How this season will help you date with confidence again

Finding Love Over 50, After Divorce, and Beyond This short preview episode sets the stage for what’s coming next on Love at Any Age, especially for women focused on finding love over 50 and navigating dating in a new chapter of life.

Laurie Gerber shares how Season 2 builds directly on the foundation of Season 1while introducing exciting new guests, deeper conversations, and highly practical guidance for women over 50 who want to date with more confidence, clarity, and momentum.

Season 2 is shaped by three things: your YouTube comments, Laurie’s 20+ years of coaching experience, and the real-life challenges her clients are facing right now.

The goal is simple but ambitious: to help you show up stronger, more prepared, and less shaken by the inevitable bumps of dating—so healthy, lasting love becomes more likely and less painful.

🎙️ Special Guests for Finding Love After Divorce & Over 50 Laurie previews several standout guests who will be joining her this season:

Joan Price — An expert on sex and intimacy for adults 50+, joining Laurie for honest conversations about desire styles, libido differences, erectile dysfunction, and how intimacy evolves in midlife.

Lauren Handel-Zander — Laurie’s own coach and the creator of the Head-Heart-Hoo-Ha framework. Lauren shares her personal story of navigating an unexpected divorce in her 50s and how she found new love using the very tools she teaches.

Dominique Sachse — A podcaster who inspired Laurie to start Love at Any Age. Dominique opens up about a very public breakup, a surprising rekindling of an old romance, and how that relationship became the healthiest love of her life. This will be a special “hope episode” designed to remind you what’s possible.

🔮 Season 2 Topics: Dating After Divorce & Over 50 Women Dating Season 2 launches around Valentine’s Day and dives into the questions women over 50 ask most when they’re ready to date again—or already dating and feeling discouraged.

Here’s a preview of what’s coming: How to Get Ready to Date Again A highly actionable Top 10 list for women who think this might be their year to seriously pursue love, drawn from the most common obstacles Laurie sees in coaching.

Flirting and Sex in Midlife Dating Addressing insecurities, confidence issues, and the internal work that helps women feel comfortable and alive again in this part of dating—plus expert guidance from Joan Price.

How to Stop Picking the Same Guy Again Why so many smart women know what they want—but keep choosing partners who aren’t right and how to reset your “picker” without blaming yourself.

Creating Real Momentum in Dating How to move from texting to real conversations, from first dates to second dates, and how to find the sweet spot between too fast and too slow.

Ghosting: Why It Happens and How to Handle It What ghosting really means, how to respond without losing confidence, and how to stop this fear from keeping you off the dating scene altogether.

💬 Laurie’s Bigger Mission: Finding Love Over 50 Without Losing Yourself Laurie is upfront: dating isn’t easy. If it were, everyone would have healthy love—and most people don’t. Season 2 is about helping you build emotional strength, resilience, and confidence so you’re not knocked down by rejection, silence, or disappointment.

The focus is on developing a thicker skin without becoming guarded, staying open without being naïve, and showing up as your strongest, most present self so love has a real chance to find you.

📣 Your Voice Shapes Season 2 of Love at Any Age Some episodes are already recorded. Others are still being planned. Laurie invites you to leave comments on YouTube, Spotify, Podbean, or Apple Podcasts and tell her what you want more of—because Season 2 will continue to evolve based on what you ask for.

Season 2 launches next week.

Use New Year’s and Dating Sunday to clean up bad habits, heal old relationships and build the self-love you need to date bravely

Dating over 50 is hard enough without your own insecurities quietly hijacking the process. In this episode of Love at Any Age, Laurie Gerber goes beyond body image and dives into five more self-love “hot spots” that can block you from finding healthy, lasting love in midlife: bad habits, flirting and sex, family relationships, exes, and deep unresolved hauntings.

If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe it’s the apps,” “Maybe it’s men,” or “Maybe it’s just my age,” Laurie gently but firmly makes the case that the real opportunity is inside your relationship with yourself—and that’s the part you can actually change. In honor of New Year’s and Dating Sunday (January 4th, the biggest day of the year for joining dating sites), she walks you through how to turn vague resolutions into concrete promises that actually move your love life forward.

