You’ll learn:

•Why the decision to have children feels harder when you’re single

•How to separate societal expectations from personal desire

•Practical tools to uncover your true feelings about parenthood

•Why clarity brings freedom, whether the answer is yes, no, or maybe

•How to embrace your choice and live authentically


If you’re a single person wrestling with the question of children, this episode will help you find clarity, compassion, and confidence in making the decision that’s right for you.

Bree is joined by Anna Goldfarb, friendship journalist, and Demi Kotsoris, founder of Millennial Crisis, to unpack the art of making new friends in adulthood. Together, they explore how to build authentic connections, overcome loneliness, and create the kind of social circles that make single life richer and more fulfilling.

•Why making friends as an adult feels harder than it did in school or university

•Practical strategies for meeting new people and turning acquaintances into real friends

•How to nurture deeper, more meaningful connections

•Why friendships are essential for single people’s happiness and wellbeing

•Where to actually meet new friends


If you’ve ever felt like you need more quality friendships in your life, this episode will give you the tools and confidence to go out and create them.
