    Why January is for Rest, Not Resolutions

    January doesn’t have to be all about future goals and resolutions, especially when it’s cold and dreary outside. I'm all about taking a chill pill during this month and enjoying the present rather than stressing over what I should be doing. This episode, we dive into the idea that it's perfectly okay to slow down and just cozy up indoors instead of feeling the pressure to hustle. I mean, who wants to hit the gym when you can binge-watch your favorite shows under a blanket? Plus, I’ll share some personal insights on why I ditched New Year's resolutions ages ago and how listening to my body has become my go-to mantra. So grab that electric blanket and join me as we explore how to make January a month of relaxation and self-care instead of a race to the finish line! Suggestions on how to improve this podcast?

But is that really necessary? This episode dives into the tangled emotions of January, a month that often feels like a pit stop between the holiday chaos and the impending February love frenzy. We chat about the pressures of New Year's resolutions that most of us break before the month’s even out. I mean, let’s be real, who’s really up for a gym membership when it’s freezing outside? Not this gal! Instead of racing into the new year, I propose we take a step back, cozy up, and just... be. We discuss how listening to our bodies and embracing a slower pace can be more beneficial than frantically chasing after societal expectations. So grab your fuzzy socks and a warm drink as we explore how January can be a month of rest and reflection rather than hustle and bustle. After all, who says we can’t snuggle into our blankets and binge our favorite shows instead of hitting the gym?

Subscribe to my channel https://www.youtube.com/@AllAboutBeingSingle. Being single is not just a status — it can be a superpower! In this episode, I dive into some eye-opening revelations from my past year about embracing the single life. I’ve learned that this time alone is a golden opportunity for self-reflection, personal growth, and pursuing dreams without waiting for a partner to tag along. We chat about the unique challenges single folks face, like the awkwardness of coupled people flirting — seriously, what’s up with that? Plus, I share how staying busy with hobbies and connecting with other singles has transformed my experience, proving that sometimes, being alone doesn’t have to feel lonely at all. So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let’s explore the beauty of being single together! Throughout the past year, I’ve come to a few eye-opening realizations about being single, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. First off, I’ve discovered that being single is my superpower. Seriously! Most folks are so wrapped up in their relationships that they don’t take the time to really reflect on who they are or what they want. I mean, think about it: how often do we hear people saying they wish they’d traveled more before settling down? Well, I’m out there living my best solo life, and I love it! I’ve been on some amazing trips, just me and my thoughts (and maybe a good book or two). These experiences are mine alone, and I'm proud of that. It’s all about embracing the freedom that comes with being single—like being able to binge-watch my favorite shows without having to compromise on what to watch! Another revelation was about the dreams I've been putting on hold, waiting for the ideal partner to come along. My therapist helped me realize that this waiting game could go on indefinitely, and I can’t let that happen. Why should I postpone my life for someone else? It’s not like I’m holding off on my goals until I have a partner to share them with. I’ve got to take the reins and pursue my passions now. Whether it’s starting that side hustle or taking that cooking class, it’s time to dive in headfirst. And let’s be real, I've got dreams that are too big to be shelved just because I’m single. Lastly, I touched upon the curious phenomenon of coupled folks flirting with singles like it’s some sort of sport. It’s wild! Sometimes it feels like an ego boost for them, but for us? It’s a reminder of what we might be missing or what we could have. I mean, who wants to date someone who’s already flirting with others? Not me! It can make the whole dating scene feel even more daunting. But here’s the silver lining: surrounding myself with my single friends and engaging in fun activities helps ease that loneliness. Whether it’s starting a walking club or just hanging out, it’s all about creating a supportive community of fellow singles. Because at the end of the day, we all just want to know we're not alone in this journey. So join me as I navigate this crazy single life, sharing laughs, insights, and maybe a few cringe-worthy stories along the way. Takeaways: Being single is like having a superpower that allows for deep self-reflection and growth, which many miss out on.We shouldn't put our dreams on hold waiting for a partner that may never come along.span class="ql-ui"...

