The Last Single Gal Standing
Sometimes it’s just a lot of energy to show up single to another happy hour with all those couple friends. But it kind of rubs salt in the wound when you have to show up to the wedding of your last single girlfriend. It’s a time to celebrate and be happy for them, but there’s nothing that could make you feel more alone.
Y’all, it IS hard. There is no mistaking that. And it's appropriate to take time to grieve that you don’t have the relationship that you might be longing for just yet. But there’s a real danger in comparing your life with everyone else’s or even with what you think you should have achieved by now. You haven’t failed my friend. Your life is simply unfolding differently. In this episode, I am challenging you to get unstuck in your disappointment. I want you to pull it together and show up in a big way to celebrate your friend for that one evening. Remember, your circle of friends is going to change with the different seasons of life. Embrace the gifts that those changes bring. And perhaps most importantly, remember to stop judging your insides with other people’s outsides.
In this episode we’ll explore:
- How comparison can keep you stuck longer than you planned
- Why your personal story has immense value that doesn’t change with a relationship status
- How to set boundaries about the input others offer about your singlehood
If you enjoyed this episode I invite you to take a screenshot and tag me on your Instagram stories @realtalkaboutthesinglelife and tell me what you think!
