I’m having a bit of a rubbish time - break up after a succession of shit OLDs and a failed marriage - and I need some kickarse songs to make a new me/I’m ok being single playlist. Any suggestions please?

Are you on Spotify? Lots of these are on a playlist called 'Confidence Boost'

Dua Lipa - New Rules
Taylor Swift - We are never getting back together
Diana Ross - I'm coming out

Not a song, but a poem. Phenomenal Woman, Mya Angelou.

If you don't feel strong after reading it, you are a lost cause, and I don't think you are.

The original You Don’t Own Me by Lesley Gore.

Look at her here - so young and it’s only 1963 - rock n roll had barely begun. But there she is throwing shade and bossing it. Amy Winehouse must have seen this at some point.
