Being intentionally single and what DON'T you post on socials?!

Radio 1's Life Hacks

Available for 29 days

Lauren Layfield and Shanequa Paris talk through the latest TikTok trend of sharing the stuff that DOESN'T make it the timeline. The messy bits, the boring bits, the “this just isn’t for the internet” bits. We get into the gap between what we post and what real life actually looks like. What are the things you’ll never put online? From petty thoughts to private moments, we want to hear it all (well… within reason). Because behind every perfectly curated feed is a whole lot more going on! Plus we explore what it means to be intentionally single, from focusing on personal growth to breaking away from societal pressure to always be in a relationship. We’ll hear from MAFS icon Sarah Gillanders and talk more about choice - whether you’re happily single, questioning your relationship status or just curious, we’ll be unpacking the benefits, challenges and everything in between. Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 1.
