Send us a text In this week’s episode of Spinsterhood Reimagined, it’s just me, myself, and I, talking about my 5am morning routine. I have been getting up at 5am for a couple of years now - sometimes even 4:30am - and it has completely transformed my life for the better; so I wanted to tell you guys all about what exactly I do when everyone else is still sleeping!

Send us a text In this Saturday's Minisode, I'm talking about how us singles can have a tendency to romanticise family life. I think that sometimes, because the grass can often seem greener on the other side, it is easy for us to forget the not-so-fun-and-sexy aspects of family life. In this minisode, I mull over my thoughts on this subject, and look at how we might go about re-framing these unhelpful thoughts in order to feel more empowered about our single, childfree status. COME & JOIN MY...

Send us a text In this Saturday's Minisode, I'm sharing three clips from a workshop I did a few weeks ago with some of my lovely listeners. I talk, among other things, about how we will never find happiness within a relationship because it has to come from inside of us. I also touch on other things mindset-related, including how we should all become more aware of our thoughts because our thoughts - more than most of us realise - are having a huge impact on how our lives look. I hope you enjoy it...

It does not mean that we’re lacking anything or that our lives are any less meaningful than anyone else’s. Being single is neither better, nor worse, than being in a relationshi...
