My guest on this week’s episode is the fabulous Allora Cannon Campbell.

Allora is 34, single, childfree, and the oldest of 10 homeschooled kids raised on a horse farm in New York State. By the age of 32 she’d never been kissed, let alone been in a relationship, and in 2023 Allora started talking about her big ‘secret’, as well as her adventures with dating, on TikTok. Eighteen million views later, and an appearance on the Drew Barrymore Show thanks to documenting her life as a self-proclaimed ‘late bloomer’, she is now a spokesperson for those people who have also come to the game of love and sex later in life.

She lives in Western New York, marketing for a biotech company by day, and writing by night.

Topics that we cover are:

Allora’s wonderful childhood with her parents and nine siblings;
how taking care of her younger siblings was - and still is - a big part of her identity;
how she thought she was the only person in the world who was a ‘late bloomer’, and how embarrassed she was by it;
what it felt like to be ‘behind’ everyone else in terms of love and romance;
the feeling of isolation when you’re not hitting the usual milestones at the ‘right’ time;
her first relationship at the age of 32, and what it felt like to experience all of her ‘firsts’;
the expectation and pressure she felt about 'knowing what to do';
what happened when she started sharing her ‘late bloomer’ journey on TikTok;
the story of Allora going on The Drew Barrymore Show;
the dating app ‘hellscape’ and her experience of it;
how, whilst she wants to share her life with someone, she us “super good” at being single;
why women don’t need men in the same way as they used to;
how Allora’s standards for relationships are high because her parents have such a great relationship;
the article she wrote after suffering the grief of her first heartbreak;
what Allora finds the hardest about being single;
her novel, Sisters, Salt & Dragons.
