Sis, let’s talk about it.
Singleness as a Christian woman? It’s a trip. One day, you’re out here thriving—romanticizing solo dates, deepening your faith, stretching out in bed like a starfish. The next? Another engagement post. Another “So, when are you getting married?” Another wedding invite where you’re deciding between RSVPing solo or inventing an imaginary plus-one.
And suddenly, you’re side-eyeing heaven like… God, what’s up??
I used to treat singleness like a waiting room—like a season to end as soon as possible. But what if we’re missing the beauty of it? What if this isn’t just a season to get through—but a season to actually live in?
In this episode, we’re having the realest conversation about:
- The unspoken pressure to be "marriage-ready" (and where that even comes from).
- The wild unsolicited advice (Sis, where exactly am I ‘putting myself out there’??)
- The body standards & weight loss pressure (Because apparently, love is only for size 2s? Girl, bye.)
- The prayer that changed everything about how I see my future husband.
- How I’m learning to fully live in my single season instead of waiting for it to be over.
Because listen—marriage will add to your life, but it won’t complete it. And your life? It’s already full of purpose, right now.
