Spinsterhood Reimagined
Are you single, childfree, and tired of the stigma attached to your 'spinster' status? Are you actually having an awesome time, loving your life because of the freedoms afforded to you as a result of being alone and not having kids? Or are you not quite there yet? Either way, this is for you.
This is the podcast where we're going to reclaim the word spinster, where we're going to redefine what the word means, and where we're going to reimagine the outdated narrative around spinsterhood.
Because the truth - the big secret that no-one seems to realise or acknowledge - is that, actually, being a spinster rocks. This podcast will also look at the subject of personal growth and how, as spinsters, we have the luxury of being able to spend time becoming the people we truly want to be; the best versions of ourselves. Because, after all, isn't that what we all want?
Every week I'll release either a 'solo' episode in which I'll ruminate on the many different aspects of being single and childfree - and why they get to be brilliant - such as holidaying alone, living alone, identity, finding your purpose, being an auntie, freedom, opportunity and much, much more; or an episode with an array of fantastic guests with whom I'll be having interesting, inspirational and insightful conversations around the same themes.

Spinsterhood Reimagined
The One Where I Talk To Attachment Specialist & Coach, Sami Reed Cleaver
My guest on this week’s episode is the completely gorgeous Sami Reed Cleaver.
Sami is a certified relationship and self-love coach who specialises in healing anxious attachment and codependency by helping her clients to reprogram their fear-based beliefs, and to connect more deeply with themselves. She helps people heal anxious attachment patterns, and develop self-acceptance, confidence, and self-trust, so they can achieve emotional freedom and inner peace.
She is originally from Wales, but lives in Thailand, and is currently single and childfree.
Topics that we cover are:
- Sami’s life in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and how much she loves it;
- being the love and light in our own lives, and what that means to Sami;
- what attachment is, and the different styles of attachment;
- how much our parents and childhood impact our attachment style;
- the difference between anxious and avoidant attachment;
- what it means to be fearful-avoidant;
- codependency, what it is, and what it looks like in a relationship;
- how and why we always go for people who make us feel familiar, ‘safe’ emotions, even if they’re bad news;
- how important it is for us to listen to our intuition;
- why we need to make rejection and abandonment feel safe;
- expanding our tolerance of negative emotions;
- Sami’s previous feelings of unworthiness and how they affected her relationships;
- how she used cooking for herself as a way of building up her self worth;
- how important it is to find your tribe, whether online or in person;
- why we need to embody the higher version of ourselves, even if it feels silly;
- choosing ourselves, instead of waiting to be chosen;
- boundaries, and why we struggle with them.
