Forever Alone

I truly loved this series- everything about it- the masterpiece theater vibe of the music, the poetic way Rachel writes and recites each one, AND the content. I absolutely loved her honesty and her description of her journey through all the lessons she learned, how she pushed through fear, major anxiety and depression. I absolutely LOVED the idea of creating your own panel of healthy-masculine men and asking them advice! And the advice she was given that struck me- that perhaps she hadn’t been truly ready all that time- wow. I teared up a little during the inner child healing part and was inspired enough to pause the episode to do a little healing of my own inner child. I found myself completely nodding in agreement about how to be discerning, that “Italy” was a bit a of a numbskull answer, and what “I want someone who’s chill but also down for an adventure” truly translates to (insert huge eyeroll). It also gave me major validation that I am allowed to want what I want, and that dating apps don’t HAVE to be used. You are a strong, inspiring soul, Rachel! Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Loved this whole series! Excited for season 2!

I binged listened to all the episodes today and I love it!! Dating is challenging (even at 57) but you never know when you’re going to meet someone. I believe it helps to have the right energy and always be open to the unexpected 🫶🏽

Rachel East of Forever Alone! I binged through all the chapters and must find out what happens next. Rachel’s storytelling, music selection, impersonations, and wisdom bomb dropping every 3 minutes is seriously what creativity looks like when it shows up in a podcast. Her wit, humor, and insights are such a wonderful gift - its a must listen to and must share with anyone you care about because it is so relatable on so many levels. I’m here for season 2!

…I still really enjoyed this podcast. Full disclosure, Rachel was my Clarity on Fire coach, and I found out about this podcast by listening to the Clarity on Fire podcast (which I also recommend!). Rachel is introspective, entertaining, and authentic, and the humorous, upbeat undertones of what could be a depressing topic actually are quite Jane Austen-like. I would love to read Rachel’s story as a book, too, and I can’t wait to hear the rest of the story.
