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

We’ve all been there before – feeling alone and wondering if we’ll ever find that special someone. Wondering if this feeling will last forever is one of the parts of being single that can scare us the most. But it’s normal to feel this way, normal to want to connect with someone else, to want to have that special someone.

In this week's episode, Chantelle shares the mindset shifts you can use to take the fear about of the potential of being alone forever (even if that's a REALLY small possibility) and encourages you to look at your single life differently!

2022 in Review: Looking back on 2022, it was a year of big changes and new beginnings. I quit my full-time job as a teacher, shifting into flexible, freelance work and settling on using supply teaching as a basis, and as much as I was prepared for that shift, it didn't go as smoothly for me mentally.

With time and attention now on the business, I've had a creative year of learning new methods, trying out events and failing along the way. 

And I finally took a break from dating in the early part of the year, putting my attention on myself and the transition only to get back to the dating scene and go on a few dates. 

Reviews are your time for reflection, to check your highlights and summarise the year. Whether you need to put the year behind you, or will miss the fun and excitement of the year rolling out, looking back allows you to see how far you've come and to prepare for what's in store. And Chantelle shares her reflections and learnings on 2022 as she prepares to shift gear for 2023.

2022 was a year like no other. So much happened, both good and bad. But one thing remained constant: being single. For many of us, being single was a choice. And for others, it was a circumstance beyond our control. But whatever the reason, being single in 2022 taught us all some valuable life lessons. 

As a new year begins and we head into 2023, Chantelle takes a moment to reflect on the lessons learned from working with single women throughout the year and the repeating messages and themes that we can all get caught up with in single life. 

If we want 2023 to be different, we have to look at 2022 and look at what patterns we keep repeating and end them throughout the New Year!

In this week's episode, Chantelle interviews business owner and 5-year-long single, Alex O'Neill. She shares with us her experience of being single, and highlights the opportunity you have to use your single life for exploration without the confines of a relationship.

And it isn't just about physical intimacy, but the way in which you explore you personality, to find out who you really are and to lean into the version of you that doesn't have to align with everything you've been told by the outside world. Alex shares her journey and navigation of single life in this interview, which is Part 1 of 2 (second episode to follow next week).
