Facing the holidays right after a breakup can feel like walking through a storm without an umbrella. But I'm here to tell you that 1. You are not alone and 2. There are ways to survive the festive season even when you're not feeling very merry.

PS
I am not a doctor. I am just a woman who has gone through her share of healing and personal growth and is eager to share what she knows with you.

Happy Holidays.

Paradise Perspectives will be taking a break for the holidays and will return in January 2025.

Travel writer and sex columnist, Simone Paget takes us on a journey through her whirlwind life as we talk about dating and relationships, and we add a hint of public sex in there to keep it interesting.

Simone shares her insights on nudist resort etiquette, as well as dating in a small town that has been romanticized by Hollywood and the Hallmark channel.

We discuss what it's like to live in a place that has been painted perfect in movies, being a childless and single woman over 40, and the awkwardness of modern-day dating.
