Hi Tiffany,
I came across your website and podcasts for the first time today. I am thoroughly enjoying them! Listening to this episode and others has been extremely validating. As a therapist currently working 9-5pm at a hospital, this message provided hope.
One of the questions I have though is: How does one step out and off of the 9-5pm “hamster wheel” as a very single woman. In listening and speaking with other clinicians, it seems like many are married/partnered and are able to rely on their partner for health insurance and other financial support. Do you have any thoughts (or podcast episodes or articles) that speak to the issue of obtaining adequate health insurance & retirement funds as a single person? Thank you.
Not only do we have very single women, we have very single MOMS!
If they can do it, you can DEFINITELY do it. Keep listening and make sure you join our free FB group, so you can find other single women who are making shit happen. facebook.com/leaninmakebank
