Episode 38: Let’s Talk About It, Why I’m Still Single

Send us Fan MailThis episode came from a really simple but honest realization I had recently…I’m not single. I’m ALIIIVE! The word “single” has been carrying a lot of weight that doesn’t actually belong to it.For some people, it means something is missing. It turns into questions like:Why are you single? Why aren’t you married? What’s wrong?And then on the other side, it swings into this hyper-independent, anti-love energy.. I don’t fully resonate with either.I wanted to sit down and talk through what this season has actually looked like for me.After almost 7 years of being a single mom, I’ve had time to really observe life-  my own patterns, relationships around me, and what actually creates stability… especially when kids are involved.This episode is about:redefining what “single” actually meansthe pressure women feel to explain their relationship statuswhy I stopped saying I’m single… and started saying I’m alivewhat it means to build a life that already feels fullhow time gives you clarity in what you actually need in a partnermy ideal man “list” (to God)and why I’m willing to wait for alignment instead of settling for “decent”I also share some perspective around:single-parent households in the U.S.how common this actually isand why bringing someone into your life (and your kids’ life) isn’t something I take lightlyThis isn’t about being anti-love, I do want love. I do want marriage. I would love to have more children.But I’m not living from a place where something is missing while I wait for that. 🫶🏼Connect with Host, Ella🎞️ Earth Tones Podcast Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/earthtones.podcast🎞️ Personal Instagram https://www.instagram.com/earthmamaella🎬 TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@earthtones.podcast🎥 YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@earthtones-podcast
