How We Live Now with Katherine May

Nicola Slawson on being alone in Berlin

42 min • 26 februari 2021

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.


This week Katherine chats to Nicola Slawson, journalist and founder of 'The Single Supplement'.


Through her newsletter The Single Supplement, Nicola Slawson has become the poster girl for a happy life lived alone. But much of her success lies in her ability to write honestly and with balance about the single life - and here she talks about a period of extreme loneliness after taking a dream job in Berlin. This is a story of finding your own path through difficult times.


An upfront and honest take on her experiences in journalism and travel, in which Nicola talks about loneliness versus being single, her journalism training, waves of depression which were magnified through situation and location, the toll that reality can take on journalists, confronting echo chambers, spirals, imposter syndrome and being 'Queen Of The Hustle'.
