In this solo episode, I share my midlife dating practice, how to show up on first dates with confidence, curiosity, and high-value boundaries. You’ll get the exact questions I ask (beyond “What do you do?”), how I lean into feminine energy without people-pleasing, why taking it one date at a time saves your sanity, and how to stop chasing the wrong men by raising your standards. I cover listening like a pro, pacing intimacy, saying no to last-minute plans, and keeping your life full (friends, hikes, joy) so you’re choosing from wholeness, not scarcity.
