Well Enough Alone - A Guide To Thriving Solo6 Apr 2025

Cindy Gallop: I’m unmarried, no kids, dating younger men casually for sex, and I’m blissfully ecstatic.

This week’s guest is the very definition of thriving solo. Cindy Gallop is a trailblazer for single, child-free living. She’s torn up the rule book, rejected outdated societal expectations, and actively celebrates her solo life.

She’s also someone who is open about the fun she’s having as an older woman dating younger men casually for sex – a trend she says is the relationship model of the future.

In this episode, she talks to Jill about why she loves being unmarried and child-free and the liberation she finds in her own company.

An entrepreneur and a social disruptor, Cindy describes herself as the ‘Michael Bay of business’ because she likes to blow things up.

As the founder and CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn, Cindy’s visionary reimagining of the porn industry has challenged misogynistic and unrealistic depictions of sex.

It’s a movement that promotes healthy, consensual and authentic sexual behaviour that empowers women and prioritises connection and open communication.

Cindy also talks about her unique perspective on ageing and loving her body, and how she’s living life unapologetically on her own terms.
