64: Stay feral, my friends: A single woman's guide to navigating the holidays


Listen Later

The holidays are here, party people, and it’s time to lean ALL the way into your feral side. This week’s episode is your ultimate holiday survival guide, specifically for single, child-free women who are constantly fielding those unhinged questions from boomer family members. Whether it’s “Why are you still single?” or “When are you having kids?”, I’ve got you covered with both hilarious and practical comebacks to keep everyone on their toes. But at its core? This episode is about reclaiming the holiday.


I also share some wild voice notes from a dear friend who lived through these exact scenarios—and let me tell you, the stories are bananas.


In This Episode:

  • Hilarious, wrong-answer-only responses to intrusive family questions.
  • How to handle “Why are you still single?” without breaking a sweat.
  • Wild intergenerational stories that will have you screaming, “Same, girl, same!”
  • Practical tips for setting boundaries and surviving family gatherings.
  • The importance of self-care and building new traditions for yourself.
