Summary
UNFILTERED: I'm joined by a 40 year old woman who shares the pressure she's felt over the last twenty years to find her person, get married, and settle down. We discuss how our society makes us feel like we're running out of time and have to meet someone by a certain age, what it's like to see your friends get into relationships and move forward with their partners while you're not, and how to accept that some relationships aren't right, no matter how much we sometimes wish they were. We hear how she's learned to get comfortable with the idea of being alone and appreciate the amazing life she's built for herself.
