S22E17: What Everyone Gets Wrong About Being Single (From Someone Who Has Been Single Her Entire Life) w/ Dr. Bella DePaulo
About this episode
Dr. Bella DePaulo discusses the joys of being single and how to thrive on your own.
What if you actually love living alone and are sick of the pitying looks from those who couldn't imagine happiness outside of coupledom? We're joined by Dr. Bella DePaulo who describes herself as 'Single at Heart' and shares why she's happy as a clam (even well into her 70s!) and feels anything but lonely being single even in a partnered world. We're discussing how to know if you truly are single at heart or where you fall on the spectrum, how you can thrive on your own whether it's for the long-haul or just in a passing season, and why you can have a meaningful, fulfilling life filled with love regardless of your relationship status.
