Katagal ,

Truly a validation for single to solo folk

Listening to the variety of episodes and I’m having so many light bulb moments as I reflect on how I relate to the topic and the way folks have had the exact same perspectives as I have, so glad to know I’m not a weirdo because I have never been interested in marriage or children and there are so many more of us out there. Keep up the awesome work
