This is a fan fav episode. This is a fan fav episode. What up homies, I'm your host, Lisa Bilyeu and today I invited my girl, Faith Jenkins back for another episode to guide you on this journey of empowerment and it’s dedicated to all of the single ladies that are fed up with B.S. dating advice and trying to keep everyone else happy.

We’re about to share a secret with you - it’s the secret of embracing and living your best life, no matter what stage of single you're at (actually it’s more like 6 secrets that are no longer secret, but they are life changing).

No one talks about how exciting and meaningful the single life can be. Being single can be an exciting, fulfilling phase of your life that’s so much more than a waiting room for marriage or failed relationships. In fact, it's a time of self-exploration, a time to unchain yourself from past hurts, and a time to understand what you truly want from love and life.

This two-part episode is a pot of priceless lessons on mastering the art of being single and happy. We cover everything - from enjoying the single phase, becoming an intentional dater, to understanding the importance of marriage for you (in your own words,not your momma’s words). We're not just talking about the good bits, but also the challenges - like family pressure, loneliness, and the fear of settling.

Welcome to Women of Impact - where being single is celebrated, not single-shamed, and check out the 6 Steps to Master Your Single Soulmate Journey with Faith Jenkins: ⁠https://sisdontsettle.thinkific.com/courses/sis-dont-settle-six-steps-to-master-the-single-to-soulmate-journey⁠
