A few days ago, I was looking for new podcasts. I found lots of great options... for new moms, for new wives, for teenage girls... none of which apply to me. I got to wondering why there is so little good information out there for women my age on how to be good women. I don't know the answer to that, but I figured that I could add something to the space.
There are so many topics that people struggle with in life that are made even more difficult or confusing if you are a full-fledged adult and still single. Things like how do you handle money? What should your schedule look like? How transparent should you be? What do you do when you have serious struggles - how do you handle them? How do you take care of your health? How do you take care of yourself? What should you be really intentional about, and what can be put on the back burner? What do you say yes to and what do you say no to? How do you take care of home when you're the only one responsible for it? How do you deal with the inevitable loneliness? What kind of leisure do you prioritize? How do you plan for the future when you don't know what your future might look like? What kind of relationships do you prioritize? What about your faith? What about your social life? How do you establish routines? How do you actually cook for one person? How do you reconcile your family's expectations that you might not be meeting? Is it okay to still have a roommate? What do you do when all of your friends are getting married or having babies - how can you reconcile being happy for them and a touch disappointed, too? What do you do when you have to make really big decisions? How do you handle being responsible for it all?
I'm going to be occasionally digging into these issues on this space.
