Are you tired of people assuming single = incomplete?

Being single doesn’t mean you’re missing something. It means you’re living life on your terms — and thriving.

In this powerful solo episode of Reframing Perspectives, Dr. Payal Beri challenges the outdated belief that a woman’s worth is tied to her relationship status. Through personal stories, cultural observations, and big-picture societal critique, she invites you to see singlehood as a valid, fulfilling, and powerful life choice.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The subtle ways society sidelines single women — from awkward family questions to invisible workplace bias.
• How to create fulfillment without a partner — building a life anchored in friendships, purpose, and joy.
• Why changing the conversation benefits everyone — not just women choosing independence.
• The hidden biases in our systems — from plus-one expectations to tax codes and legislation.
• Lessons from nature — what orcas, elephants, and matriarch-led communities can teach us about leadership and collaboration.
