In this episode, I explore the many myths and misconceptions that surround the single life. Contrary to popular belief, being single is not a death sentence; it is a lifestyle choice that can be just as fulfilling and rewarding as being in a relationship. And getting into a relationship isn't the silver bullet for success and happiness either! Looking at the work from author and social psychologist, Bella DePaulo, I delve into the understanding of why single life isn't the be all and end all of our lives, and help spread the findings from DePaulo's research to debunk common misconceptions around the single life and provide guidance and encouragement to those who have chosen to embrace it.  Whether you are single by choice or circumstance, this episode will help you see the many advantages of living a happy, fulfilling life without a romantic partner.
