What if being alone isn’t something to fix — but something to embrace?

We've been sold the story that happiness requires a partner. That being single is a waiting room, a problem to solve, a gap to fill. But what if the most transformative relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself? Drawing from over fifteen years of clinical experience, as well as her own journey through heartbreak and healing, Dr Marny Lishman reveals why solitude isn't something to fear, but is instead a powerful catalyst for growth, creativity and genuine contentment.
