In this episode of Live OUT Loud, Michele + River explore the power of solo dates, and why taking yourself out, treating yourself, and enjoying your own company is just as important when you’re single as it is when you’re in a relationship. We’ll talk about how carving out intentional time for yourself can spark creativity, deepen self-love, and actually strengthen your relationships with others. Whether it’s a quiet coffee shop morning, a dinner for one, or a spontaneous adventure, solo dates remind us that our own company is not just enough—it’s essential. Tune in for inspiration, ideas, and a reminder that your soul deserves your attention.   Found this solo date article. Hope you enjoy.  "I’ve discovered that going on a solo date can be beneficial for anyone. Dr Natalie V Bailey, a psychologist based in London, agrees that spending quality time alone can be a valuable tool in our mental health kit. “Solo dating is all about self-love, self-discovery, growth, and empowerment,” she says. “It’s an invitation; a time to discover more about yourself without the noise and the influence of others.”   Thanks for listening!
