Fiona Harvey, the woman unearthed as 'the real-life Martha' by internet sleuths following the wild success of Baby Reindeer, gave a highly controversial interview to Piers Morgan on his YouTube channel last week, so of course we had to debrief.

How does one 'be single'? It can look a million different ways, and about everyone feels like they are doing it wrong. Do you need to play the numbers game with the modern dating landscape being so heavily dependent on apps, or do you focus on a strict list of what is really important to you? Are you thriving with flying solo and plan to stay that way? Figuring all of this out can be absolutely exhausting and overwhelming.  Join LJ and Di as they talk through a fabulous movie with exactly zero plot holes, and Di cannot recommend enough How To Be Single. 

This week, Host Ace McKay brings you into the conversation with Taylor & Sarah on “Forte Catholic” as they discuss people getting married later in life, the lack of young people going on dates & young Catholic women longing for marriage. In addition, we introduce you to a new podcast called “Catholic Influencers” as they discuss what to do if you feel you are called to marriage but find yourself over 30 and single.

“What the Experts Say Psychologist Jenny Taitz sees singledom as a chance to figure out what you want from life. The extra time you have compared to people in relationships allows you to understand what you want and value. While you might think that people in relationships can do all that to understand themselves and pursue their dreams, the reality is that whatever they do in life has to consider someone else's needs. You cannot fully understand your values while being influenced by someone you spend all your time with. Your principles and needs will always be skewed to accommodate your partner while in a relationship. So, being single is the best way to make time for yourself. You can be who you want to be, build your dream life free of constraints. Want to go to boozy brunch with friends? No one is stopping you. Want to take a year to travel the world? You don't have to ask for permission. Be single and go live your best life!” “1. Singles Have More Time For Themselves Being in a committed relationship takes time—a lot of it. Constantly having to slot in some couple time can be tiring and can stop you from building the life of your dreams. Imagine trying to pursue a dream while in a relationship. While it's not impossible, it sure requires a lot more sacrifice when you have someone else's needs to consider. Say you want to travel, move to another city because of career opportunities, or otherwise follow your dreams. You can't expect your partner to give up their dreams to follow you worldwide. Thus, all your dreams will have to either be kept on hold or pursued with half-measures. Relationship expert Niloo Dardashti, Psy.D., explains that people committed to a relationship tend to stop doing things independently. People in couples usually lose touch with themselves because they have less time to focus on personal development. She explains that being alone makes you more self-sufficient, more willing to “roll with the punches” and take on whatever life throws at them. When your life is wholly yours, you are more likely to take risks and pursue whatever dreams you have.” -Lakeisha Ethans --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

While it's important to recognize that the impact of TikTok's dating advice can vary among individuals, one could argue that TikTok's divisive dating advice is potentially harmful to love and relationships. Here are some points that support this argument:Oversimplification and Lack of Context: TikTok's format, with its short videos and limited time, often encourages oversimplification of complex topics. Love and relationships require nuance and understanding, and attempting to condense them into quick soundbites can lead to misunderstandings or unrealistic expectations. Without proper context and comprehensive advice, individuals may make ill-informed decisions that harm their relationships.Promotion of Toxic Behaviors: Some TikTok creators may promote toxic behaviors or provide advice that encourages manipulation, game-playing, or disrespect towards partners. This kind of advice can undermine trust, communication, and mutual respect, which are crucial for healthy relationships. Following such advice can lead to the deterioration of love and relationships, as they are built on a foundation of honesty and emotional well-being.Unrealistic Expectations and Comparison: TikTok's curated content often showcases idealized or exaggerated versions of love and relationships. This can create unrealistic expectations for individuals and lead to constant comparison with others' lives. Comparison can breed dissatisfaction and discontent within one's own relationship, as people may feel their love doesn't measure up to the romanticized images they see on TikTok.Shallow Focus on Appearance: TikTok is a visual platform, and some dating advice may prioritize physical appearance over deeper qualities. This can reinforce superficiality and place undue importance on looks rather than compatibility, shared values, or emotional connection. By emphasizing external attributes, TikTok's dating advice may neglect the foundations that sustain love and relationships.Lack of Individualized Advice: TikTok's content is created for a broad audience, but love and relationships are deeply personal and multifaceted. Generic advice may not address the unique circumstances, dynamics, and challenges faced by individuals in their specific relationships. Relying solely on TikTok for advice may prevent individuals from seeking tailored guidance or professional support, which can be crucial for resolving relationship issues.It's important to note that not all dating advice on TikTok is detrimental, and some creators do offer helpful and constructive insights. However, it's essential for users to critically evaluate the advice they encounter, consider multiple perspectives, and prioritize open communication, trust, and respect within their own relationships.What TikTok reveals about Gen Z dating: In an honors thesis for Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies, 2023 grad Talia Fiester examines ‘Neoliberal Love and the Pathology of Gen Z's Singledom.' https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/what-tiktok-reveals-about-gen-z-dating-hyperindividualism-heteropessimismCheck out all of the KOP Radio Network's talk and music offerings plus contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comFollow KOP on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok or Facebook @kingofpodcastsSend a question, comment or topic to KOP to kingofpodcasts@yahoo.com and he will talk about it on a future segment of Depraved and Debaucherous.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5267208/advertisement

