In episode 199, Andrea Atherton takes you on an intimate and enlightening journey through the evolving landscape of love, dating, and emotional connection across the decades. From the experimental and often chaotic energy of our 20s to the soulful discernment of our 50s and beyond, Andrea explores how our search for partnership changes as we grow — not just chronologically, but emotionally and spiritually. Grounded in psychology, attachment theory, and real-world stories, she brings wisdom and compassion to the often vulnerable path of seeking love at any age.
Andrea unpacks how attachment styles — secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant — shape our choices, chemistry, and challenges in relationships throughout life. Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, returning to dating after years away, or questioning if it’s too late to find a soul-deep connection, this episode offers both clarity and comfort. Andrea speaks to the ache of longing, the courage to stay open, and the transformative potential of aging with heart-centered awareness.
This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered, "Am I too late for love?” or felt unseen in the dating world. With her signature warmth and clinical insight, Andrea invites listeners to reflect on how their nervous system, attachment history, and personal healing journey influence how they show up in love. Tune in for a rich, soulful hour that will remind you: you are never too old, too late, or too broken for the kind of love that meets you where you truly are.
