How to enjoy being single as a woman

Despite what all the romcoms and Disney movies lead us to believe, being single as a woman is not just an unfortunate condition to be tolerated, it's something that you can actively enjoy! 

Research shows that by 2030, 45% of women are predicted to be single, and single women tend to be happier, healthier and live longer than married women. But even though most women nowadays are financially independent and we know that being single has a lot of benefits both to our physical and mental health, in our current society it's still seen as bad for a woman to be single, especially after a certain age. And it can be really hard to enjoy being single when a lot of people around you might consider this an unconventional lifestyle or even something radical. We're all socially conditioned to live in a heteronormative way centred around romantic relationships and marriage. 

And even though nowadays more and more women are starting to understand that it's better to be single than be in a bad relationship, a lot of people do get lonely when they're single and find it hard to build connection and meaningful routines in their lives, as well as feeling that they're getting excluded from social events if they don't have a plus one. 

But there are so many things you can do to make sure that you're really getting the most out of being single, and that's what we're talking about in this episode! 

We discuss everything from not caring too much about parents' expectations to how to enjoy your alone time, and share our advice for how to enjoy being single as a woman, including practical tips and mindset shifts that we think can make a huge difference!
