What's it about?

Mindfulness & HappinessSex & Relationships

Contrary to what your family, couple friends, and even the media might tell you, singlehood can offer a happy and fulfilled life in all its glory. Let's face it: Most relationships aren't all they're cracked up to be and long-term commitment isn't for everyone or it might not be what you're looking for right now. So, bask in the joy and freedom of being single with these Blinks and Shortcast episodes. Go ahead, enjoy deeper dating, traveling the world with one less personal commitment, and begin investing time and energy on the things and people that matter most to you. If anyone asks, hey, you're just living your best and wildest life–on your terms!

Sonya Renee Taylor: Love Yourself
Sonya Renee Taylor: Love Yourself
We arrive in this world believing we're beautiful, able, and enough. And then, society seeps in. Through images, stories, movies, and cultural mores, we're taught that our bodies are wrong and that we'll always be just shy of perfect. This mindset leads to prejudice and injustice in surprising places, from political to personal. Sonya Renee Taylor, radical self love activist and poet, makes an urgent, elegant case for learning to give ourselves radical self love in order to make the world a better place.

Everything is Figureoutable: Marie Forleo
At some point in our life, we’ve all been asked this question: what do you want to be when you grow up? As we get older, the question intensifies: what do you want to do with your life? What kind of career do you want? We feel like we have to choose a single path or settle just to adhere to societal expectations, but bestselling author Marie Forleo teaches us that there’s a way to explore all of our interests without sacrificing clarity. In this episode, Marie teaches us how to embrace our identities as multi-passionate people, and free ourselves from other people's ideas of who we should be.