Feeling lonely during the holidays? You’re definitely not alone, and that’s the vibe we’re diving into today. As we chat about the holiday season, we’ll explore how this time of year can crank up feelings of loneliness, especially for us singles. From the endless couple-centric events to the chilling cold that keeps us indoors, it’s easy to feel left out while others seem to be coupled up and cozy. I’ll share my own thoughts on how seeing friends and family enjoying their lives can sometimes hit harder than that last slice of fruitcake. So, grab a warm drink, get comfy, and let’s talk about how we can acknowledge these feelings and take care of ourselves during this festive yet sometimes tough time of year. Takeaways: The holiday season often amplifies feelings of loneliness, especially for those who are single. Being surrounded by couples during the holidays can make singles feel more isolated and reflect on what they lack. It's completely normal to feel jealous of others' relationships during the festive season, and acknowledging those feelings is important. Finding ways to treat ourselves during the holidays can help mitigate feelings of loneliness and create new traditions. The holiday season can often feel like a double-edged sword for singles, especially when Christmas rolls around. In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster that many of us experience during December, a time that is supposed to be merry and bright but can often amplify feelings of loneliness. We chat about how the holidays can bring out a yearning for connection, especially when surrounded by couples and families celebrating together. Our host shares personal anecdotes, like the time her walking club opted for a cozy cafe meet-up instead of braving the freezing Chicago weather, highlighting the isolation that can come from winter months when social outings dwindle. We also discuss the societal pressures that come with the season, from engagement announcements flooding social media to the subtle reminders of what we might be missing in our lives. Ultimately, we acknowledge that it’s not just about being alone; it’s about the longing for a partner to share these moments with, making the holiday loneliness all the more poignant. As we navigate through these feelings, the conversation shifts to practical advice on how to cope with the holiday blues. We explore some light-hearted strategies to treat ourselves during this time, like scheduling moments to feel sad, creating new personal traditions, or even taking ourselves out for a festive meal. The host encourages listeners to embrace their loneliness, suggesting that acknowledging these feelings is the first step toward overcoming them. It’s a reminder that even when the world seems to be celebrating with loved ones, it’s perfectly okay to feel a bit out of place. We also touch on the importance of self-care, emphasizing how essential it is to find joy in our own company, even when the holiday season feels especially tough. In wrapping up, we leave listeners with a note to self, encouraging reflection on how to treat oneself kindly during the holiday season. The conversation is not just about coping with loneliness but also about finding ways to celebrate ourselves amidst the hustle and bustle. Whether it’s through creating new traditions, enjoying the beauty of winter, or simply allowing ourselves a moment to grieve what we may not have, this episode serves as a comforting companion for anyone navigating the complexities of being single during the holidays.

    The Solo Struggle: Why Single People Pay More with the Singles Tax

    Links referenced in this episode: allaboutbeingsingle.comallaboutbeingsingle@gmail.com Today, we're diving into the not-so-glamorous reality of what I like to call the "singles tax." Yep, that's right! Being single often comes with a financial penalty, and we're here to unpack just how much that tax really affects our wallets. From housing costs and insurance rates to those pesky grocery bills that seem designed for a family of five, living solo can feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders—or at least all your bills! I’ve been flying solo for a while now, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride trying to balance saving for the future while still treating myself to the occasional Netflix binge or solo vacation. So grab your favorite snack, get comfy, and let’s chat about the financial quirks of being single and how we can navigate this quirky, coupled-up world! When we dive into the nitty-gritty of being single and managing finances, it’s like peeling an onion—there are layers, and oh boy, do we shed some tears! This episode tackles the concept of the 'singles tax,' which is basically the extra financial burden we single folks face in a world that often feels designed for couples. I mean, let’s be real—when was the last time you splurged on a fancy dinner out, only to realize that you’re footing the whole bill while your coupled friends are sharing the costs like a well-oiled money-saving machine? We break down the harsh realities of living solo, from skyrocketing rent and mortgage payments to the insidious costs of utilities that don’t seem to care if you’re living with a partner or not. And while we’re at it, let’s not forget the grocery bill—ever tried buying a family pack of chicken when it’s just you? Spoiler alert: it rarely ends well! Throughout the episode, I share my personal journey navigating these financial hurdles, from how I manage my student loans all on my lonesome to the unique challenges of planning a vacation solo. We even touch on the emotional toll it takes to be the only one responsible for everything from emergency repairs to social outings. The goal? To shed light on this often-overlooked aspect of single life and to spark some conversation about how we can support each other. So, if you’ve ever felt the weight of financial isolation, grab a cup of coffee and join me for this chat—you’re definitely not alone! In the end, I encourage you to reflect on your own experiences with the singles tax. Whether you’ve felt the pinch of unexpected expenses or just want to share a funny story about your grocery mishaps, we’re eager to hear from you. Let’s lift each other up and find ways to make single life a little less taxing! Takeaways: The singles tax is the financial penalty single folks face in a coupled-up world, impacting everything from rent to groceries. Living alone often means footing the entire bill for housing, utilities, and insurance, unlike those who share costs with a partner. For singles, unexpected expenses hit harder, as there's no second income to help cushion the blow when life throws curveballs. Social outings can be tricky for singles who may not have the same financial flexibility as their coupled friends, leading to creative solutions. The struggle to save for retirement is real for singles, especially when juggling daily expenses and the singles tax. Many singles feel pressured to maintain a social life while managing their finances, often leading to tough choices between fun and savings.

