Marissa: I feel like we should have another conversation on this, but all of us have worked remotely for quite some time. And so it feels like some of these other things, whether it's the way you get engaged or married, it's not that there's a right or wrong, but it's almost there are other ways. Amanda: It was the exact opposite for me because I went on this untraditional path towards engagement and marriage. That gave me more confidence to start my remote work company in 2018 prior to the pandemic.
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.
