By 2030, most adults, especially women, might be single for life. A study by Pew Research Center found that nearly 1 in 4 single adults may stay single for life. While that doesn't mean everyone is destined to be alone, it does reflect big cultural changes in dating, relationships, and partnership compared to 30 years ago. Cities like Boston are even ranked among the loneliest in America.Dr. Gabe sits down with Kristal Kleer and Desiree for a candid, eye-opening conversation about the future of relationships—specifically, the growing trend of lifelong singleness among Millennials and Gen Z. Need relationship advice?

On this episode of IADC Speaks, Host Mollie Benedict (Tucker Ellis LLP) chats with guests Bernadette Catalana (Thompson, Coe, Cousins & Irons, LLP) and Heidi Friedman (Thompson Hine LLP) to explore “Noah's Arc Syndrome”—the experience of navigating singlehood in a world that often feels built for couples. Together, they share their personal journeys from being in relationships to becoming single, and how that shift shaped their identities, outlooks, and resilience. The conversation touches on the unique challenges single professionals—especially lawyers—face in the workplace, how dating in mid-life builds unexpected skill sets, and why being single isn't a problem to solve, but a chapter full of growth and possibility.Whether you're happily single, reluctantly solo, or just curious, this conversation offers perspective, laughter, and maybe even a little solidarity.

Singlehood often masquerades as freedom while functioning as a self-imposed panopticon. Society frames solitude as either a sacred act of self-love or a pathological failure to bond, yet these binaries obscure a deeper truth: Choosing singlehood frequently reflects a hypervigilant dance between trauma and transcendence, control and surrender, echoing Krishnamurti's warning that “the observer is the observed.”

He was born in Athens, Greece and he completed his post-graduate and graduate studies in the United Kingdom. He has published several peer-reviewed papers, books and chapters in books in the area of evolutionary psychology. In this episode, we talk about singlehood from an evolutionary perspective.

This will serve as our next series in the Love One Another school year theme and will tackle the various stages of relationships we find ourselves in. In this first message, Phil will lay out a theology of singlehood. Though our modern world often portrays singleness as lonely or incomplete, this was not always the case throughout history, or even in scripture itself.

30-Sekunden-Zusammenfassung: Die Angst vor einer neuen Beziehung hindert viele Menschen daran, in einer erfüllten Partnerschaft zu leben. Betroffene erleben oftmals Begleitsymptome wie Stress, Herzrasen oder sogar ein Druckgefühl in der Brust. Die Ursache dieser Beziehungsangst findet sich häufig in negativen Erfahrungen der Kindheit oder früheren Beziehungen. Bindungs- und Verlustangst, eine Ex-Beziehung zu einem Narzissten oder einer Narzisstin sowie die Furcht, abgelehnt zu werden oder etwas zu verpassen, sind mögliche Gründe, warum sich Menschen vor einer Beziehung scheuen. Du kannst die Angst vor einer neuen Beziehung mindern, indem du dein Selbstbewusstsein stärkst, vergangene Beziehungen aufarbeitest und geduldig mit dir selbst bist. Ein Coaching oder eine Therapie können dabei helfen, negative Glaubenssätze und Verhaltensmuster aufzulösen, um mehr Sicherheit für eine neue Beziehung zu gewinnen.   Hier sind die Links zu den 1:1 Coaching-Programmen aus unserer Akademie Buche dir hier dein persönliches Vorgespräch zur HEARTset-Journey: https://bit.ly/2ZY1yjn Buche dir hier dein persönliches Vorgespräch zu Lion is Rising: https://chrisbloom.de/lion-is-rising/   Studien "Settling for less out of fear of being single": https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24128187/ "Fear of Relationship Commitment and Singlehood": https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40806-023-00382-z The link between self-esteem and social relationships: A meta-analysis of longitudinal studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31556680/

Fresh Conversations with Shani Silver: are dating apps a total scam? In this episode of A Fresh Story, Olivia and Jenny talk to Shani Silver, an author and podcaster, about the exploitative nature of dating apps and the societal pressure to be in a relationship. They discuss the evolution of dating apps from websites to apps, and how these platforms prioritize profit over helping users find love. Shani emphasizes the importance of reframing single-hood and finding happiness while single. They also touch on the reactions to Shani's content and the lawsuit against Match Group for making love elusive on purpose. In this conversation, Shani Silver discusses the predatory nature of dating apps, the pressure to find love, and the importance of living authentically. She highlights the lack of safety measures on dating apps and the need for change in dating app culture. Shani emphasizes the importance of living a fulfilling life and challenging societal expectations. She encourages individuals to define their own identities and celebrate single-hood. Overall, the conversation explores the complexities of modern dating and the impact it has on individuals' mental health and self-worth. Shani Silver is an author and podcaster originally from Fort Worth, Texas. Her name is pronounced like “rainy” with a “sh.” Her book, A Single Revolution: Don't look for a match—light one, helps singles reframe singlehood to see its value and validity, for as long as we happen to be single.

Topics discussed in this episode of A Fresh Story with Shani Silver: Dating apps prioritize profit over helping users find love. Singlehood should be reframed to focus on happiness and personal growth. Societal expectations and stigmas around relationships can be harmful. The lawsuit against Match Group highlights the addictive nature of dating apps. Dating apps can have addictive behaviors and may not deliver on what people are seeking. The pressure to find a romantic partner can lead to settling and compromising one's values. Dating apps lack safety measures and can expose users to abusive or predatory behavior. Living authentically and focusing on personal fulfillment is more important than conforming to societal expectations. It is crucial to challenge the commercialization of love and celebrate singlehood as a valid and fulfilling lifestyle.
