Most people would argue that being married with children is still the norm. However Clare Payne, the author of ‘One: Valuing the Single Life’, begs to differ. Throughout her book, Clare reveals that more adults are living alone than ever before and that single people are forging new ways of living happy and fulfilling lives despite continuing to be subject to discrimination and bias about the value of a life. Her book gives an insight into what Clare claims to be the greatest unspoken demographic shift of our time: the way more and more people are now choosing to be single. In this episode, Clare explains why it’s time to finally put an end to outdated ideas about what it means to be single and realise that at any given moment each one of us could become single. This episode highlights the extent to which there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to living your life and that your life is by no means any less valuable just because you’re single.

Your host, Nicole Colantoni, is back with another SOLO episode, where she gets deep about her previous heartbreaks and what each of them taught her about herself, and what it takes to have a healthy and happy long-lasting relationship. Ever felt guilty or upset about the way you or an ex-partner behaved in a previous relationship? She shares the many ways we can drop the shame and blame and instead use it to learn valuable lessons about ourselves as well as how we can transform our love lives for the better.

Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or going through a breakup, Nicole’s insights will remind you that healthy love starts with you and that we are all deserving of it if you’re willing to put in the work to not only give it but feel worthy of receiving it.  “How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you”.  - Rupi Kaur  FIND ME: IG: @Single_at_Thirty W: singleatthirty.com JOIN: Join the Single at Thirty private Facebook group and workshop any love, life, or relationship dilemmas you are experiencing with like-minded Modern Women.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/231424128600095 SIGN UP: For the first time ever Single at Thirty will be hosting an online workshop “Why Attracting Healthy Love Starts With You" which will be held by dating expert and host of the Single at Thirty podcast Nicole Colantoni as well as Psychologist Rachael Torcasio.

We all know that after a breakup there’s an expectation that we will just move on. Or at the very least move on eventually. That we will just somehow magically switch off any feelings we once had for that person and get on with our lives like the relationship never happened. But, what if you can’t? What if the impulse to think about an ex becomes all-consuming? And what if that impulse goes on for months, even years. What if it never goes away? This Single at Thirty solo episode explores some of the reasons behind why so many of us keep thinking about, and even obsessing over, our ex's including the tools we can use to finally stop being haunted by the memory of our past relationships.
