My Last Year of Single List: the 5 goals I set myself (and the 2 I'm keeping secret)

My Last Year of Single List: the 5 goals I set myself (and the 2 I'm keeping secret)

If you have been listening to Last Year of Single from the beginning, you know I have been talking about the Last Year of Single List since the very first episode. The idea is simple: if you knew in twelve months you would never be single again, how would you spend your time? What would you do that you have been waiting to do with someone else?


In this episode, I am finally revealing five of the things on my own list: what they are, why I chose them, and what success actually looks like to me for each one. I am keeping two items secret for now. But five is enough to be going on with.


Here is what made the list:

  • Writing a book.
  • Being in a Bollywood film.
  • Watching an entire Bollywood film without subtitles and actually understanding it.
  • Learning what a healthy and trustworthy romantic relationship is supposed to feel like and what that even means for someone who has never quite experienced it.
  • And becoming financially secure, not rich, not retired, just genuinely, solidly secure.


For the relationship goal, I play a clip from my episode with Ann Davidman, a counsellor and author who specialises in helping people understand what they actually want from love and relationships. For the financial security goal, I play a clip from my episode with Glen James, creator of the Money Money Money podcast, formerly My Millennial Money, and one of Australia's most trusted voices on personal finance.


I also want to hear what is on your list. Email me, DM me on Instagram, or come and talk about it in the Last Year of Single Facebook community. And if you have not written your list yet, Episode 10 is where I explain exactly how to do it.


The Last Year of Single List is not about being productive while you wait for life to start. It is about deciding what your life is and living it. Whatever happens next.
