Hi Cutie! In this episode, you\'ll hear my conversation with Bella DePaulo, a social scientist and researcher with an expertise in the benefits of Single life and the author of the new book, Single At Heart. On the pod today, Bella discusses the societal pressures to find a partner, explaining that longterm single life actually leads to happiness for many people. She advocates for recognizing and celebrating personal milestones and achievements that aren\'t marriage or children-focused. Bella further shares advice for those struggling with societal expectations and how solitude could lead to creativity...Whether you\'re single or partnered, this episode is an important one to begin to understand and come to peace with the fact that we are forever in relationship with ourselves. The relationship you have with yourself is the one relationship that no matter what, you can always count on being there. This conversation will give you tools to start developing deep self-acceptance, self-love and enjoyment of your own company. Timestamps and links below, my love!\\xa0