Sarah welcomes Shani Silver, who is an expert on Singledom. She discusses her book, A Single Revolution, her podcast, A Single Serving Podcast, and moving to New Orleans from Brooklyn. Shani emphasizes never to be desperate to find anyone. She and Sarah also talk about dating apps, and Shani describes them as “hope rollercoasters” that breed mental health problems and cause more harm than good. Men are not scarce resources, so women should not be afraid of growing older and being single. Love is not over at 37, and women are not just holes!

Lucy Meggeson is a podcast producer and host, who previously worked as a programme-maker at BBC Radio 2. At the start of 2022, she launched the 'Spinsterhood Reimagined' podcast, which explores and celebrates single life, whilst challenging the stigma that can be attached to being single and without kids. Lucy is happily childfree, but in this chat, she shares an unexpected broodiness that happened in her early 40s, and how she navigated temporary feelings of grief and sadness. From smashing the negative stereotypes linked to spinsterhood and showing that being single isn't plan B to embracing your life right now, there is so much that will resonate regardless of whether you are in a relationship or not.If you'd like to learn more about Lucy, do check out her website lucymeggeson.com Also we'd highly recommend her brilliant podcast Spinsterhood Reimagined https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/spinsterhood-reimagined/id1606620264If you enjoyed this chat, please do subscribe and share it far and wide.

As the only “single” person here tonight. I think it's okay for me to open up. Mr. Williams here has been married for quite some time and although I didn't get to attend the nuptials, Shar and I started planning her wedding to Roger in UWI library, probably long before he proposed. I was a maid of honor and a bridesmaid and I see firsthand what planning and executing a wedding looks like. But marriage is so much more than the big day.

Is a relationship a success only if it progresses in a socially prescribed sequence of states from dating to till-death-do-us-apart - also known as the relationship escalator? What is solo polyamory and how is it different from good-old-fashion dating? Why does single-by-choice carry so much stigma?  Effy and Jacqueline invite journalist and author Amy Gahran to the show to discuss the relationship escalator, what it looks like to get off it or opt out of it in the first place, solo polyamory, voluntary singledom, couple's privilege and its flip side, singleism.  Guiding us in this conversation is Amy Gahran (AKA Aggie Sez)Amy Gahran is the author of "Stepping Off the Relationship Escalator: Uncommon Love and Life." She lives in Colorado.

What if you really want a partner, but don't yet have one? Why do we think it "means" something about us if we aren't yet in the relationships we thought we would be by a certain age? Holly Whitaker (she/her) joins us today to talk about her experience of being mostly single over the past 10 years. She shares honestly about what it’s like to really want something, to feel like you’re missing out by not having it, and yet to also somehow also know that you aren’t ready. This conversation is filled with such wonderful nuance, and Holly and I do our best to each hold space for the both/ands of life—where seemingly contradictory things are true at the same exact time.

