The One Where I Talk To Journalist, Writer & Speaker, Nicola Slawson

Send us Fan MailSupport the showIn this week's episode of Spinsterhood Reimagined, I talk to freelance journalist, writer and public speaker, Nicola Slawson. Nicola has had a brilliant and exciting career in journalism, and she is also the founder of the award-winning and very popular weekly newsletter, The Single Supplement, which explores the highs and lows of being single, and is approaching 10,000 subscribers!She has written for multiple publications including The Guardian, The Huffington Post, The Independent, The Telegraph, Refinery 29 and Psychologies Magazine. During her mid-twenties, Nicola also spent time travelling the world as an English teacher in South Korea, Spain and Italy.In this conversation, Nicola and I discuss the different kinds of readers who are attracted to her newsletter, the ups and downs of her single life and how she decided to take herself ‘off the market’, as well as her lifelong desire to be a Mum and where she is in that journey.We also ponder other topics including our thoughts around women automatically taking their husband’s surname when they marry, Nicola’s dislike of the phrases ‘my other half’ and ‘unlucky in love’, and her struggles in her early thirties during which time many of her friends were getting engaged and having babies. Nicola can be found on Instagram: @nicola_slawson and @thesinglesupplement. She can also be found on Twitter: @Nicola_Slawson and @TheSingleSupp. And her Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thesinglesupplement/Link to Nicola’s newsletter, The Single Supplement: https://thesinglesupplement.substack.com/ Join my Private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: @spinsterhoodreimaginedFollow me on Twitter: @LucyMeggesonEmail me: [email protected] the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/bookJoin my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesoloDownload my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacksCheck out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/Email me: [email protected] And thank you so much for listening!
