You're listening to the Water Into Wine podcast hosted by Grace Valentine and Ketley Valcourt.

Hey everybody, welcome back to another edition of the Water Into Wine podcast.

I'm one of the co-hosts, Grace Valentine, and my other co-host is Kelly Valcourt.

I'm sure someone just turned off the podcast right now.

Oh my gosh. Can you tell?

We were definitely practicing. I know. Okay. So Valentine's Day was probably like about like a week ago by the time this podcast comes out.

And can't leave. If there's one thing you and I are really good at, it's being single. Is that right?

We got, you know, your normal professional single gals right here. I know. I know know some girls will be like it's so hard i'm like and i i've been in that phase where it's hard and like you're always a single friend but i feel like i'm at a point in my life now where every time i've been single and when i find that contentment in that season and i'm like confident and i have that self-esteem to be like okay I know I'm a

catch that there are plenty of fishing to see at the end of the day if you're single you could

have a boyfriend tomorrow if you really wanted to if you really that's the thing I have seen so

many times is like if girls really want to they will go out and they'll do it and that's the thing

for me I have been loving just the freedom of it because I mean mean, I travel a bunch and honestly, I could not imagine like checking in and be like, hey, babe, I'm going to go to like Louisiana this weekend or I'm heading to Colorado for a week. Grace is begging me to come with her or something. I have to go, sorry. So I just can't imagine doing that. And and like I respect those who good and do but like

for me I don't know that's the reason why I love it yeah no and that's honestly especially I look at

my career too and I'm sure there's girls out there who like and I used to be bummed about being

single but then every time I've worked really hard my career or like to achieve a goal I I'm not

distracted by someone so I think it's very easy for me to think like singleness

is a great thing for me because it helps me see what like I can do and it helps push me because I set

goals. I don't get distracted, but I do want a relationship. It doesn't, you know, and I think a lot of

single girls feel guilty for wanting a relationship and they feel guilty for they think they're crazy for wanting a boyfriend. Like, that doesn't make you crazy. You can want a boyfriend but still be content in your singleness. Oh, definitely. I remember this one time I was at work and we're leaving like this work meeting. There's an older woman comes up to me, haven't met her at that point point. And she was just like, yeah, like, who are you?

Where you're from?

Like, are you, like, she asked me first, do you have any kids? And I was like, oh, that's not a really way to start that. It's weird. We'll ask that now because we're 25. It's kind of normal, which I get. But I'm like, dude, that would be bad. I'm like, no, I wouldn't.

I guess it's kind of like getting to the point.
