In this week’s episode, I’m talking to the fabulous Eva Papadopoulou.

Eva is a psychologist who is originally from Athens, Greece, but who has lived in London for nearly 20 years. She is happily single and childfree.

Topics that Eva & I cover are:

how Eva always knew that the traditional life path wasn’t for her;
the resistance Eva faced as she was growing up, and how hard that was;
how Eva is an only child, and how subsequently her parents struggled to accept that she didn’t want to follow the prescribed path;
how when she tried relationships, Eva felt as though she was losing herself;
how some people shine by themselves, and some people ‘merge’ and shine together;
how freedom to Eva is freedom of time, freedom of resources, and freedom to use your space the way you want;
how being single and childfree gives you the opportunity to grow;
how life is about becoming the best version of yourself;
what Eva means by ‘owning your happiness’;
how there is more opportunity to push outside of your comfort zone, and take risks, when you’re single;
how we need to be conscious about creating our own happiness, and the idea that it’s an inside job;
how Eva finds much of her happiness and connection in nature;
being self-aware, and identifying the moments where you can find joy every day;
how, in 2009, Eva felt as though she had lost her purpose, and how a subsequent cancer scare was the catalyst for her solo trip around the world.
Eva’s advice for the single ladies who aren’t happy about their relationship status.
