Ep.06 The Chat Room: 'Me-ology Theology: Does Being Single Make Us Too Me-Focussed?'

Today I'm going into The Chat Room where women from around the world join me in my virtual studio to discuss the topic of the week. The conversations are really eye-opening and we usually uncover nuggets to help us all live this single life like a boss.

Episode Summary

Today Debbie-Ann and Marc-Anne join me in the Chat Room. Debbie-Ann is a great believer in using your singleness to focus on yourself while Marc-Anne, who agrees, says women should also focus on readying themselves for marriage because otherwise they become too me-focused. It was a really interesting  discussion and as we deep dived, we discovered that there are some things that we do as women that may be a turn off to men. Things that we take for granted, which we may need to begin to do differently.
