In this episode, my friend Janie and I chat about what it's like to grow up in Utah and not be married by your mid 20s. The reason I felt like this was an important topic is because it is not uncommon by any means for people to be married right out of High School and have all their kids by the time they're 25. I know in other states and cultures, this is weird.. Why would you get married at 18/19? You haven't even lived yet, etc. This is just how our culture and society is. So Janie at 25, living in Utah and still not married.. She does face some challenges and discomfort.
