What did you find to be different? Bonos: Who are your single women role models, in pop culture or real life? But those stories end essentially with puberty. Bonos: In the first chapter, you write about your 40th birthday hanging over you like a guillotine, which is such an evocative and accurate way of addressing that fear of turning 40 as a woman. What sort of wisdom do you have on the other side? My relationships have deepened; I find them more satisfying and valuable MacNicol: My life is more enjoyable now than it has ever been, and more fulfilling. My relationships have deepened; I find them more satisfying and valuable. I feel more secure and confident. The word I come back to is that I feel incredibly powerful. Bonos: How did that connection come to you? MacNicol: I was in Wyoming, on a hike 8,000 feet up, and all of a sudden my phone started vibrating with New York Times alerts. There was this disconnect between where I was and what I was reading. Who is the her? This is so alarming to so many people who are used to having all the power. Bonos: Back to the idea of this blueprint. What has that blueprint looked like for you? MacNicol: When you have a child. To not have that is so freeing. There are moments when I would like someone else to be providing my health insurance. But those moments are less than half the time; it flips back and forth. I live in a house; my oldest friend in New York, her husband and kids live downstairs. Even though my living situation sometimes sounds like a sitcom.

This is something we don't encourage women to do, but I've learned to trust my instincts One of the benefits of turning 40 is I stopped being concerned about appearances, in terms of: Does my life look strange? I just go with it. MacNicol: We make a mistake by thinking about it as a clear-cut decision. Or do I want one badly enough to upend my life? I do spend a lot of time with children, so I was fully aware, as much as you can be, of the glorious things was that I was probably turning down as well as the hugely difficult, time-consuming things. I was the number one or number two emergency call for a whole bunch of people, and it just so happened that they all called me at the same time. It was really overwhelming. It was my mother; my niece and nephew; my business partner; my friends. When that changes, these conversations will change. Bonos: How do you ask people for help when you need it? You have to let people help.

I got my life back together and moved on. Others I prime,male and female, just do it more subtley, have friends just happening to be in the same place or sitting a few tables away. The normal grounded woman. To be honest I contemplated whether to post your comment. By your reckoning, we should cater to people suffering from agoraphobia. Piece ladies are accused of possessing some fault moral, physical as reasons behind their singlehood. All of this does play a role in how your life will come out.
