Episode Description

Dating after divorce in your 50s can feel exciting, terrifying, and exhausting all at once. In this episode, I share 10 powerful questions you need to ask yourself before you get emotionally invested.

These questions help you stop chasing chemistry and start choosing peace. We talk about nervous system safety, emotional consistency, authentic self expression, and why you should never date someone’s potential. I also break down the difference between chaos and connection, and why midlife is the time to stop auditioning and start being chosen.

If you are tired of walking on eggshells, second guessing every text, or shrinking to keep the peace, this episode will help you recalibrate. At this stage of life, love should steady you. Not stress you.
