No one really prepares you for what marriage actually feels like.

Not the first few months.
Not the doubts.
Not the expectations that quietly fall apart.

In this Off The Record conversation, Kayla Levin breaks down the things most people don't talk about — from Shana Rishona struggles to miscommunication to the moments people quietly wonder, did I make a mistake?

If you're newly married… thinking about it… or years in and still figuring it out — this one will hit.

⚠️ This episode cuts off midway.
