More women are choosing to stay single, and it’s not because they’re “failing” at relationships. For many, it’s becoming a conscious decision shaped by money, independence, and the realities of unpaid labor.

Jackie and Candace unpack why romantic relationships can sometimes feel like taking on a second unpaid job, especially when domestic responsibilities, mental load, marriage, and motherhood enter the equation. They explore how these expectations can change the financial and emotional math of partnership—and why more women are questioning whether the traditional relationship model still works for them.

The conversation gets personal while tackling a much bigger shift: what happens when women have more freedom to choose what they want their lives to look like?

The advice to “just find connection online” is starting to look a lot like a business model.

In this episode, Jackie and Candace unpack the loneliness economy — a growing market built around isolation, and the apps, platforms, and products that may be monetizing loneliness instead of actually solving it.

From dating apps and subscription models to algorithms designed to keep us scrolling, they explore how technology can blur the line between helping people connect and keeping them engaged. They also make an important distinction: being alone isn’t the same as being lonely. Choosing to live alone, stay single, or build a quieter life can be completely different from experiencing real isolation.

It’s a conversation about technology, consumer behavior, comparison, vulnerability, and the question at the center of it all: Are we actually solving loneliness, or just building subscriptions around it?
