Yeah, dating in midlife is very much a thing, and I’m living proof and getting real about what it’s like to date as a solo-ager at 58, what the dating landscape really looks like today, and where the heck we’re supposed to meet our humans.

From the app gap to curated connection spaces (and a few “no thanks” gym moments), I’m not holding back.

This one’s for the women, the solo-agers, the late bloomers, and anyone ready to say: “It’s our time.” Because it is. Let’s talk about finding love in the second (or third) act, with intention, humor, and high standards.

Find me on YouTube too! My channel is for women who know life doesn’t come with an expiration date. Around here, we’re flipping the script on aging, career pivots, and what it means to live fully in your prime.

If you’re ready to mix life in the middle with a little fun, a little grit, and a whole lot of real talk, you’re in the right place. We’re Aging Out Loud, and the best chapters are still ahead.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
