About this listen

Solo & is for you who are navigating singleness, whether by choice or circumstance. A space for singles discovering how or where they are part of something bigger. A podcast for singles learning that being solo is part of their story, but not the whole story. Solo & is for the person who faces singleness and wonders if life can still be good

Solo & is for everyone. I believe there is deep wisdom in the life of a single person, especially those who have carried singleness longer than they expected. Differences in life experience can sometimes create gaps in understanding. I invite every listener in every season to learn from one another with humility, compassion, and grace.

Here you’ll find storytelling and honest conversations. As we hear stories from other solo travelers, may they remind us and build our confidence that, even though we may travel solo, we are not alone. Every story will be uniquely personal and shaped by purpose, beauty, and quiet courage.

    The Solo & Podcast is for those navigating singleness, whether by choice or by circumstance.

    It’s for anyone learning that “solo” may be part of your story, but it’s not the whole story.

    It’s for the single who wonders, Can life still be good?

    Whether you’re single, dating, or married, Solo & is for you too. Together, we’ll talk about deepening friendships, multiplying joy, and navigating the places where the road feels uncertain.

    I believe there’s a unique depth of wisdom in the life of a single person—especially in those who have carried singleness longer than they ever expected. Here, you’ll find honest conversations shaped by purpose, beauty, and quiet courage.

    Before I ask other people to share their stories, I want to start my own. I may be traveling solo, but I am not alone.