Finding the joy and happiness in your solitude and freedom is empowering. It's allowing God's grace to enter your life and experience self love.

Does our society discriminate against those who are single? Are spaces, ideals and social norms only catered towards the monogamous couple? We talk about the difficulties of online dating, the unintended consequences of making the private sphere, public, and the problems men and women face when trying to find intimacy and connection in this new technological frontier. We even deconstruct Love Island and discuss the potential harm of some of the gender stereotypes that exist there. With us today is Alicia Denby a PhD Researcher in Sociology at the Manchester Metropolitan University. Her research interests include gender and sexualities, modern dating practices, and singlehood. Her PhD, is titled "Singlehood and the City: An Investigation into the position of the Single in Urban Space", focuses on the spatial naturalisation of heteronormativity in an urban landscape.

Happy post V Day! Now that the Hallmark holiday has come and gone we want to do a deep dive on the joys of being single. We recap our rooftop Galentine's soirée, and dish about Dina's chocolate bender (yes, you read that right...it's not Becca this time!) Plus, we share our IG poll results where listeners gushed about their favorite things about being sans a partner. We got some pretty freakin' great responses! As two strong and independent women, we're so proud of how much we've grown through each heartbreak. Sometimes you have to lose someone to find yourself. It's unfortunate that society deems there's something "wrong with you" if you choose NOT to be in a romantic relationship. There's such power in being whole on your own, and only allowing a partner in your life who will elevate it. ⁣ Shout-out to Iambrillyant for the empowering quote we kick this episode off with!

This week, we discuss social pressures to get married, where the need for long-term companionship comes from, and what being ‘single' really means. 

Moving on from a bad break-up can be done and you will do it. This is the best advice that I could muster from my experience of going through a bad break-up, being trained as a therapist and the advice that my own life coach passed on to me. In this final part I talk about: - How and why you need to set solid boundaries with your ex - Understanding what your "new" relationship with your ex is now - The importance of finding and fixing yourself. - Why you need to "be single" before you go into your next relationship - The power you give yourself by taking the time to heal - And deciding what you want from your next, more healthy, relationship ************************** If you'd like to work directly with me to help with your break-up or any issues that have arisen because of it then head to gystcoaching.co.uk where you can read more, book in a free consultation or book in an appointment for life coaching or hypnotherapy. Wishing you a happy and healthy new relationship in the future.

Join us this week as we vent about living the "single life". Being two single ladies, we have often gotten some responses from the public about our singledom that have rubbed us the wrong way. #annoyed. In addition, we also discuss some ways coupled up folks can better include their single friends in their lives! Grab a brew, and let's vent!

Maya and Amanda discuss why more women are staying single and what the benefits of marriage are.

