S6 Ep 3: Alone, Together

Feb 04 2025 49 mins  
In this week’s episode of Dinner for One 2.0, I touch on the stigma surrounding solo living, especially for those of us in our 30s and beyond. There’s still this outdated narrative that if a woman lives alone, she must be lonely, jaded, or just waiting for the right partner to “complete” her. But we know that’s not true, right? Living alone doesn’t equal loneliness, and

S6 E2: A Transitional Phase w/Jessica Hodge

Jan 15 2025 52 mins  
My first guest of the season is my friend Jessica Hodge, an Australian sommelier living in Paris. This episode turned out to be quite an interesting one because I initially expected Jess to share similar feelings and ideas about creating and embracing a life of living alone, even if it’s temporary. Well, listener, I was wrong. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation, and

S6 Ep 1: Me, Myself and Brie

Dec 31 2024 35 mins  
And I'm back! To be honest, I thought the last episode published in June 2023 would be my last, but clearly I was wrong. When I started this podcast in 2018, I was in my early 30s grappling questions: "How can I survive this colossal life shift?", "What does survival even look like?" "Can I stay in Paris?" "Will I stay in Paris?" For all intents and purposes, I survived and did so

It's been a long time since the last episode, but I’m back! From my Parisian kitchen to your ears, join me on a trip down memory lane with some of the best moments from the Dinner for One podcast.

S5 Ep 9: 10 Things I've Learned In The 10 Years I've Lived in Paris

Jun 12 2023 45 mins  
Ten years ago today, June 12, 2013, I landed at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris with a spousal visa in hand, a diamond ring on my left ring finger, and a husband waiting for me at the arrivals section. I thought I had it all. Fast forward ten years, June 12, 2023, and my life looks very different. It doesn't resemble at all anything that I expected, but I am convinced everythin

S5 Ep: 8 Parenting (Not Quite) à la Français with Rosie Clifton

Apr 24 2023 36 mins  
In this episode, I’m in conversation with another pal of mine, Rosie Clifton. The goal of this episode was to talk about French parenting styles vs British, or even more broadly, Anglo-Saxon parenting styles. And while we did touch on that, the two biggest and most important lessons I took away from this chat were that I really need to CHILL THE F OUT and appreciate just living i

S5 Ep 7: Take up Space with Tiffanie Delune

Apr 10 2023 32 mins  
Back-to-back episodes featuring very chic, very cool, very stylish, very insightful Parisians. How lucky are we?! In this episode, I'm in conversation with my friend, the artist Tiffanie Delune. In the episode, we talk about self-love, self-care, being in alignment with oneself and how that leads you on the path toward designing your own life. Having the courage to acknowledge, as

S5 Ep 6: Living in the Moment with Marie Chalamet

Mar 22 2023 49 mins  
In this episode, I talk to my very Parisienne, very chic, very cool pal, Marie Chalamet. Like me, Marie is divorced. And like me, her marriage ended when she was in her early 30s. In this episode, we talk about food, of course, but we also talk about divorce and romantic relationships. Her approach to relationships and life, in general, is quite different from mine. Where she goe

S5 Ep 5: Ciao Bella from Italia!

Nov 14 2022 42 mins  
Ciao a tutti! I recorded this episode from a much bigger kitchen during my stay in Monopoli, Italy a few weeks back. In this episode I talk about why I went to Italy, the pull that the country, and specifically Puglia, has on me, traveling solo as a lady and I answer your IG questions (you guys are REALLY curious about TFM!) all while attempting to make pasta alla gricia. I hope yo

S5: Ep 4 The Shapes, Forms and Paths of Love

Sep 22 2022 50 mins  
Sometimes we forget to take stock of and appreciate the love we have in our lives when we feel like it's lacking. In this episode, I talk about a time in taking for granted the care, support, and affection I have around me and the things that happened that made it very clear that I need to focus on what I have versus what I perceive as a lack.
