  • #012: Celebrating being single on Valentine’s Day

    *Valentines Day Special*. We don't want you single ladies to feel alone so we are bringing you this week’s episode one whole day early! We talk how we celebrate V day as a single gal (going all the way back to the painful and funny memories of our teen years!), the rise of Galentine's day and travel through history (pretty unsuccessfully!) to find inspirational and successful single women.

    From Coco Chanel to dick pics and from facebook relationship status updates to the transitory status of being single, we dive into all the random single subjects that are affecting us on this day.

    Plus, why do we see so much more representation for single mums over single women sans children? We explore the challenges around stating you are single on social media and the modern crisis that is #singleinvisibility

    Come join us girlfriend and give us a slice of your mind once you have let us chat in your ears!
