Stephanie got engaged around eight months ago. Amanda and Marissa decided last minute on July 4th weekend because that's their interdependence day. Since they're all combining families, we wanted it to be not asking permission, but more of like, how do you feel about it? Do you think we're ready? And I can share my screen really quick.
In part 1 of our 3-part series, we're joined be Amanda Natividad and Marissa Goldberg – two friends of the podcast – to discuss the traditions that surround love.
After getting engaged last year, Steph found herself in a place she didn't expect and with emotions that she didn't feel entitled to have. That led her down a deep rabbit hole of questions, ultimately ending up in a bunch of societal narratives.
She discusses them here with Amanda and Marissa, as they share how they navigated the narratives that underpin love, from engagement to name changes to family involvement and more. Without giving too much away, all three women have found their own unique way forward.
