12. Singlehood and Self-Discovery With Elyse Herman

By Chance Avenue - Sacred Conversations Around Being Childless, by Chance

In this episode, we chat with Elyse, a single woman navigating life without children or a partner. We discuss societal expectations, personal reflections, and the emotional journey of accepting one's path. Elise shares her experiences with therapy, coping mechanisms, and the importance of communication. She also emphasizes the significance of community and support systems while celebrating her fulfilling life filled with hobbies, career success, and plans to rescue animals. This conversation sheds light on the complexities and beauty of living a life different from societal norms, offering inspiration and validation to listeners.

Elyse is a licensed architect and project manager at a community-driven design firm in Houston, TX. In her free time, she loves all her hobbies. She is currently in the sewing era and making an 18th-century court gown out of her high school curtains.

She is 37 years old, has never been in a relationship longer than 1.5 years (not for lack of trying), and is a proud dog mom to two furry rescue gremlins. She is fiercely independent but dreams of finding someone to share the burdens/joys of life with someday, but I have had to pivot my expectations and plans (as life tends to trash those). For the past two years, she has been on a journey of self-discovery and can honestly say she is happier than ever, but she is still hopeful and curious about the future.
