Welcome to 40 Dates in 40 Days! I’m your host, Sarah Beth. This is a show about dating in your 40s, which is not for the faint of heart! I recently turned 40, and I’m going on 40 dates in 40 days in hopes of finding my person. I'll recap my experiences, as well as interview experts, friends, and other folks navigating modern dating. So, grab a cup of tea, because we’re going to spill it, and settle in. It’s time to yap!
Episodes
We’re getting near the end of my 40 dates, and the outlook is still quite bleak.
This week, I recap Week 5, which started with a bad listener and ended with an unwanted kiss.
We also discuss the Burn the Haystack method of dating, a really sweet marriage story that makes me cry, and a poem about finding love that also makes me cry.
So grab your tea (and maybe your tissues) and let’s dive in!

If you’re a Millennial, chances are you were exposed to purity culture during the 90s and 00s in some way or another. This extreme version of abstinence only education pervaded not only the church, but even the schools.
Join me as I talk with Dr. Camden Morgante, a psychologist and purity culture expert, to discuss the myths of purity culture and the negative impact of this movement on those of us who experienced it - even long aft...
It’s time to discuss Alaska! Y’all - this place is a treasure trove of men; I had such a good time.
We also get into the mathematics of dating (and why calculating the number of people who meet your criteria is probably not helpful), gender imbalances and their impact on dating, and I share a very encouraging story of a long-term relationship.

This is a really special episode, and I hope you’ll enjoy the con...
This episode recaps my worst week thus far…while we also discuss the concept of a third place (and why church might not be it), whether or not there is such a thing as “name theory”, and a term I think I coined - “micro-rejections.”
Get cozy, and let’s spill some tea!

Dating coach Lindsay Taylor and I discuss the challenges of modern dating; if dating in Nashville really is worse than anywhere else; how to be successful in looking for a partner, and so much more.
Plus, I start the episode with a mini-recap of my dating experiences this week, a discussion of the male confidence epidemic (??), and some unexpected positives of this experience.

This week, I recap my third week of dates (spoiler alert: it wasn’t great), including my first nominated date, a guy who made me cry, and my first second date of this whole process (kinda.)
We’ve also got a great bad date story that one of you sent in (don’t forget to send me your bad and good date stories you’re okay with me sharing!), and more crazy behavior from the apps.
Let’s spill some tea!

On this week’s episode, we start with a couple (!!) bad date stories, as well as a very cute good date, and I recap a little of my experience on the apps over the past week before diving into a conversation with Travis Krothe of Cherries in East Nashville.

This week was a doozy, y'all! Join me as I recap the dates I didn't go on - almost as interesting as the ones I did - and we meet the Green Eyed Monster, the Misogynist, and a host of other characters. Plus, more lessons I've learned, the sweetest good date story, and all kinds of other things. Thanks for listening!

Going on 40 Dates in 40 Days sounds crazy - and maybe it is! But, it's so crazy, it just might work!
In this first episode, I'll fill you in on one of my worst date stories, as well as a good one to leave on a positive note. We'll discuss why I'm doing this challenge and what it looks like practically, and I'll answer some of the most common questions I've been asked - like how I'll meet the guys, and will I tell them about the cha...
