How To Love Being Single (And Why It's The Fastest Way To Stop Being Single)

from You Will Be OK · host Sabrina Bendory

Being single isn't most women's end goal, but it's a chapter you'll never get back, and how you spend it shapes everything that comes next. In this episode, I'm making the case that genuinely loving your single life isn't a consolation prize. It's actually the energy that attracts a healthy partner in the first place. I break down the Law of Detachment from my book "Detached"— including what it actually looks like on a Tuesday when he hasn't texted back. I also tackle the elephant in the room most dating advice ignores: timeline pressure, fertility anxiety, and the friend who just posted another sonogram. The reframe? Worrying about your timeline does not change your timeline. Action does. Freeze the eggs, make the financial plan, get healthy, go to therapy, expand your network for life (not just for dating) — and then release everything beyond that. I also share the story behind the philosophy: my "Summer of Me," the last summer of my twenties, when I stopped chasing, started living, and ended up meeting my now-husband in the middle of it all. If you've been treating your single season like a waiting room, this one's for you.
