Two episodes in one week! Look at meeeee! This is my way of apologizing for the long break between episodes. So all is forgiven now, yeah?

I didn’t realize it at the time…

S6 Ep 3: Alone, Together 49:02

3M ago49:02

49:02

In this week’s episode of Dinner for One 2.0, I touch on the stigma surrounding solo living, especially for those of us in our 30s and beyond. There’s still this outdated narrative that if a woman lives alone, she must be lonely, jaded, or just waiting for the right partner to “complete” her. But we know that’s not true, right? Living alone doesn’t…

My first guest of the season is my friend Jessica Hodge, an Australian sommelier living in Paris.

Well, listener, I was wrong. That said, I thorough…

"Will I stay in Paris?" For all intents an…

Ten years ago today, June 12, 2013, I landed at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris with a spousal visa in hand, a diamond ring on my left ring finger, and a husband waiting for me at the arrivals section.
