Maia sits down with her best friend Isla- who some may remember from the In This Together podcast- for a candid, fun, and encouraging conversation about singleness at 27.

Filled with lots of laughs and real moments, Isla opens up about grieving the expectations she once had for her life, the tension of waiting, and what it looks like to surrender those desires to God daily. She shares how singleness hasn’t always been easy, but how the Lord has been gently reshaping her perspective along the way.

Isla is a beautiful example of what it looks like to hold both joy and sadness at the same time—learning you can fully enjoy the season you’re in while still carrying unmet desires and longings.

As she continues to trust God with her future, she’s learning to dream with Him, pursue the life in front of her, and not wait on a relationship to start fully living. Instead of holding back, she’s choosing to step into joy, purpose, and freedom right where she is.

This episode is equal parts honest and lighthearted—full of encouragement, truth, and plenty of laughter for anyone navigating singleness and learning to trust God with their story. Follow us on @overflow.thepodcast for more updates on our relationship series!
