Summary
I'm joined by an anonymous 31 year old woman who opens up about her journey to find self acceptance in her single hood. She shares how she felt more pressure in her 20s to find her person, but as the years went on, her fierce independence and love for the life she’s built for herself became more apparent. We discuss the joys of singlehood, how she feels about the possibility of never finding a life-partner, her approach with going on dates, what led her to learn her worth and put herself first, and more.

| 0:46.4 | And I'm here to talk about wanting to prioritize independence and the challenge that that is with dating. |

| 1:10.5 | being single for a long time, it's like you've built your life. |
| 1:14.1 | Your life is yours. |
| 1:15.8 | And to let somebody else in and share it with them is like really daunting and really scary. |
