Thrive Solo The One Where The Brilliant Shani Silver Is Back On The Podcast!
My guest on the podcast this week is the one and only, Shani Silver.
Shani is an author, writer, and podcaster. She is the host of 'A Single Serving Podcast', and the author of 'A Single Revolution: Don’t Look For A Match. Light One'. She writes two Substacks, 'Cheaper Than Therapy', a healing newsletter for 80s babies, and 'Hey Shani', a toxic positivity-free advice column. Both publish once per week.
Shani is passionate about changing the narratives that limit women, especially those around single women. She is single, childfree and lives in New Orleans.
Topics that we cover are:
- why Shani decided to bring her podcast to an end;
- how she doesn’t know what’s coming next and is excited about the not knowing;
- why podcasts shouldn’t be forever;
- her thoughts on the world of online dating;
- how being happily single and wanting a relationship can co-exist;
- how good Shani’s life got when she stopped the chase for a relationship;
- how she absolutely wants a partner, and is looking forward to experiencing it as her older self;
- why finding a partner is not going to fix your life;
- why we need to find happiness within ourselves;
- why we need to be aware of getting stuck in an endless loop of self-development;
- how gratitude was the cause of the biggest boost in Shani’s happiness;
- the stories we’ve been fed that have taught us to feel shame around being single;
- why singlehood being women’s biggest fear is something that deeply worries Shani;
- how women who are convinced they can’t be happy without a partner will not be able to hear Shani’s message until they’re ready;
- Shani’s thoughts on any future relationships;
- why our relationship, or lack thereof, has nothing to do with us;
- why we can always choose to reframe our singlehood.
