Podcast Episode: Single Really Suits Me With Bella DePaulo
I don’t even know where to start. My first guest in 2020 is Bella DePaulo! You’ve seen her work on Psychology Today (and you’ve shared it with ME in the Facebook group), and I certainly hope you’ve read her books as well. It is my genuine pleasure to welcome Bella to the podcast this week, she is a major inspiration of mine and generally a joy to speak with about this single life of ours. Her research into single life and all the ways society blatantly favors couples over singles is nothing short of jaw-dropping. This episode is absolutely a must listen to anyone who’s experienced frustration with single life but never really felt like they had the insights and research necessary to back up their experiences. I love this episode so much, happy new year everybody!
