TOPIC:
Being single gets a bad rap, but it can truly be one of the happiest and most fulfilling times of your life. We dive into how to embrace being single when it feels like everyone around you is coupled up, why singlehood is an important season of your life, and we also share some science-backed ways to enjoy being solo! The real challenge in gaining any long-term contentment is to have a good, kind, and healthy relationship with yourself, and being single gives you an amazing opportunity to do so. Whether you’ve found your person or not, this episode contains great tips for becoming more comfortable on your own and reframes what it means to be single.
In this episode, we discuss:
Reasons why Millennials are getting married later in life
The importance of immersing yourself in meaningful activities and enjoying the moment
Breaking negative thought cycles about being single
Why you should never change yourself to be ‘dateable’
Strengthening other bonds in your life, like friends and family