The podcast gets off to an intense start, as Ana discusses a piece she wrote on the last time she was single - her senior year of college, giving rise to a discussion around vulnerability, growth, and what it means to be in a relationship. Hana's piece then takes the episode in a completely different direction, addressing how trauma plays a crucial role in the actions of governments and countries, while still giving insight into her self perception as a writer and person. Originally recorded on August 16, 2020. Ana - The Single Life: A Reflection My break-up with my ex was heartbreaking, freeing, and utterly transforming. And I was only 21. So young, so confused and bewildered, and terrified. My personal toolbox was nearly empty and so I had no awareness of how and why I behaved and thought the way I did. When I was with my ex, I was entirely negatively attached. We had trauma bonded and created an incredibly toxic codependent relationship. It was so caustic that I spent most of my days feeling physically ill because he wasn't with me. Our relationship at that point was long-distance but short enough that I would waste away my weekends with him trying desperately to get my emotional and intimate needs met. When I returned home from these visits or “weekend booty calls'' as I began to refer to them, instead of being emotionally buoyed, I felt drained. Unhappy, angry, and lonely. Loneliness is a theme that I can follow the storyline of even in my first memories. Scared, sick and scared, always searching for someone to tell me it's ok and that these scary thoughts and feelings aren't real - that I would actually be ‘seen'.  The final ending of my relationship with my ex, though incredibly painful, was exquisitely freeing. I didn't have to show up to anyone but myself. I didn't have to be continually disappointed with someone or angry that my needs aren't being met, yet confused as to why I didn't actually know what they were. All my focus turned inward. I remembered that I loved to be social and I began to refocus on more friends. I found the friend group I had been longing to be part of. To feel part of something, to not feel so isolated and alone. I put myself out there. I began to date and allowed myself to have fun.  With my nights truly alone, I began to create more routines for myself. Even though I had never lived with a partner at that point, having a partner in my life filled up my head so much that I didn't know how to just be “me”. All my thoughts were about him and my unhappiness in our relationship. But being single, somehow made me happier and more fulfilled. This was when I began to write music. I would sit in my room in the house I shared with my sister and write and write and play and play. I would journal like mad and yet I still struggled. Struggled with my circular thoughts and internal talk of self hate and loathing.  Loneliness. I couldn't break free of it. Loneliness in relationship, loneliness without. Even then I wanted to be held in a way that transformed me, that saw me, that made me feel a sense of comfort, contentment, and calm - a way that I have never found in myself. So instead of doubling down on focusing inward, I focused out. I began the search for a ‘real' connection, but only through the guise of romantic connection to a man. I ran from myself. It was too dark and ugly anyway to think I could ever truly be loved and healed from the inside. My God, if I had had the insight then to seek help and guidance and to understand that the mind numbing, anxiety-ridden world I lived in wasn't healthy or a livable truth. I had resigned myself to thinking that this is what life was and that it was all I deserved. I was convinced that I was unlovable, broken, shameful, ugly, and cold hearted. Yet, I knew I wanted the holy grail of love. It was as if I was on a fantastical quest to seek out a mythical creature, a creature only in my dreams and fantasies, that would break the spell

To launch this brand new season, Rosie investigates and celebrates singledom. She speaks to Scummy Mummies podcaster Helen Thorn, who found herself suddenly single after twenty-two years of marriage just as the U.K. went into lockdown. Helen entered a sort of ‘separation boot camp', filled with sad songs and sneaky fags at the back of the garden, in the absence of being able to hug friends. But she revelled in the liberation of reclaiming the house, spending quality time with her children and discovering, via online flirting and dating, that her sex drive had suddenly gone through the roof. Rosie also chats to author and podcaster Francesca Specter, who has coined the word Alonement in order to reclaim solo time as a joyful and precious thing a million miles away from loneliness, and to happily long-term singleton comedian Juliet Meyers.  You can now follow The Breakup Monologues on Instagram

0816 The Influencer (with Leah Grace) (#leah #grace #singledom) Artist Leah joins us and shares her reflections on self-love, growth, healing and singledom.

Y'all! Natasha FINALLY chopped it up with one of her rap idols. You may be shocked, but it is what it is. The Baddest B*tch is STILL a baddie, but she'd much rather be called TRINA these days. Natasha and the queen of the 305 sip Hennessy (shout out to our fabulous podcast sponsor!) and some bubbly and have some REAL talk about growth, these MEN, and womanhood. Trina dishes on why she never got her boobs done and Natasha & Trina fan out over their mutual love for Cardi B. Trina tells all about who she wants to do a female rap collabo (and a male collabo) with next, getting into the acting world, wanting to play Beyonce in a biopic, sex fantasies, the insane features on her new upcoming album, men being attracted to the baddest b*tch but can't handle domestic Trina, her worst job ever before making it, her feelings on being 38 without husband/kids, why she doesn't acknowledge Khloe Kardashian, Twitter negativity — but she sometimes GOT TIME to clap back, and of course, cheating exes! Oh yeah, and which track she would perform for Trump for a huge check. We also play smash marry kill w/ Iggy Azalea, Lil Wayne & French Montana. And she gives us her Fast Fab 5! Trina's newest single "Damn" ft. Torey Lanez is available now on iTunes!
