In this episode of Mer On Air, I dive deep into the phrase “dating to marry”—why I used to say it, why I don’t anymore, and why the whole expression might be holding us back.

I get candid about my own experiences:

This isn’t about being anti-marriage—I still want to get married! But I break down why this mindset can be damaging, how it often sets us up for disappointment, and what healthier approaches to dating might look like.

From Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s chemistry scandal to the latest drama on Bachelor in Paradise, we explore how this pattern plays out in both celebrity culture and our real dating lives.

This week on Mer On Air, I share the real (and kind of wild) story behind quitting my service industry job — partly as a joke to “find my husband” — and how it unexpectedly opened the door to more freedom, self-discovery, and dating opportunities.

From back-to-back Hinge dates to navigating the awkward “So, what do you do?” question while unemployed, I unpack the insecurities, societal pressures, and surprising reactions from potential partners. We get real about judgment in dating, what being “ready” for love actually means, and why work ethic is such an attractive quality.

Whether you’re between jobs, between relationships, or both, this episode is for anyone figuring out how to date authentically in a transitional season.

In this unfiltered and emotionally-charged episode of Mer on  on Air, Mer  finally dives into a topic that’s been on her mind for months—why the idea of being a “girl’s girl” is a myth. Using the drama from Love Island as a launching point, she dissects the unrealistic expectations women place on each other under the guise of loyalty and “girl code.” From Huda’s controversial kiss in the villa to real-life friendship betrayals in college and adulthood, Mara explores the gray areas of female friendships, emotional territory, and hookup politics.

She shares personal stories of feeling betrayed, misunderstood, and cast aside—all while questioning why society upholds the idea that women must put each other first, even at the cost of their own desires. Raw, vulnerable, and at times hilarious, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what being a “girl’s girl” really means in 2025—and whether the term has any real meaning at all.

Tune in for one of Mara’s most passionate episodes yet—where heartbreak meets hard truths and the “girl’s girl” identity gets a long-overdue reality check.

Spoiler alert: one mustached short king might just be “the one.” Plus, we unpack why being “delulu” isn’t always a bad thing, why post-frontal-lobe dating hits different, and what happens when you finally get to rewrite your own narrative—one date at a time.
