Fear of being single and trying new things: how to stop playing it safe and actually start your Last Year of Single List

Fear of being single and trying new things: how to stop playing it safe and actually start your Last Year of Single List

You know exactly what you want to do with your single life. You just can't make yourself do it. Fear of being alone, of starting over after a breakup, of putting yourself out there and failing; is what keeps most single women stuck. This episode gives you the psychological tools to push through it.


The Psychology Sisters join Bree to unpack the specific fears that hold single women back from actually living their lives, and give you psychology-backed strategies to break through them. This episode is especially useful if you've started your Last Year of Single List and found it harder than expected to actually begin.


Bree shares her own experience of fear: the fear of staying in Melbourne, the fear of going to Mumbai, the fear of the hostel, the fear of coming home. And how fear and the right decision are sometimes the exact same thing.


In this episode you'll learn:

• Why fear shows up most powerfully exactly when you're on the edge of real change

• The specific fears that come up for newly single women after a breakup and how to name them

• How to sit with fear without letting it make your decisions for you

• Why the fear of being alone is different from the fear of being lonely

• Psychology-backed strategies for overcoming the fear of being single and starting over

• How to use your Last Year of Single List as a tool for building real courage
