Amanda got engaged when she was 22 and met her husband at 18. Did you have the same support from your families or how did that go down? Mine is a little different because I'm not close to my family at all. His family sees us as very independent and they're super supportive. So we had no trouble there at all.
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.
