You’re More Than Your Relationship Status: Overcoming the Fear of Being Alone | Life Happens

Hard truth: Staying because it’s comfortable might be the loneliest choice you make. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop ignoring the red flags and choose to end a toxic or misaligned relationship. In this week’s episode of Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, we’re unpacking the pressure around relationships, singleness, and breakups — and what it really means to choose yourself. From recognizing when a relationship has run its course to building a strong sense of self, this conversation will empower you to create healthier relationships with yourself and others. 💬 Barb opens up about ending a 33-year marriage and how she stepped into a new chapter with confidence, clarity, and freedom. 💬 Michelle shares her journey of being alone and finding peace in choosing singleness over settling for less. What We Talk About ✨ Self-Identity Releasing the belief that our worth or purpose is defined by our relationship status. ✨ Being Okay With Being Alone Singleness isn’t failure — it can be a powerful season of growth, healing, and self-love. ✨ Listening to Yourself Learning to trust your feelings and needs so you can take the next right step. ✨ Choosing Differently Sometimes the uncomfortable path is the one that leads to joy, peace, and real alignment. Reminder: You are more than your relationship status. Your identity, purpose, and fulfillment are defined by you — not by timelines, labels, or societal expectations. 📘 USA TODAY BESTSELLER — Dear Friend by Michelle Maros Start 2026 with New Year, Brave You.
