Just because you’re single doesn’t mean you’re lonely… but we know being single makes you more likely to experience loneliness, which can lead to all kinds of knock on effects to your mental health.

But I’m here to share with you the real reason you’re feeling lonely, something I discovered during my own personal development journey of finding myself again and understanding what loneliness really was so I could tackle it head on. ----- RESOURCES: - Download my FREE Dating Non-Negotiables Guide - Join the FREE Facebook Group - Visit my website: www.chantellethecoach.com - Follow me on Instagram: @ChantelleTheCoach - Follow me on TikTok: @ChantelleTheCoach And if you loved this episode, HIT SUBSCRIBE to stay up to date for your weekly dose of The Single Spark. life coaching for singles, how to be okay on you're own, overcoming loneliness, how to stop feeling lonely, single women, divorced in your 20s ----- DISCLAIMER: The podcast and content posted by Chantelle The Coach is presented solely for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes.

Taken from the inspiration of Episode 4, I share a moment I experienced in my personal development journey, when I started to question everything around me. And one of the things I had to look back at in my past, to work out where I got this skewed understanding of it from, and actually find out what it really meant was “what is love?”. So today, I’ll share with you the theory from Sternberg that changed my understanding and allowed me to apply it to my friendships and relationships, so I could get to the bottom of what love really was - instead of having the Disney princess version of love as the blueprint. ----- RESOURCES: - Download my FREE Dating Non-Negotiables Guide - Join the FREE Facebook Group - Visit my website: www.chantellethecoach.com - Follow me on Instagram: @ChantelleTheCoach - Follow me on TikTok: @ChantelleTheCoach And if you loved this episode, HIT SUBSCRIBE to stay up to date for your weekly dose of The Single Spark. life coaching for singles, how to be okay on you're own, overcoming loneliness, how to stop feeling lonely, single women, divorced in your 20s ----- DISCLAIMER: The podcast and content posted by Chantelle The Coach is presented solely for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes.

Welcome to the BRAND NEW episode of the new era of this podcast, The Single Spark. We say goodbye to The Single Girl's Guide to Life to welcome in a fresh era the The Single Spark. Don't worry - it doesn't mean we're entirely changing. This is still the podcast for singles, but this time we're in our 30s - Chantelle turned 31 this very week and life in your 30s is very different to being in your 20s, and even more so when you're single. And to kickstart this new series, we're looking at helping you get your spark back after going through the end of a relationshop. After a break-up, your life is completely turned upside down. You're moving house, leaving behind a life you thought was going to be your future, and you're single - something you weren't expecting to happen as you started to settle down and plan what your life was going to look like. And it isn't just the practicalities of your life. With the loss of the relationship and the person you spent so much time with, you lose a little part of yourself too. And this episode is there for you to get that you, that spark back again. ------ REFERENCES: Ep 19: How to Get Over A Break Up ----- RESOURCES: - Download my FREE Dating Non-Negotiables Guide - Join the FREE Facebook Group - Visit my website: www.chantellethecoach.com - Follow me on Instagram: @ChantelleTheCoach - Follow me on TikTok: @ChantelleTheCoach And if you loved this episode, HIT SUBSCRIBE to stay up to date for your weekly dose of The Single Spark. life coaching for singles, how to be okay on you're own, overcoming loneliness, how to stop feeling lonely, single women, divorced in your 20s ----- DISCLAIMER: The podcast and content posted by Chantelle The Coach is presented solely for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes.

Marriage is seen as the ultimate expression of love, the biggest commitment you can make to another and the desire and hope that it will last forever. As someone that's been married and divorced in their 20s, and experienced my own parents getting divorced as a child, marriage has been an interesting subject to explore, and the more I've explored and experienced, the more I've felt it necessary to share some of the realities of what marriage means in today's day and age. From personal experience, to looking at the stats, marriage needs to be a well-informed decision as opposed to the assumed trajectory of life. It doesn't guarantee you happiness, and it isn't always the answer to a fulfilling life, and it certainly isn't the only way to be happy and at ease with your life. Listen in to hear about the perspectives on marriage to consider for if and when the questions comes. *DISCLAIMER - The information provided in this podcast is for information purposes only based on my own experiences and research.

Back when I first started dating, I had to learn ALL the basics. No matter how much dating content you consume, some of the lessons you learn ahead of time can't easily be applied in the moment. There's how you feel, all the "what if"s and you're dealing with the unpredicatbility of another person you don't really know. And as I soon learnt, dealing with not getting a reply in dating is one of the trickiest to balance - you don't want to look needy but you want a reply. You don't want to be left on read but what if something's genuinely happened to them. There's no exact right or wrong here, but two years on, I've come to my conclusions about how to deal with being left on read and not getting a reply in dating.

Theories of attachment styles have been around for decades, originally being developed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth in the 1950's. They were originally based on the idea that we develop attachment styles based on our early childhood experiences with our caregivers. But what if it's not just about our early childhood? What if there are other origins for our attachment styles? In this video, I talk about the alternative factors that contribute to the development of attachment styles, which might give you the answer to why you've got an insecure attachment style even if your childhood upbringing was absolutely fine!
