"I felt anxious about the term fiance as well," she said. "It's something like there's a certain connotation or maybe just because it's a fancy sounding word, my fiance." She doesn't want to make this about her wedding that I haven't planned yet and don't want you to ask me about it. It feels like it's bringing up an irrelevant point in a conversation where you're like, I'm happy about it.
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.
