Hello, and welcome to episode 8 of Me, Myself and Isla – Lifting the Lid on Loneliness. After another break, because life gets in the way sometimes, I’m so happy to be back doing my favourite thing, talking to people, listening to their stories, and then sharing them in case they help other people.

We’re kicking off, what I guess is a new season, with the wonderful Suz Bird, who I have known for a long time now. We’ve been trying to set this chat up for over a year now, and I’m so glad we got there in the end.

Suz has been running her own business for almost 10 years, and in this chat shares her experiences of self employed life, including building your own community and the pitfalls of comparison and social media

She also gives us an insight into the importance of her solo dates, solo networking, and her strong belief we are all just figuring out life as best we can

There’s even some strategy tips for online dating for those looking for love!

I enjoyed this refreshing, insightful and fun chat with Suz, and I really think you will too.
