Building a Marriage Before 30: With Mikayla Cohen
This week, we’re joined by our dear friend Mikayla, newly married and glowing just one month after the big day. In a world where the conversation is often centered around dating, situationships, and celebrating singleness, we wanted to highlight a different truth: some people find their person early, grow up together, and build something beautiful long before 30.
Mikayla and her husband have been together for over ten years, and in this episode, she opens up about what healthy love has looked like for them from adolescence into adulthood. We dive into her best tips for partnership, the realities and stressors of wedding planning, and the pressure of societal expectations around what a wedding “should” be.
We also unpack some of the toxic language around “finding your person” and how that narrative can make people feel behind or unworthy. Together, we emphasize this reminder: wherever you are in your love journey — single, dating, settling down, or unsure, it’s valid. You’re not behind. You’re not ahead. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
Tune in for a grounded, heartfelt conversation about growing love, choosing partnership, and rewriting the norms around relationships.
Sip of the Week: Porto Tonic (a classic Portuguese cocktail containing a mix of port wine & tonic water. Usually served over ice with a citrus garnish.)
