Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing?

from Unsolicited Advice With Mum · host Jenny and Zoë Ottaway

Heya!!In this episode, we are chatting about the infamous Vogue article 'Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?' written by Chanté Jospeh. Zoe and Jenny kick things off by disagreeing on a premise, opening up an honest conversation about the anxieties of modern dating, from Zoe feeling self-conscious about posting her partner too much, to Jenny worrying about needing permission to post them at all. We break down why feeling "embarrassed" is really just us caring about other people's judgment, and why it's time to stop letting outside opinions dictate our lives.We talk about navigating the ultimate relationship risk: losing and abandoning yourself. We tackle the idea that being single is just a form of "purgatory" we have to endure until the next partner arrives, and instead discuss how empowering it is to focus on your own aspirations. Whether you're single or in a relationship, it's all about intentionally choosing your status and feeling empowered.Zoe shares a crazy, serendipitous story from a night she went solo to an event and met Chanté Joseph. Plus, we dive into why women absolutely love to dissect situations, (so much so that we literally created a whole podcast dedicated to doing exactly that)!We hope you enjoy listening!Much love,Jenny & Zoe xxx
