Welcome to the second series of Am I Nuts. This is the fifth episode in a series of ten weekly podcasts from us at the Women’s Running podcast. I am your host Esther Newman, and she is your other host Holly Taylor.

In this series, we wanted to explore some of the things that we’ve talked about on our big podcast – that’s the Women’s Running podcast – that don’t necessarily have anything to do with running. Hol and I are natural born worriers, and we’ve realized that in almost every episode, we talk about at least one of those worries – and we also realized that with many of them, we’ve thought we were the only ones. We thought we were nuts. If you have something you think we should talk about, then please email us at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk

Are we nuts to worry about getting married?

In this fifth episode, we wonder if we’re nuts to worry about getting married. We talk about the societal pressure, the peer pressure, the conformity of it, and the struggles with gender norms and expectations.
