When Everyone Else Is Moving On and You’re Still Single [S3 E14]


Listen Later

You’re okay… until the questions start. The family dinners. The weddings. The endless scroll of engagements, babies, and anniversaries on social media. Suddenly, being single doesn’t feel neutral – it feels like you’re behind.

In this episode, we talk honestly about social pressure, timelines, and comparison, and how they impact women who’ve been single for a while.

Sophie’s questions for us:

  • “How do I deal with the pressure from family and friends who keep asking why I’m still single?”
  • “Why does social media make me feel like I’m behind in life compared to everyone getting married or having families?”
  • “How can I stay confident in my own timeline when society makes me feel like I’m running out of time?”
  • “How do I deal with family gatherings where everyone’s paired up or asking about my relationship status?”

If you’ve ever left a family event feeling smaller than when you arrived, this episode is for you.
