Kathryn interviews Author Bella DePaulo PhD.It's common knowledge that single women are lonely, desperate for a partner, and envious of every couple they see. Spinsters struggle later in life, never feel fulfilled, and would just love for you to set them up with your neighbor’s nephew. But, what if society’s ideas about single people—who, by the way, comprise half of the adult population—are wrong? Bella DePaulo PhD challenges the notion that single life is something people settle for, and shows that for millions, in every part of the world, being unpartnered is the key to their most joyful, fulfilling, authentic, and psychologically rich life. Drawing on more than three decades of social science research, and her own experience as a 70-year-old woman happily single her entire life, DePaulo—whose TEDx Talk on the topic has more than 1.7 million views—paints a bold and groundbreaking picture of the myriad benefits of investing in your single life. Bella DePaulo PhD ( Harvard University) has always been single and always will be. The Atlantic calls her “America’s foremost thinker and writer on the single experience.”Kathryn also interviews Author Dr. Kathleen Corley.Without question, schools today grapple with obstacles unheard of a generation ago, and yet, elementary school principal Dr. Kathleen Corley has figured out how to transform her school into a warm, nurturing community where students embrace a passion for learning. As a 40-year veteran in elementary education, she shares how to overcome current obstacles in education with human interest stories that illuminate a brighter path forward. Using humor, insight and optimism, Dr. Corley reminds readers that despite the problems in schools today — disagreements about what students should or should not be taught, the lingering effects of COVID, etc. — magic still happens in classrooms. She who has been called a Pied Piper of Education, can be seen leading the student drumline down the halls of Palmetto’s Finest Award-winning Red Cedar Elementary School.