In this episode, Laurie covers: ✅ Why you can’t imagine someone loving you well if you don’t yet love yourself that way ✅ The hidden cost of “harmless” bad habits (drinking, sugar, screens, porn, spending, overworking) on your confidence and intimacy ✅ A kinder, more effective way to change habits ✅ Why flirting, sex, and “being good in bed” are learnable skills at any age (and how to start practicing) ✅ How adult children, aging parents, money, and inheritance worries quietly sabotage dating ✅ What to clean up with exes so the “job opening” for your future partner is truly available ✅ How unresolved hauntings from childhood or past relationships haunt dating ✅ Simple first steps for getting support so you’re not carrying it all alone ✅ Exactly how to design your action steps so you don’t abandon your goals by March

Laurie will challenge you to stop beating yourself up and instead build true self-esteem by making a plan that honors your dream of lasting, healthy love in midlife.

Does the thought of being rejected make you want to quit dating altogether? In this episode of Love at Any Age, dating coach Laurie Gerber helps women over 50 handle rejection—both receiving it and giving it—without losing hope, dignity, or self-worth. If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t handle one more no,” this conversation is your emotional Band-Aid.

Laurie breaks down why rejection is an unavoidable part of finding healthy, lasting love and compares dating to running a marathon: you need preparation, pacing, and a little protection from chafing. You’ll learn why ghosting happens (and what it really means), how to keep a pipeline of conversations so one person’s disappearance doesn’t knock you out, and how to adopt the shopper mindset so you stop treating every no as a verdict on your value. She also shares a powerful client story about Kim, who went from being terrified of ghosting to meeting her partner once she stopped taking every rejection personally.

Then Laurie turns to the other side of the equation—how to say “no thank you” without guilt, overthinking, or putting yourself at risk. You’ll get her exact rejection scripts, the “grace and wisdom sandwich,” and practical safety tips: when to meet in public, why to stay in the app, why not to drink on early dates, and why staying “friends” with romantic non-matches usually backfires. By the end, you’ll have clear homework to open your pipeline, write your own gentle rejection text, and update your 3H chart so you can keep dating with your head, heart, and hoo-ha fully on your side.

You’ll learn: - Why rejection and “failure” are baked into the path to healthy, lasting love - How to keep a dating pipeline so one ghost or no doesn’t knock you out emotionally - Why having multiple early conversations actually makes you kinder and less reactive - How to use the “shopper mindset” so you evaluate fit instead of your worth - Why your one wants you—and what it means when someone disappears or pulls away - How to protect your mood of self-worth so you don’t spiral into self-criticism - A real-life story of a woman who moved through ghosting fear and found her partner - How to respond with grace when someone rejects you (and why it’s good karma) - Laurie’s exact scripts for saying “no thank you” kindly and clearly - Safety and clarity tips for early dates: public places, exits, staying in-app, and not drinking - Why staying friends with romantic non-matches usually hurts more than it helps - Homework to open your pipeline, craft your rejection script, and revisit your 3H chart

A step-by-step guide to dating over 50 without wasting time, losing hope, or ignoring your three H’s: head, heart, and hoo-ha.

Still saying yes when your whole body is screaming no? In this episode of Love at Any Age, dating coach Laurie Gerber breaks down five classic dating mistakes women over 50 make that quietly destroy their 3H alignment — your head, your heart, and your hoo-ha. If you keep repeating the same relationship patterns, this is your loving but firm wake-up call.

Laurie walks you through how each internal “voter” works, why dating over 50 requires clear boundaries, and exactly where midlife daters tend to slip: agreeing to second and third dates when you’re already sure it’s a no, skipping the video chat and wasting nights on dud dates, texting your way into a fantasy instead of testing compatibility, having sex long before your 3H is a full-body yes, and pretending to be “low maintenance” or more easygoing than you really are. She gives you scripts, timing guidelines, and real-life examples so you can protect your emotional safety and your hope in love.

Whether you’re newly back in the dating scene, feeling burned out from online dating, or just ready to stop staying too long in the wrong situations, this episode will help you create your own set of dating promises. You’ll walk away with clear rules for video chats, texting, sex and truth-telling so your head, heart, and hoo-ha can finally vote yes on the same person.

You’ll learn: - Why saying yes when you mean no destroys trust between your head, heart, and hoo-ha - How staying too long in the wrong relationship makes you cynical about dating over 50 - The simple rule for when to ask for a video chat before a first date (and exactly what to say) - How to interpret a man’s response when you request a video chat — and when it’s actually good news if he disappears - Why texting too much too soon creates a fantasy instead of testing real-life compatibility - The dangers of having sex before your 3H is fully on board and you’ve agreed to monogamy - How faking your interests, needs, or “low maintenance” persona traps you in the wrong relationship - How to turn these five dating mistakes into personal promises that protect your hope, time, and heart
