My guest on this week’s episode is the brilliant Eli Davies, a writer and researcher who is both single and childfree.

Topics that we cover are:

• how the break up of Eli’s long term relationship led to her becoming fascinated with the significance of home;
• the aftermath of the breakup and what that looked like for Eli at the age of 37;
• her move from London to Belfast for her PhD;
• her fabulous 40th birthday celebrations;
• her intense and lonely experience of being alone in lockdown in Belfast;
• how the achievements of singles can be overshadowed by others getting married or having babies;
• the importance of elevating other kinds of relationships;
• how Eli feels about being single these days;
• how she craves a community of friends who live close by;
• how being single means you can sometimes be excluded from things;
• why she doesn’t like the word ‘single’;
• how Eli would rather meet someone in the real world than on an app;
• why she never wants to live with a partner again;
• how Eli has always been a bit unconventional;
• engagements, weddings, and social media;
• why solo travel is one of the greatest gifts Eli has ever given herself;
• the ‘moment’ in Vietnam when she realised she loved travelling alone;
• Eli’s upcoming book;
• why being single isn’t an absence.
