## Resource

In today's show, Maria talks with John about what it’s like to use dating apps, social media's impact on people's expectations, and how double standards have challenged roles and authenticity. The conversation opens up questions about John's experiences of breaking family expectations when families had more influence or control over the dating process. John pursued relationships independently and took hold of his life working through unforeseen challenges that arose during the episode.
