Is single actually the new power move? Or are we collectively living through a full-blown Relationship Recession? Or can both things be true?

In honor of "Galentine's Day," Jean and Cherie take you through another in-depth 'Cultural Investigation' where they trace the evolution of what a "woman should be" — from housewife, to rebel, to Girl Boss, to Trad Wife — and land on a potentially new archetype: the Successful Single Woman. 

 🔎Along the way, they break down:

- How 1st, 2nd, and 3rd wave feminism have shaped women’s options and expectations

- Why we’re seeing record levels of singlehood across genders 

- What Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd represents in the “have it all” era

- How dating apps, modern burnout, and rising standards are changing what people will tolerate in love

And make sure to stay tuned for Jean's first ever "Recession Lesson" where she applies economic recession frameworks to relationships and shows why you DON'T need to be fully depressed about our 'Relationship Recession' 🤓

Whether you’re single, coupled up, in a situationship (hopefully not), or exploring other unconventional partnerships: this one’s for you.'
