    62 years of marriage, one bank account, plenty of disagreements… and somehow, divorce was never part of the conversation.

    Your calendar is full, your career is moving, your life looks impressive… so why is love still sitting in the “later” folder? In this episode, I’m speaking directly to successful single women who want a real relationship, but keep postponing dating until after the next promotion, business idea, book, trip, or life reset.
