Imagine growing up in a culture where from the time you were born, there was a playbook as to how your life should look. You go to school, get your college degree, get married and then have at least two kids, in that order.Rochelle Webb, faculty member at Loyola Marymount University and founder of Optimist Made, a cause-inspired e-tailer, realized in her thirties that she had attended over 100 weddings and was starting to become the focus of her friends and family who often wondered out loud, “Why are you still single?”So what would you do if society demanded that it was “time” for you to find a man, but you weren’t interested partnering up with someone simply so that you wouldn’t be alone? Would you take suggestions from well-meaning friends and use dating apps and matchmakers to find your ideal mate? Or would you empower yourself with the realization that you were fine on your own.More From Rochelle Webb:Visit Optimist MadeFollow on Instagram @optimistmadeFinding Rochelle Webb:Instagram: @rochellewebbBe sure not to miss our new COVID Warriors series releasing every Thursday.If you'd like to ask a question for either the Dear Laura segment or of an upcoming guest on COVID Warriors, be sure to join our Facebook Group .You can also DM us on instagram @theonlyoneintheroom or email us via the website www.theonlyonepod.com.Also visit the website for the latest from our host Laura Cathcart Robbins such as live events, appearances, featured articles and more.Don't miss our bonus after show Scott Talks, where co-host and producer Scott Slaughter (aka Hon) briefly chops it up with our guest immediately after the interview.*If you know someone who might be feeling like they're the "Only One" be sure to share this or one of our other unique episodes with them.

Picture this - it’s morning, and you’ve woken up on a mattress stained with food, wine and puke. Your computer and your TV are still on and there are half-eaten food cartons and beer bottles strewn around your apartment. Can you imagine what it must feel like to realize for the first and last time that this is NOT normal, not something you will just “grow out of” one day?Holly Whitaker, founder and CEO of Tempest Sobriety, and author of the New York Times bestselling memoir/self help book, Quit Like A Woman, found herself at a crossroads in 2013 after finding that she was unable to connect with the literature and tenants of the recovery meetings she’d been attending. So what would you do if you wanted to stop drinking but the traditional way felt too patriarchal, and simply did not resonate with you? Would you decide to keep trying anyway, since it was the only game in town? Or would you start your own sobriety school? Creating an 8-week virtual course that could provide another way for people to heal and live the lives they’re supposed to live?More from Holly Whitaker:Visit the website: www.jointempest.com Check out her book & book tour updates here: Quit Like A WomanFinding Holly Whitaker:Instagram: @hollyBe sure not to miss our new COVID Warriors series releasing every Thursday.If you'd like to ask a question for either the Dear Laura segment or of an upcoming guest on COVID Warriors, be sure to join our Facebook Group .You can also DM us on instagram @theonlyoneintheroom or email us via the website www.theonlyonepod.com.Also visit the website for the latest from our host Laura Cathcart Robbins such as live events, appearances, featured articles and more.Don't miss our bonus after show Scott Talks, where co-host and producer Scott Slaughter (aka Hon) briefly chops it up with our guest immediately after the interview.*If you know someone who might be feeling like they're the "Only One" be sure to share this or one of our other unique episodes with them.
