Closing Thoughts and Call to Action

In this must-hear episode of Dear Future Wifey, Laterras R. Whitfield sits down with Niya Gonzales, a 31-year-old influencer who recently went viral after making the bold decision to call off her very public engagement.

 

What sparked widespread conversation—and mixed reactions online—was Niya’s honesty: there was no infidelity, no abuse, no scandal. She simply changed her mind.

 

In this transparent and emotionally grounded conversation, Niya shares what led to that decision, the internal wrestle of listening to her intuition, and the pressure of making a life-altering choice under the scrutiny of social media. Together, Laterras and Niya unpack the difference between doing what looks right and doing what is right, especially when it comes to marriage.

 

This episode explores:

 

The courage it takes to choose clarity over comfort

 

Why “nothing went wrong” can still be a valid reason to walk away

 

The emotional toll of public opinion on private decisions

 

Discernment, self-trust, and honoring your inner voice

 

Redefining failure, faith, and freedom in relationships

 

Whether you agreed with her decision or questioned it, this conversation invites you to look deeper—beyond the headlines—and wrestle with what it truly means to choose yourself before saying “I do.”

 

🎧 This episode is honest, thought-provoking, and necessary.
