In this listener Q&A episode, Shari Rash answers three real-life money questions from women trying to make smarter financial decisions without overthinking, guilt, or one-size-fits-all advice. First, how do you plan for holidays, birthdays, travel, school events, weddings, and family obligations without feeling like you are budgeting every bit of joy out of your life? Then, what if you grew up in a family where money was never discussed — and now you feel embarrassed asking basic financial questions as an adult? And finally, if you are single, own your home, and rely on one income, is a three-to-six-month emergency fund really enough? Or does it make sense to keep a larger cash cushion? Shari breaks down how to use sinking funds for predictable-but-irregular expenses, why not knowing something about money is not a personal failure, and how single women can think about emergency funds, homeownership, liquidity, and investing with more nuance. Because real financial planning is not about following generic rules perfectly. It is about knowing how those rules apply to your actual life. If you're ready for personalized, judgment-free financial guidance, learn more about working with Shari.

What should we do with singleness? Receive it with thanksgiving as God's gift or grieve it as a source of real sorrow? Maybe the answer is both.

We are consuming more than ever. More content, more frameworks, more steps, more systems. And a lot of it is genuinely useful — but at some point the volume of it stops helping you and starts working against you. Especially when you're a single woman who is already trying really hard.In this episode, Lauren breaks down what's actually happening when self-improvement content starts to feel like a project that never ends — and why so much of the content marketed to you as healing and empowerment still has a man buried at the finish line. Plus, what it looks like to start trusting what's already inside you instead of looking for the next thing to consume.If you've ever felt behind despite doing all the right things, this one is for you.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

What's for dinner? A handful of grated cheese? Some olives and a croissant? A whole crab, eaten in bed? This one goes out to all the exhausted girlies who can't be arsed to cook. What wonders emerge when women find moments of freedom from compulsory and unpaid domestic labour? Ladies, gentlemen and nonbinary pals, welcome to the cursed/blessed super-trend that was, and is, GIRL DINNER. This week Dan and Kasia are joined by a very special guest, writer and academic Eli Davies, whose authorial debut The Spinster Cookbook is published today! Together we ask: is ‘girl dinner' infantilising, or a moment of feminist liberation? How do people eat differently when their lives are affected by chaos, stress and being a bit ‘goblin-like' – and why might Girl Dinner offer a relief, and comfort, when life feels unrelenting? And how does it intersect with gendered notions of ‘what women should eat' – are women still performing a role in service of patriarchy if there are just a few chaotic scraps on the plate, and no protein? We talk about the meaning of the word 'spinster' - and why Eli thinks it is preferable to ‘single'. And ask the vital question: was the Ploughman's Lunch the original girl dinner?  Also: “What about ‘mum dinner'?”, as Laura Thomas asked in a recent essay?   Buy THE SPINSTER COOKBOOK: Culture, Politics and Pleasure in the Single Woman's Kitchen – which is OUT NOW. It's a book which draws on Bridget Jones, Annie Ernaux, Sex and the City and Doris Lessing with equal enthusiasm, along with Nigel and Nigella, Delia and Jamie. And we love it.

Happy Wednesday EICarrot cakes! This week we're tackling, maybe the only downside to being single for women? Glamour columnist Chante Joseph, known for her viral Boyfriends Are Embarrassing piece, published a recent piece titled ‘Is the ‘single woman tax' going to cost me my future?' In it she dives into the very real financial burden of not being coupled up.In the piece she speaks to Renée Sylvestre-Williams, the author of The Singles Tax: No-Nonsense Financial Advice for Solo Earners, who defines the ‘singles tax' as the “financial penalty that single people are paying as a result of a society that has primarily focused on ‘the couple'.” She has some galling figures including the fact that retirement costs 44% more than for those in a couple. And if you're single in London, you're paying over £20,000 a year on living and lifestyle costs. She links this to the increased Hinge prompts joking about splitting rent and the fact that women are being encouraged to find a 6ft banker to couple up with. We dissect this dire situation ,with your help! Thank you! We hope you enjoy.

I interview Curly Vixen about a recent multi-day swinger hotel takeover in Niagara Falls, Canada March 2026 run by C &R. She attended as a single woman unicorn, split a room with two other women to cut costs, and describes the event setup: a potluck, an eighth-floor party corridor with open-door rooms, loud music, and informal activities like poker, coffee invitations, door prizes, a clothing/lingerie swap, and a themed Saturday night. Curly shares two play experiences: a Friday hookup where condoms were unavailable so sex didn't happen, and a Saturday threesome with a couple involving a hot tub, toys, and strong chemistry; she also rode a sybian in a communal room. She recommends packing supplies, bringing things to share, and keeping expectations open. *description written with the help of AI* Content mentioned in this episode: 1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ VIN - Valentine's in Niagara swinger convention vlog: ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/episode/0JPvtdgqwaiOijoZEEmz8k?si=6e1b4b94f734434e 2.

