Sutanya Dacres is an American expat living and cooking solo in Paris. Obviously she and your host were destined to be friends. Sutanya joins the podcast this week to cover singlehood and solo living themes filed under: highly relatable. From the sound one solitary fork makes as it hits a plate, to why people will follow you on Instagram but not ask to meet you for coffee in real life. There are more than a few realities of singlehood that need exploring, and we're up to the task.

Stefanie O'Connell Rodriguez is the Founder of Statement cards and a personal finance author. She's on the podcast this week discussing female ambition, and financial strategies for single women. This is an episode for anyone seeking financial advice and discussion for the way life actually IS now (meaning, it doesn't matter how many cups of coffee we deny ourselves, they'll never add up to a downpayment). You will also love this episode if your ambition has ever been referred to as a negative. Stefanie and Statement cards are changing the narrative around female ambition, milestones, and celebrations, and cheers to that.

Gray is The New Blonde Producer/Director Victoria Marie joins the podcast this week to change the narrative around gray hair. Her documentary, five years in the making, features women with a wide variety of stories to tell about gray hair—why they transitioned, how they transitioned, and all of the feedback they received along the way. Victoria and the cast of her film are generating positive change for an entire world of women who have received nothing but negative messaging about graying hair. It is a joy to welcome Victoria to the podcast, and as you'll hear, our follicular future is bright.

She's a guest today following an incredible discussion in this podcast's Facebook group around sobriety.

Shahroo Izadi is a Behaviour Change Specialist and, incidentally, your host's new friend. If you'd like to hear two people discuss the behaviors and habits of singles in a way that's leveled-up beyond the standard "ugh dating sucks why am I single" diatribe, you're in the right place. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in implementing change in their lives from a place of compassion and kindness, rather than restriction and rigid rules. Press play and hang out with two Dawson's Creek-generation women who preferred Pacey right from the start.

Apologies for the sound of wind in the background, this episode was recorded during a hurricane Isaias-related storm.
