How to be alone
There's a big difference between being lonely and choosing to be alone. Two years ago, I left my husband, packed up my belongings and travelled around the US on a bright pink bus. I met hundreds of women who felt lonely - even in their relationships.

This week I'm joined by Donna Easton, a joyologist, Yasmine Camille, is a business strategist and single mum.