In this episode, I delve into the misconceptions about single women in the swinger lifestyle. Inspired by my friend DTF Tanya, I realized that not all single women are unicorns looking to hook up with couples. Some join for different experiences, including seeking multiple men, women, or just for the atmosphere. I discuss the diversity within the lifestyle, such as people who enjoy parallel play or soft swapping, and emphasize the importance of educating oneself. I invite you to explore my free podcasts filled with interviews and insights from various perspectives in the lifestyle. Let me guide you through this journey with my experiences and knowledge. 00:00 Introduction: Not All Single Women Are Unicorns 00:11 Different Motivations in the Lifestyle 00:39 Understanding the Term 'Unicorn' 00:55 Diverse Interests in the Lifestyle 01:16 Personal Journey and Realizations 01:38 Variety of Lifestyle Preferences 02:23 Educational Resources and Podcasts 03:42 Conclusion: Sharing Knowledge and Experiences **Description written with the help of AI** THIS VLOG IS AVAILABLE IN VIDEO FORMAT IF YOU OPEN IT ON SPOTIFY (FREE APP) ***** ALL social media links (YouTube, podcasts, fan page, etc): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/TorontoUnicorn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ DIRECT link to my explicit TorontoUnicorn fan page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://OnlyFans.com/TorontoUnicorn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, we're getting real about the kind of holiday hurt no one talks about — the moment you're surrounded by family and still feel invisible. When traditions change without you, everyone else is coupling up or having kids, and you're left navigating a season that doesn't feel like yours anymore. And in the middle of all that tenderness, the urge to text your ex creeps in… not because you want him, but because you want to feel seen. We talk about why these emotions hit so hard, how to tell the difference between loneliness and longing, and what it looks like to hold yourself when old wounds resurface. If this holiday season has made you feel left out, behind, or tempted to reach back for the wrong person, this episode will meet you right where you are.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

This one's personal. It's a love letter, a pep talk, and a little bit of a call-out. After being single for a long time (hi, 7 years), I've learned that confidence doesn't come from someone choosing you—it comes from building a life that turns you on without waiting for them to show up. In this episode, I'm walking you through 10 things every single woman needs—not to get the guy, but to feel alive, grounded, and fucking proud of the life she's creating. From vibrators to rituals, girlfriends to guilty pleasures, we're going there. This isn't about becoming better. It's about becoming you. More fully, more unapologetically, more deliciously than ever before. So pour the wine in the real glass. Light the candle. And press play. Because you're not spiraling—you're single, and you're thriving.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

“Will I ever find love?” It’s a question that carries a weight of longing, hope, and maybe just a sprinkle of frustration (or a vat, depending on the day).

Today, she's back to share the next chapter of her journey toward solo motherhood.In this conversation, Tara speaks with honesty and vulnerability about the setbacks she's faced—multiple egg retrievals, the financial strain of treatment, and the deep emotional toll of pursuing IVF as a single woman at 42. She also opens up about the regrets she carries: wishing she had pursued IVF or at least frozen eggs earlier, and staying in relationships longer than she now wishes she had.What makes Tara's story so powerful is not a picture-perfect narrative, but her willingness to share the messy middle—the heartbreak, the resilience it takes to keep going, and the importance of self-compassion when the outcome is still unknown.Tara's reminder for all of us: resilience isn't about toxic positivity. It's about choosing yourself, holding onto hope, and finding peace even in the hardest seasons.“Choose yourself, always.” – Tara ResnickIf you've ever wondered what it's really like to walk through IVF on your own—the ups, the setbacks, the financial and emotional weight—I hope this conversation will make you feel less alone.In this episode, we discuss:Tara's second and third egg retrievals, including the unexpected decision to pursue a Duo Stim cycleThe financial and emotional impact of IVF as a single womanThe vulnerability of navigating fertility treatments without a partnerReceiving difficult PGT results and the decision to transfer an untested embryoHow to balance hope and grief without falling into toxic positivityWhy Tara believes trying was still the right choice for her, no matter the outcomeAnd moreConnect with Tara: Instagram | @TaraLaurennnSimple Coaching for Health & Weight LossEvolve with Tara: Solution Focused Coaching

She believed she deserved excellent care NOW before she was ready to conceive and so she went in search of it.

I love her story and openness and I know you will, too! NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.Guest Bio: Born and raised in Kansas City, Jen is a lifelong Catholic and proud University of Kansas alum—yes, she love the Chiefs and believes KC BBQ is the best in the world.

She shares how her relationship with Jesus became real after college and how God has faithfully guided every chapter of her life, even when it looked very different from what she imagined.Now in her sixties, Stacey reflects on the joys and challenges of singleness, the beauty of spiritual motherhood, and how God used a small act of obedience years earlier to prepare her heart and home for adoption. Her journey reminds us that God sees, God knows, and He always goes before us.Contentment is possible: Singleness is not second best. Stacie shares how God gave her peace and purpose in remaining single.God sees and prepares: Stacie talks about God's faithfulness in connecting her, a woman without children, with daughters who needed a mother's love.Loneliness is real — but so is God's presence.Scripture Highlight:“The Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord gives grace and glory.

In this raw and resonant conversation, host Deborah Moffatt of The Healing Version sits down with licensed clinical social worker and founder of Restority Space, Fanny Tristan, to unpack the complex intersection of trauma, womanhood, and singlehood for Black and Brown women. Fanny shares her journey into social work and how her personal experiences as an eldest daughter shaped her trauma-informed approach. She highlights the unique emotional challenges that firstborn daughters face—especially perfectionism, anxiety, and depression—and how these intersect with systemic pressures around relationships, marriage, and motherhood. Together, Deborah and Fanny dive deep into the colonized mindsets around love, self-worth, and gender roles. Fanny explains how women often internalize shame or a sense of being "behind" when single in their 30s or 40s, and why therapy shouldn't always be about diagnosing but about creating supportive, holistic environments where women can thrive. Fanny also discusses how her platform, Her Soul Supply, offers live masterclasses, retreats (like her recent one in Oaxaca, Mexico), and group coaching for single Black and Brown women to heal, explore their identity, and form intentional sisterhood. This episode is a rich, unfiltered reminder that: You don't have to be chosen to be worthy. Softness requires safety. Sisterhood heals. Healing is political.
