Unlocking the mysteries of midlife (30 to 50 year olds) dating through real-life stories to give hope and share learnings.Join a fellow midlife dater on the path to finding love, your host Anita, as she takes you on an authentic, relatable and humorous journey looking at midlife dating. Midlife dating can be beautiful, painful, funny, excruciating and inspiring. It can lead to the holy grail of a soulmate relationship but rarely without an interesting story along the way. This podcast focuses on everyday people’s stories – both the success stories and nightmare dates from hell – and teaches us that even the most disastrous stories can lead to us to important lessons in life and reminds us that we are not alone. Some of the questions we explore in the podcast– what is stopping people from online dating? What makes someone swipe left or right? What are the deal breakers when dating in midlife?

This podcast explores the everyday and the extraordinary moments of midlife dating, seeks to normalise the issues that arise, reduce the stigma of being single in midlife and support people who are on the sometimes difficult, sometimes beautiful journey to finding midlife love.
