No Small Talk- Conversation Starters for Introverts

12. Stephan Speaks "You Deserve It: Love, Happiness and Success" | No Small Talk Conversation with Ivy Gales and Shani Farmer


Listen Later

In today's episode, we are joined by Ivy Gales and Shani Farmer and we discuss our experience at Stephan Speaks "You Deserve It: Love, Happiness and Success" tour.  We touch on the highlights of the conference, what we liked, what we didn't like so much, and our general thoughts on the pressure single women feel to be more desirable and approachable by men. Here's what to expect:

  • Shani shares her own relationship journey, how she introduced the idea of celibacy to her now husband, and how she had to learn to tap into her feminine power to allow him to lead the direction of the relationship.  
  • Ivy explains how witnessing her parents' 42-year old marriage has helped her to remain optimistic as a single woman; and her desire to be chased and led in a relationship.
  • Sherry expresses her frustration with the narrative of the single black woman who cannot get a man because she's not feminine or vulnerable enough, and that she's to blame for being single.
  • Child, this was a deep one.  It's also a long one.  But listen to the full episode for all of the gems, we promise you won't regret it.  Plus, Shani and Ivy share their favorite no small talk conversations starters.
