and middle finger together. This quiet anchoring gesture signals calm to your nervous system, helping you feel grounded.

2. It’s Not Just Stage Fright – It’s Personal

Public speaking or being in the spotlight can trigger deeper fears of rejection or not being enough. It’s important to acknowledge these feelings rather than suppress them.
Quick Tip: Instead of telling yourself, “Don’t be nervous,” try saying, “It’s OK to feel this.” Acceptance reduces the pressure and allows you to move forward with ease.

3. Your Brain Is Doing Its Job

When your heart races or your hands shake, it’s simply your brain trying to protect you. These physical reactions are normal, but you can calm them with intentional breathing.
Quick Tip: Breathe in through your nose for four counts, then out through your mouth for six. That longer exhale signals safety to your brain, helping you regain control.

4. Support Doesn’t Mean Something’s Wrong with You

Seeking help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a sign that you value your experience and want to make the most of it.
Quick Tip: Ask yourself, “If my best friend felt like this, what would I say to her?” Then, speak to yourself with that same compassion and kindness.

5. Presence Over Performance

Your loved ones don’t want a “perfect” version of you—they want the real you. Forget trying to perform your way through the day and focus on being present in the moment.
Quick Tip: Before your big moment, place your feet firmly on the floor and gently roll your shoulders back. Signal to your body: “I’m here. I’m ready.”

6. Your Calm Can Be Contagious

When you’re calm, it has a ripple effect on those around you. Your energy can help others feel at ease, too.
Quick Tip: Try humming softly under your breath when you feel tense. This activates your nervous system in a positive way, helping you regulate emotions quickly.

7. Rewrite Your Wedding Day Story

If you’re dreading your big day, it’s time to change the narrative. You have the power to shift your perspective and create a more positive experience.
Quick Tip: Say out loud, “I’m open to feeling differently about this.” Even if you don’t fully believe it yet, this simple statement opens the door to change.

8. It’s About How You Carry It

You don’t have to conquer the moment—just move through it with steady grace. Confidence isn’t about perfection, it’s about resilience.
Quick Tip: Keep a small object in your hand, like a smooth stone or a ring, to ground you in the present as you speak or walk. This tactile connection can help you stay focused and calm.

9. This Day Is Too Precious to Dread

Your wedding day is meant to be a joyful celebration, not a source of anxiety. By reframing your nerves as excitement, you can transform your experience.
Quick Tip: Each morning leading up to the event, visualize one small part of the day going well. Rehearsing calm, positive moments builds confidence and sets the tone for success.
