I’m the host of A Single Serving Podcast and the author of A Single Revolution. I’m changing the narrative around being single, because so far it’s had pretty bad PR. I’m not an advocate for singlehood. I’m an advocate for women feeling good while single—there’s a difference.

“Shani makes me look at being single in a completely different light. After listening to the first episode I was hooked. I feel empowered and appreciative of my single life now, instead of sad and embarrassed. Every time I finish an episode I send it to one of my single girlfriends, saying “no this was the best one, you’ve got to listen!” Thank you for switching the narrative on single life and helping me feel less alone, Shani.”
“When I discovered your podcast, my whole perspective on my life had changed. I loved how you had so many different guests on your podcasts and showcased people that were single and just going about their lives and able to talk honestly about their single status. As someone who really wants a relationship, your podcasts made me feel so a lot better about myself and my situation. I've learned to look at life in a different way and not wait for a partner to come around to do the things I want. I'm currently planning my first solo trip and looking into adopting a new exotic pet. I'm also not feeling as ashamed anymore whenever the topic of dating/relationship comes up. I feel like a brand new person.”
“Thanks for being a strong voice for 30+ single people. I've actually shared your articles with my parents who are doing their best to understand the new world of dating (but got married at 20/21 so it's just never going to happen.) So they say thank you too.”
“I'm a single woman living in Denmark, 32 years old. I just had to write you a little message saying how much you've inspired me! You've put into words and actions many of the thoughts I've had about single life. How it's so important to not just be living it as if in a permanent state of waiting, always chasing after a relationship.”
“Thank you so much for articulating and promoting another way of seeing and living single life. What you're doing is so important as an antidote to all the messages we constantly recieve saying that being single is a little bit sad and a little bit 'not enough'. YOU ROCK”
“Hi! I just wanted to write to you to share this! You’ve really had an impact on my life. I’m 42 and very single and before your podcast I found my way to being happy with my single life and the perks it gives me but I never got to a point where I felt I had hope for a relationship. You’re helping me change my hopeless mindset. ”
“Thank you so much for putting all the work out there that you do! I actually need to message you from my "equestrian" Instagram so you can see part of what your work has helped me build in my life. I rode a lot growing up and always wanted to compete in jumping but my parents were against it. Last year I got the courage to go back to it and finally give it my all and I've accomplished so much already and it's been such a joy in my life as I'm dealing with the purge of friendships and bad dating. Your podcast helped give me the courage to change my life and really do something I'm passionate about.”
“You are reaching an audience that has needed you!”
“A Single Serving Podcast has really encouraged me to continue to be a go-getter and strive for what I believe to be important in life. I just really wanted to say thank you and that you are ridiculously brilliant! I've actually never emailed anyone I don't know before either, unless I was applying for a new job so thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone.”
“I've been single my entire life, not for lack of trying to find a partner, and have never felt that anyone really gets how I've been feeling about it until I started reading your articles. I sent your first article to the therapist I've started seeing to try to deal with the feelings of shame and hopelessness and wrongness that I've been feeling for years and told her, "This is how I want to feel." I've never really believed that I could get there until I found your posts.”
“I have been a subscriber from the beginning. No idea how I found you - and I simply want to say thank you! What you are creating is the feeling of empowerment and community for women who often don't feel seen, heard and validated. As a woman who has traveled her own journey accepting my life and all of it's glory as it is... I appreciate the your voice, your honesty, your vulnerability... all of it. Thank you!”
