On this episode, I reflect on a powerful conversation I had during my recent trip to Taiwan. A colleague shared the immense pressure she faces from her family to marry—not for love, but out of obligation. I also learned of a woman who went through with her wedding, even after her fiancé cheated, just to avoid losing face. These stories made me think deeply about societal expectations, personal choice, and the quiet ways we surrender to pressure.
