Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now? That's a good question! It's also the title of the Vogue piece by journalist Chanté Joseph, and in this episode Jodi sits down with Chanté to discuss why singlehood is having a cultural moment. They dig into the cultural and economic pressures that push women into partnerships, how to embrace singlehood, and the importance of a dating plan. Chanté also opens up about her personal experience with ADHD and intensity in relationships, which led her to Journals of a Love Addict and the work of Pia Mellody.
