Let's face it, our world is driven by labels. Whether we're talking about ethnicity or favorite store to shop at. Labels exist everywhere. In this episode, I'm unpacking this label concept and how to redefine your singleness with a blank slate. We are given these "rules" in which singles are supposed to live within, but that's not the case. I talk about my experiences as a single woman, how I'm redefining what that looks like for me, and encourage you, my friends, to do the same. Follow Mind Your Own on Instagram and Facebook!
