Rochelle Webb Is The Only One Who Finds Power In Being Self-Partnered Episode 46

Imagine growing up in a culture where from the time you were born, there was a playbook as to how your life should look. You go to school, get your college degree, get married and then have at least two kids, in that order.

Rochelle Webb, faculty member at Loyola Marymount University and founder of Optimist Made, a cause-inspired e-tailer, realized in her thirties that she had attended over 100 weddings and was starting to become the focus of her friends and family who often wondered out loud, “Why are you still single?”

So what would you do if society demanded that it was “time” for you to find a man, but you weren’t interested partnering up with someone simply so that you wouldn’t be alone? Would you take suggestions from well-meaning friends and use dating apps and matchmakers to find your ideal mate? Or would you empower yourself with the realization that you were fine on your own.
