Being Single On Purpose

Being Single On Purpose

The world has exactly one story for a single woman in midlife: something is wrong with you. You're waiting. Still looking. Got issues.

Bullshit at its finest.

There's a difference between single-and-waiting and single-and-sovereign — same relationship status, completely different woman. One's keeping a seat warm. The other one already picked herself.

This week we get into what that actually looks like, including the part nobody says out loud: sovereign doesn't mean never lonely.

IN THIS EPISODE

→ Why the toy aisle told you the story before you could even read

→ Single-waiting vs. single-sovereign — two entirely different women, one status

→ How all five archetypes do alone: proving, serving, investigating, defending, breathing

→ The aligned one who still walked away — and why disappointment is its own kind of grief

→ What Frances figured out in Tuscany that most of us are still waiting on

→ The honest part: some Saturdays are long, and that doesn't mean you got it wrong
