What does it really feel like to approach 40 as a single woman?

In this special episode, I sit down with my lovely friend Faith, who recently celebrated her 40th birthday, to have an open and honest conversation about what it really feels like to approach 40 as a single woman. While she was initially approaching the milestone with pure joy, external questions from society about finding a partner, settling down, and starting a family began to stir an internal sense of unrest and unfulfilled dreams.

Together, we discuss the unique challenges of restarting a career after moving across continents to Australia, the cultural pressures of being single in the Philippines versus Nigeria, and the difficulty of giving yourself grace when you feel behind. Faith shares beautiful, wisdom-filled nuggets on maximizing singleness as a fleeting gift, the power of shifting your perspective from the world's timeline to God's perfect timing, and the importance of surrounding yourself with a community that pulls you up. Whether you are approaching 30, 40, or 50, we hope this conversation empowers you to embrace your unique path!
