My very special guest this week is one of my fabulous listeners, the lovely Maddie Southorn, who works in communications and business development for a legal educational charity. She is also a singer-songwriter, musician, and knitter of cat toys! (Check out her Etsy store - link below).

Topics that Maddie & I cover are:

how Maddie is single by circumstance and her struggles around that;
her most recent relationship and how they were engaged to be married;
how it took Maddie a while to adjust to living on her own;
Maddie’s experience of being single, and how turning 50 sparked a bit of an existential crisis;
how a combination of things mean she c urrently feels very shaky around her singlehood;
how Maddie’s Mum being ill has been incredibly difficult for her, and is making Maddie feel very alone and vulnerable when she thinks about her future;
the importance of working on our thoughts and how Maddie works hard on her own mindset;
online dating and how Maddie chooses not to engage in it because it feels so contrived;
how Maddie misses the fun and excitement of dating in the ‘organic’ way that people used to;
how Maddie knew from a young age that she didn’t want kids, and how she used to feel there was something wrong with her because of it;
how Maddie is a rockstar at heart;
how she describes her music as piano-based, moody and a little bit mournful.
