Being Single Is Not a Sin: The Soloists Revisited


Listen Later

Ever felt the pressure of being single in a relationship-driven world?
In this episode, we revisit our November 2024 conversation with Mallory Everton and Diana Brown, creators of The Soloist Podcast. They dive into the complexities of being single within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sharing their personal experiences of navigating societal and religious expectations around marriage. Mallory, a comedian, actor, and writer known for her time on Studio C, and Diana, Assistant Director of Interreligious Engagement at Georgetown University, offer valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of being single in a faith-driven community.
They delve into the emotional toll of unmet expectations, how faith can guide us through life’s uncertainties, and the importance of finding worth beyond relationships. With humor and heart, Mallory and Diana highlight the need for more inclusive, empathetic conversations about singleness in church communities. Their advice? Embrace wholeness, lean on community support, and focus on creating a narrative where success and happiness are not defined by relationship status.
Whether you’re single or want to better understand your single friends, this episode is packed with wisdom and compassion for everyone.
