Hashtag No Filter: Episode 45 | Shani Silver on Being a Single Woman in Her 30s, Shifts in Friendships, and Self Awareness

In episode 45, I chatted with Shani Silver of A Single Serving Podcast and Refinery 29’s Every Single Day.

We discussed how Shani is changing the way “single” is being viewed and the discussion around it, and providing content more than just “dating stuff”…more than dating apps and dating advice… so much more, via her writing and her podcast “A Single Serving Podcast.”

We talked about:
-being single
-the stigma around being single
-dating apps
-dating, in general
-the best way to meet someone
-self awareness
-having or not having kids
-being single when most of your friends aren’t
-the shift from friends who are single to relationships to having kids
-what others can do to keep friendship in tact even if married or have kids
-judgmental people
-asking out of curiosity vs. asking out of judgment
-unconventional jobs / schedules
-spinster vs. playboy
-therapy
-sweeping things under the rug
-one night stands

…and much more!

“Why am I trying to fix something and feeling stigma from the outside world, as well?”
“I was between a rock and a d*ck pic.”
“I wanted to stop hating my life..there are things to hate, but being single shouldn’t be one of them.”
“I want to leave being single better than when I found it.”