    How to Deal with the Silence of Living Alone: Why Pets Make Single Living Less Lonely

    Ever felt that eerie quietness in your home? Well, that’s exactly what we’re diving into today! In this episode, I’m chatting about the loneliness that can creep in when you’re living solo, especially during those quiet evenings when the only sound is the refrigerator humming away. We’ll talk about how having a pet, like my beloved cat Trouble can fill that silence with warmth and companionship. I’ll share how pets not only bring a bit of chaos to our lives but also help us feel seen and loved, even on our toughest days. So grab a comfy spot and let’s explore how our furry friends transform our homes from quiet boxes into lively spaces filled with love! Life as a singleton can often feel like a tightrope walk between independence and the occasional pang of loneliness, especially when the house settles into that eerie silence. Wioleta, our witty host, dives into the complexities of living solo, revealing how the quiet can sometimes echo louder than the chatter of a busy household. Have you ever walked into your home after a long day, only to be met with absolute stillness? It’s in those moments that the longing for companionship can hit the hardest. Wioleta shares her own experiences, including her daily chats with her vocal cat, Trouble, who may not have much to say but certainly fills the space with his presence. From the absence of a partner to the comforting chaos that pets bring, she highlights how pets are not just adorable companions but vital emotional outlets that help us navigate the often lonely evenings. She emphasizes that pets offer a unique warmth and routine, transforming empty spaces into lively corners filled with love and affection. Takeaways: Living alone can sometimes feel overwhelmingly quiet, especially during the evenings when loneliness tends to hit the hardest. Having a pet can significantly enhance the experience of living solo, adding warmth and companionship to an otherwise quiet home. Pets not only fill the silence but also provide emotional support, helping to co-regulate feelings and reducing stress levels during lonely times. It's important to recognize that a family can be defined in many ways, including just you and your pet, creating a unique bond that offers love and connection.

    Keep It Simple, Single: How to Make Task Completion Easier for Busy Singles

    Ever feel like life’s just a little too complicated? Well, I’m here to tell you that keeping it simple might just be the secret sauce we're all searching for. In this episode, we dive into the idea that simplifying our routines can actually lead to a much better quality of life. I’ll share my own struggles with meal prep as a single person and how I turned it from a Sunday marathon into a quick grocery run followed by some smart shortcuts. From grabbing frozen veggies to picking up a rotisserie chicken, it's all about making life easier so we can save time and energy for the things we actually enjoy. So, if you’re ready to lighten your load and find some joy in simplicity, stick around and let’s get into it! Keeping it simple can lead to a more fulfilling single life, and that's what we dove into during our latest chat. I kicked things off by sharing how my perfectionist tendencies often lead me into the rabbit hole of overthinking, especially when it comes to meal prepping. You know the drill: spend hours on Sunday cooking, shopping, and trying to make everything just right—only to end up exhausted and not really enjoying any of it. So, I had this lightbulb moment: what if I just simplified things? Enter my new motto: 'Keep it simple, single.' Instead of dedicating my entire weekend to grocery shopping and meal prep, I started doing quick grocery runs right after my walking club. This approach not only saves me time but also cuts down on stress. I get my meals ready in under an hour, and trust me, my sanity is grateful for it! Takeaways: Keeping things simple can significantly reduce stress and make life easier for singles. Meal prepping doesn't have to consume your entire Sunday; quick grocery trips work wonders. Finding efficient ways to manage daily tasks can free up valuable time and energy. Simplifying your to-do list can increase productivity and lower morning anxiety for singles. Using pre-cooked meals and frozen veggies can save both time and money while eating healthy. It's all about finding what works best for you and simplifying routines to enhance overall well-being.
