The Single Spark with Chantelle the Coach (previously The Single Girl's Guide to Life)

In this episode, I explore the many myths and misconceptions that surround the single life. Contrary to popular belief, being single is not a death sentence; it is a lifestyle choice that can be just as fulfilling and rewarding as being in a relationship. And getting into a relationship isn't the silver bullet for success and happiness either!

Looking at the work from author and social psychologist, Bella DePaulo, I delve into the understanding of why single life isn't the be all and end all of our lives, and help spread the findings from DePaulo's research to debunk common misconceptions around the single life and provide guidance and encouragement to those who have chosen to embrace it. 

Whether you are single by choice or circumstance, this episode will help you see the many advantages of living a happy, fulfilling life without a romantic partner.

Valentine's Day is around the corner and with it comes a lot of pressure to find someone special to love, and you start thinking "I'd just be happier if I was in a relationship!"

But why are we so concerned with starting or being in a relationship? 

In this week's podcast, I examine the reasons why getting into a relationship won't make you any happier, focusing on how to find true contentment in yourself rather than in a partner.

Listen to this podcast episode to get a better understanding of why the key to happiness lies within, in spite of what popular culture may have you believe, and learn why focusing on true self-love as a single is more important than finding a romantic partner.

I don't know about you but the dating process could be BORING at the best of times. From all the swiping, starting chats only to not hear back, it could feel like a success to even get a reply. But then when it came to arranging a first date and yet again, dinner and/or drinks was suggested?! It felt like a never ending loop of the same old thing. 

When you're single, dating is part of your social life. It shouldn't be the same all the time, and it needs a bit of variety. And it shouldn't be all serious anyway. Yes, you'd quite like to find a boyfriend but what better way to do that than when you're actually having fun rather than sat across a table much like an interview, hoping that the conversation doesn't dry up?! 

This week, I share my tips and tricks for making dating fun so that you can remember the difference between each date, and make it a exciting and memorable experience for you and your date that neither of you will forget! (And it won't even if you never see them again...)

The recent announcement of the all-male nominations for the Brit Awards Artist of the Year has sent some feminist in a spiral claiming lack of representation. As has become routine for certain sections of the media, this has sparked a debate on gender-neutral awards and whether or not this is a step backwards for feminism.

Instead of jumping on the tabloid headline bandwagon, I take a step back to look at at some of the reasons behind the all men nominationss, considering the other category nominations, listening habits of the population and the wider context of what could drive males to have swept the floor for Artist of the Year.
