Outlouders, you had some pretty strong feelings about last week's episode. And we heard you loud and clear.
We knew we needed to revisit that New Jersey bride and her 'singles' poster. So Em Vernem is here to challenge pretty much every opinion we shared about 'single stigma'.
Jessie's got questions, some honest confessions, and one very relatable reason why she hesitates to set up her single friends.
Plus, Holly shares everything she couldn't say on the main show – from matchmakers to marriage pressure and all the messy bits in between.
Consider this our deeper dive into 'single stigma', why it matters, and yes... one of us might owe you an apology.
