Christmas Eve can feel different when you’re single.

In this holiday episode of Single Girl Woes, Elle reflects on navigating Christmas Eve without forcing cheer or pretending everything is figured out.

This episode blends honesty, humor, and heart as we talk about being single during the holidays, dating with intention, making time for people who make time for you, and choosing peace over pressure. There is a little SGW sass for the awkward questions, space for the quiet moments, and encouragement for anyone learning to stay open without settling.

If you are single, reflecting, or craving a calm voice this Christmas Eve, this episode is for you.

Settle in.
You’re not alone.

Starting this podcast was never about followers or instant popularity. It was about having a place to vent. To release. To breathe. Therapy after the therapy.

Season One of Single Girl Woes wasn’t just a series it was a mirror. A journey. A mix of healing, sass, joy, reflection, and the unexpected plot twists that showed me who I really am. In this finale I share the truth about how this season actually felt the messy moments, the soft returns, the woman who kept showing up anyway.

I also open up about what comes next: the Advent series on Instagram this December, my book that began during my divorce and now includes fresh chapters from the woman I’ve become, the hope and desire for forever love balanced with the joy of single life...and yes, the promise of Season Two with deeper chats, discreet date tales, maybe even some sound effects.

Stay connected. The story continues.

Guest: Jamila, Host of The Messy Middle

Healing does not follow a straight path, and this week we are talking about what it really feels like to grow through the moments that pull you forward and push you back. In this conversation, Elle is joined by Jamila, a crisis counselor and mindfulness coach from Georgia who understands the emotional work that happens in the in between places.

Jamila hosts The Messy Middle podcast, where she leads honest and unfiltered conversations about the moments we do not always talk about. Her new book, The Weight of Light, released last month, explores healing, resilience, and the tension of carrying both pain and possibility at the same time.

In this episode, Elle and Jamila talk about the waves of healing, the setbacks that humble us, the quiet growth that surprises us, the boundaries that protect our energy, and the beauty in becoming even when the journey feels slow.

This is a warm, grounded, girlfriend style conversation about choosing yourself, honoring your story, and giving yourself room to grow.

From the allure of chemistry disguised as red flags to the calm energy of green flags, Elle shares personal insights and reflections on recognizing and responding to these signals. Join Elle as she navigates the complexities of dating, self-awareness, and the journey towards attracting consistent and clear love.

What if attraction worked like the movie Shallow Hal — where you only saw someone’s inner beauty first? Would your type still be your type?

In this episode, Elle gets honest about the gap between what we say we want and what we actually choose. She reflects on one of her favorite rom-coms and asks a tough question: have we all become a little too shallow to see love clearly?

In this episode, Elle gets real about the fine line between healing and just holding it together. From learning the difference between coping and caring, to setting boundaries that actually protect your peace, this conversation dives deep into what self-care truly looks like when the filters come off.
