In Episode 2 of The Wisdom Channel™, I sat down with my friend Cassie Adams to talk about the relationships we choose, from friendships to romance, and the lessons they bring about self-worth, trust, and love.
On Singlehood
For me, one of the themes that came forward was singlehood. I’ve been single for a long time, and while that may sound unusual, it has been the healthiest and most aligned choice for me.
I want to clarify what that means: it’s not that I haven’t dated or been in relationships. I’ve had my share of romantic connections that seemed like they would lead somewhere. I’ve even been ‘faux-engaged’ twice; engaged without a ring. The truth is, most of those relationships were misaligned. The men weren’t “bad,” they just weren’t for me.
And so, I’ve learned that being single can sometimes be the easier, more empowered path. At times, I’ve longed for a partner, someone to share life with, someone who felt like a true match. When that didn’t happen, I realized I could either sink into self-doubt or choose to acknowledge the deeper truth: maybe it wasn’t the right time, maybe there was still more for me to learn, or maybe I am meant to stay solo and empowered.
Lessons in Love
Every relationship, whether it lasts a moment or years, teaches us something about who we are and what we value. And sometimes, the most important relationship we can nurture is the one with ourselves.
Closing Reflection
This episode taught me something unexpected: even when the conversation doesn’t flow exactly the way I pictured it, there’s still value in showing up honestly. Off camera, Cassie and I were relaxed and laughing. On camera, we were both a little nervous, and that shifted how it came across. And that’s okay.
Because just like in our relationships, not every connection, or every conversation, is going to feel perfect. Sometimes it will feel misaligned, sometimes it will stretch us, and sometimes it will teach us how to be more patient and gentle with ourselves.
For me, that’s the wisdom here: trusting that my voice, my timing, and even the imperfect moments are part of the journey. The more I lean into self-love, the more ease and authenticity naturally show up; in relationships, in friendships, and even in podcasting.
Thanks for reading, and tuning in. 'Til next time, remember, you are worthy, you are loved, and trust that every path has a purpose.
With love,
Lisa Eve
