Are you struggling with feeling lonely during this season of quarantine?

Now for today, we brought on someone who is truly thriving as a single woman in her 30’s… the amazing Carrie Lloyd!

Carrie Lloyd is an author, speaker, pastor at Bethel Church, and a coach. She originally worked in film and TV advertising in the UK and then went on to become a journalist for British national magazines where she found herself writing about love and relationships.

Today, Carrie pastors people of all ages, guiding them through marriage, singleness, writing and destiny dreaming in Northern California! She is also a podcast host of the The Carrie On Podcast (go on over after listening to this episode!). Her books on dating and sexual ethics: Prude and The Virgin Monologues are PHENOMENAL and you guys should go check them out on amazon.

Today the ladies talk about all things singleness! Carrie shares her heart and journey of finding freedom and HOPE in her singleness life, as well as how she has learned to be 38 and single and LOVE the journey. She is living a life of vibrancy and fullness, and has found ways to truly combat things such as comparison and loneliness.

Some themes of today’s conversation:
-Actually feeling some of the pain of dating will help bring WISDOM into your life.
-Have dreams that are beyond just getting married and having children. How to dream beyond just your love life!
-How to work on exercising the muscles of the things you believe you are called to.
-Love and care on other people to combat loneliness.
-Do things that make you come alive!
-What could it really be like when it is just YOU and God?
-How to learn about who you are and why you do what you do.

Friends this conversation is encouraging and super helpful for your season of singleness. Self LOVE in singleness is so vital and possible. You can learn to love this season wholeheartedly!

PS. Right now more than ever we are inundated with extreme changes that could be causing levels of confusion, grief, and even fear and anxiety.

Something that has greatly helped our host, Kait, has been being able to talk with someone who can truly help her sort through and calm these elements down. For her that looks like going to therapy, specifically Faithful Counseling.
