In the last episode of 2019 (I'll be back in two weeks), A Single Serving Podcast is so pleased to welcome Emily Morris as a guest. Emily is an author, librarian, and freelance journalist living in Manchester, UK. She's a fierce feminist and a single mother to a 13-year-old son. Her 2017 memoir, My Sh*tty Twenties, tells the story of her experiences through early single motherhood. Emily's story is important to hear, and her warmth and honesty in her discussion of single motherhood are a privilege to share with this audience. Anyone who has made the decision or is considering the decision to become a single mother will hopefully find this a wonderful listen.

This is a fun listen for anyone who's just kind of over dating and wants to pour a glass of wine and listen to two single women discuss dating, sex work, and the worst ghost either of us have ever known.

Jocelyn Reid is an Intuitive Transformation Leader and all-around inspiring energetic presence. Yes that sounds super spiritual, but so is Jocelyn. She is a guest this week that will be especially impactful for anyone who's feeling stuck, or feeling like there's nothing that they can do to affect real change in their lives. In her words:

“My purpose on the planet, in this life time is to ignite massive transformation in the lives of those who come into my field. I guide souls who know they are here for more but somehow feel stuck in bridging the gap between where they are, where they want to go, and who they desire to become.”

Sound good? I thought so, too. Press play.

Laura Warrell is a writer and professor whose work was posted in the Facebook group for this podcast — she is a guest selected by you! (You all have excellent taste by the way, Laura and your host were meant to be friends.) She is, to be blunt, one of us. Laura has made a major shift for herself in the way she views being single. She has taken the pursuit of partnership off the table, and rather than that being a sad thing, she has found a much more satisfying, intentional, and joyful life without it. Listen to this episode to hear how and why she made this change, and how you can do the same.

This episode was sponsored by The Self Coach, a career coaching service by Kellyn Bechtold. Below, testimonials from recent clients on the benefits they took from working with Kellyn!

"Kellyn and I discussed how to manage stress in a difficult job and how to discover what kind of job I want to do."

"Looking for a new job, especially later in a career, can be overwhelming. I felt like I didn't know where to start and that as much as I knew I was an asset to any company, that I didn't know what I wanted to do. Talking with Kellyn eased my anxiety and helped me focus, helped my way of thinking about my skills and my talent."

"I was looking for a job and Kellyn helped me get organized and rock my interview. Essentially every question she helped me prepare for was asked in my interview and the questions we hadn't discussed were easier to answer because of all the conversations we had leading up to the interview!"
