    The Announcement Episode: I Did It

    The Announcement Episode: I Did It

    Bonus Episode!! In this very special episode recorded while evacuated from an actual hurricane, I am thrilled to share the news that I've been keeping to myself for months now.

    I WROTE A BOOK!

    A Single Revolution: Don't look for a match. Light one.

    Publishing THIS OCTOBER, A Single Revolution is all the support I've ever wanted to give the single community. It challenges every negative, false narrative about singlehood and replaces them with a complete reframing of how we're allowed and able to view and experience being single. It is not a book about dating. It is a book about living.

    Visit shanisilver.com to join my email list and be first to know when it goes on sale!

    Join my Patreon for access to a FULL READING of the book's introduction in an episode published September 6th, 2021 titled Shani's (Extremely) Special Announcement. You'll also have access to every podcast episode I've ever published, new episodes of the podcast every week, and access to the private Facebook group for Patrons only. For $5 per month, that's a steal. 

    Single women deserve a book that doesn’t assume we’re a negative. A Single Revolution doesn’t assume you’re unfinished, flawed, or doing something wrong in the dating space just because you’re single. If it makes any assumption, the book assumes you’re going to feel a LOT better by the time you’re done reading it.

    Poisoned Gruel

    Poisoned Gruel

    It’s a wild one! Things that happened in this episode featuring Lane Moore: a phone call from my movers saying they were FINALLY arriving later that day after being a month late, a dog cameo, and a very chatty UPS delivery man, and after all that we get into some good shit! Comedian, Creator of Tinder Live and author of How To Be Alone Lane Moore is one of my most-requested guests EVER, and I’m so thrilled she took time out of her tour schedule to chat with us about singlehood, online dating, attachment styles, and the things we have to learn from each other.

    Don't F*ck Up

    Don't F*ck Up

    In this very special episode of A Single Serving Podcast, I am joined by podcast listener Christine Po, a Dermatology Physician Assistant based in Atlanta, Georgia. Christine reached out as a listener and her email was one I wished I could have shared with you all—so I made it a podcast episode instead. This is for anyone who has ever felt entirely alone in never having been in a relationship before, anyone who's ever experienced racism in dating, and anyone who has ever felt like there was just simply something wrong with you for being single. The episode also begins with my own deep dive and reframe into expectations around our least favorite question: "How's dating going?"

    The Corporate Takeover Of Dating

    The Corporate Takeover Of Dating

    Nancy Jo Sales is a New York Times bestselling author and award winning journalist whose work you might know from The Bling Ring, American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers, or her documentary filme Swiped. Her newest book, Nothing Personal: My Secret Life in the Dating App Inferno addresses a topic very close to this community: Big Dating and the corporate takeover of our search for love. It’s not just you—maybe the gamification of dating is actually that bad. This episode hits home, hard.

    CW: This podcast episode includes a brief discussion of rape and sexual assault at the very beginning of the interview.

    Spreadsheets & Serendipity

    Spreadsheets & Serendipity

    Alex Kruger is a writer who recently published an essay with The New York Times’ Modern Love column.  What’s the “right” approach to dating? An organized and thoughtful effort, or a hands-off attitude that lets what will be, be? Or…are both Alex and Shani 100% right? This episode is FULL of explorations into modern singlehood, and all the little idiosyncrasies and anxieties that come with it. A must listen for anyone who feels like dating is happening to them, rather than the other way around, as well as anyone who feels a little out of control.

We need more of this!

In a world that has forever told me I am wrong in so many ways, Shani’s podcast is the exact opposite.
It is a life affirming space for single people to help realise their true potential.
Thank you for the work you do Shani!

GGE Fan! ,

Fantastic podcast!

I love this podcast! It’s so great to have content that talks about things other than dating. I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is my go to for helping me feel more positive and have a new perspective on single life! I also really like feeling connected with others who get how hard it is. Thanks so much for your work Shani! You’re podcast has truly changed how I feel about being single.

Spa date

Single Serving is like a spa date for one. You walk in battered, tired and Shani’s soothing words allow you to be vulnerable in only a towel with closed eyes and fumbled head nods. She scrubs away all you thought you knew and felt about being single, massaging in a holistic, buttery soft balm for your soul in such perfect sequence you absorb every part. The hot towel at the end is Shani holistically guiding you through thoughts you had and couldn’t articulate yet but feel so right and are all encompassing. If I could hug her all the way from Australia, for changing my life - I would. X
