Marissa Mayer: There are just so many weird social protocols wrapped up in engagements and marriages. It's also so overdone on social media where they make it out to be like this huge thing, she says. "I think a lot of people don't even notice all of the things that they do with respect to these topics," Mayer adds.
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.
