Today we are joined by Cath Davis. Unlike many of my guests, Cath is not in showbiz. She’s a proper bone fide civilian with a normal job. Cath is a professional middle aged woman with a background in policy, unionism and education. She’s long-term single, has a bunch of mates, loves her family and career and is not interested in a relationship unless it value-adds. Bravo to her.

Cath and I talk about being in your 40s and long-term single and what that’s like. We have a particularly moving exchange about how it feels to “not give” your parents grandkids. We talk about loving your own space and how you can learn from unsatisfying/inadequate/bad relationships in your twenties that you deserve more and, that you can build a happy life on your own. I also honour how great it is to have mates like Cath who have the energy, willingness and time to help out with - and enjoy - everyone else's offspring. Yes she's THAT FRIEND.

We also take some great listener calls on celebrating single life and also, a pretty niche but relevant call on whether the word “misogynist” is over-used which, in turn, prompts a chat about the co-opting of terms like gaslighting and other dating terminology – are they overused (I reckon they might be)?
