A Tale of Two Singles

Ep 32. I don't know about you, but we're feeling 22 (plus a decade...)

The FINALE of season two is finally here! We hope it’s worth the wait… It’s episode 32. We’re 32. And there’s at least 32 reasons we’re thankful for A Tale of Two Singles (…in this episode we share exactly 32 of them). Join us as we reflect on the last two years of the podcast and chat about some of the things we’ve loved, learned from, laughed about and grown from through ATOTS. What a time to be alive. We also share some of your lovely feedback and ideas, revisit our commitment issues, laugh over another listener courting chaos story, and reminisce about some of our fantastic guests. We have grown so much since episode one of A Tale of Two Singles. Our opinions have changed. Our conversations have evolved. We’ve spoken to some incredible people. And we’ve had the best time. Thanks for listening and coming on this journey with us! As ever, we would LOVE to hear your thoughts, stories and reflections, so do drop us an email at ataleoftwosingles@gmail.com or Instagram us @ataleoftwosingles. You can buy us a coffee too, if you fancy it, at www.buymeacoffee.com/atots. And don’t forget, whether you’re single, dating, in a relationship, married, or have no idea where you’re at right now – you’re great and we appreciate you. Thank you! Sarah and Geraldine x

Ep 31. Real life love, with Vicky Walker

We probably all have a good idea about how Christian relationships and marriage are supposed to go… But how often do they actually work out like that? And what are the dangers of normalising the exception? We were really excited to unpack this with special guest Vicky Walker, who has surveyed hundreds of Christian men and women about their relationship journeys. (Ladies and gents, we have real life statistics in this episode and everything! Like actual research… And everyone knows, you can argue with Sarah and Geraldine, but you can’t fight facts). Vicky is a writer, speaker, interviewer, event host and radio person. She is also the author of Do I Have to be Good All the Time? and Relatable: Exploring God, Love and Connection in the Age of Choice. We’ve been wanting to have Vicky on A Tale of Two Singles for absolutely ages, as we think the findings of her Real Life Love survey are really fascinating and helpful. So we hope you enjoy our conversation! As ever, drop us a message and let us know what you think! We LOVE hearing from you. Email ataeoftwosingles@gmail.com or Instagram us @ataleoftwosingles. And if you want to find out more about Vicky, head to www.vickywalker.info. Love, Geraldine and Sarah x

Ep 30. Celeb crushes, love triangles and belt loops

Have you ever felt embarrassed when talking about your dating history (or lack of)? If you have, we’re here to tell you: 1. You’re not alone. And 2. It’s time to stop being embarrassed! Join us for episode 30 of A Tale of Two Singles, where we challenge the myth that your dating history is embarrassing, discuss some of your amazingly helpful feedback, and share another one of your great courting chaos stories (it was high time for a love triangle, we’re sure you’ll agree). We also chat about some of our more cringey celebrity crushes, Sarah’s inability to hear innuendos before she’s said them, and why you need to start owning your story. As ever, please do drop us a message to let us know what you think of A Tale of Two Singles. Honestly, it’s your feedback that keeps us recording on these dark wintery days. Also – send us courting chaos stories please! We know some of you are holding out on us… Email ataleoftwosingles@gmail.com or Instagram us @ataleoftwosingles. Happy listening friends. We love you! Geraldine and Sarah xx PS. Did you also know that you can now rate us on Spotify! So if you’re listening there, please do give us some stars (preferably 5). And if you’d like to buy us a coffee, that would be nice too. Head to buymeacoffee.com/atots.

Ep 29. Kindness, Ted Lasso and apologies for the fake news

It’s November and we literally don’t know how we got here – sorry for October’s radio silence! But we’re back and we’re excited to be talking about what makes good girlfriend/boyfriend material. Do all kind people make good partners? Is it bad that we don’t want to spend 24 hours a day with our hypothetical husbands? And is it even possible to fall in love with someone who doesn’t make you laugh?! We also give you a whistle-stop tour of our Octobers (you’re welcome), share your thoughts on what makes a good partner, bring back Tinderella, and talk about our new favourite men: Ted Lasso and Roy Kent. As ever, please do send us your courting chaos stories, your thoughts, your feedback, your hopes and your dreams. Instagram or Facebook us @ataleoftwosingles or email ataleoftwosingles@gmail.com. We love your messages! We hope you enjoy! Sarah and Geraldine x

Ep 28. Defining the relationship

When, what, how, why, must I really…? In episode 28 of A Tale of Two Singles we chat about defining the relationship. When’s too soon to say you’re a couple? Is it really worth facing rejection by asking if you could be more than friends? And why is it so darn hard to be vulnerable? Join us as we try to tackle all these questions and discuss your takes on when’s the right time to DTR. We also have not one, but TWO great courting chaos stories, update you on our outdoor furniture fiasco, and retraumatise ourselves remembering the spider drama we recently lived through… Sarah also decides it’s a good idea to try speaking in German (for which I apologise profusely). Have a listen and then please send us your thoughts! Your emails and messages make our day. We’d love your stories, ideas, opinions and feedback. Instagram or Facebook us @ataleoftwosingles or email ataleoftwosingles@gmail.com. If you’d like to buy us a coffee, that would be nice too. Head to buymeacoffee.com/atots. Love you, bye… Geraldine and Sarah x
