    Dating is different after 40. Whether you've been in love before or not (or are not sure), you've likely seen and experienced enough to know what you don't want. And as you get clear on what it is you do want in a relationship, you may be left with the question on how to get it. Dating has changed. Relationship styles have evolved. And I ponder all of this with Katie Phillips, as she asks the women she works with – who do you need to be in order to have the love you want in your life.

    Being single has its absolute high moments. And it can also feel like an endless hell. Especially when you feel so done with it. Perhaps you get to the point that Shani Silver, humor essayist and podcaster did: ‘I had been dating fruitlessly for a full decade and there came a moment of absolute exhaustion. And it wasn't just exhaustion with dating or exhaustion with searching for someone, it was exhaustion with the frustration around those activities. I was tired of being tired of being single. It was enough.'So Shani changed her view on being single as something other than a problem to fix at any cost. She reframed the way she viewed and experienced her own singlehood, to increase her sense of self-worth and live her life at whole new levels of happiness, fulfilment and satisfaction. In this podcast Shani and I discuss her book, A Single Revolution', which spoke to my heart as a long-term former single winab. And I am sure will speak to your heart too.  Show notes:How to reframe singlehood to increase your self worthUnderstand how dating in its current form is serving youAnd if not, what you can do insteadThe shame of singlehood is damaging, especially to women Reframe your life so that you feel empoweredJealousy is something that can be shed Fully embrace your own life and it's unique timelineSee the gifts that come to you because of being singleDecide on who you want to be in the world and own it Accepting the fantastic, custom-designed life that is yoursKnow that you are whole and complete right nowDon't wait for a partner to live the life exactly the way you want toLive life fully now – being happy is a present-time choiceAbout Shani:Shani Silver is a humor essayist and podcaster from Fort Worth, Texas who began writing at age six. Her name is pronounced like “rainy” with an “sh.” She publishes most frequently on Medium as well as on her website, shanisilver.com. Her podcast, A Single Serving Podcast, launched in April of 2019 in the hopes of giving single women content that—for once—didn't revolve around dating, and to support women around the world in reframing singlehood. Shani has lived and dated in Austin, TX, Los Angeles, CA, Chicago, IL, Philadelphia, PA, and Brooklyn, NY. She currently lives in New Orleans. Following ten years of use, Shani permanently deleted her dating apps in January of 2019. She has loved her life ever since.Connect with ShaniAmazon link to Shani's book, A Single Revolutionhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Single-Revolution-Dont-match-Light/dp/1544525303/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=a+single+revolution&qid=1647025389&sr=8-1 Shani's website https://www.shanisilver.com/ Follow Shani on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/shanisilverConnect with AndreaThe discussion continues over on social media. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreabalboni_lush/Sign up for the Lush Love newsletter to learn about new podcasts:  Website: https://www.lushcoaching.com/
