    Ep 42: Sex After 50: Getting Your Desire Back

    What if the confidence and desire you thought were gone for good are not actually gone, just waiting to be reawakened? Not sure whether you are truly ready to date and connect again? Take Laurie’s quiz to find out where you are and what to do next: https://lauriegerber.com/quiz?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=ep_042_cta-top&utm_term=suzanne_noble Somewhere between back then and now, the woman who felt wanted and desired seems to have disappeared, and it is easy to decide the ship has sailed. For a lot of women over 50 the story is that sex is simply over, and not worth the pain or the awkwardness. That story leaves out how much of this is fixable. In this episode, Suzanne Noble, host of Sex Advice for Seniors and a candid voice on intimacy after 50, names what actually changes in the body and what to do about it. You will learn why sex can become painful after menopause and how vaginal estrogen helps, what testosterone does for libido, and how Kegels and the pelvic floor fit in. You will also learn how to reconnect with your own sexuality through self-pleasure, long before a partner is in the picture. Laurie Gerber helps women over 50 stop guessing and start choosing wisely in dating over 50, and that includes talking honestly about sex. Here, she and Suzanne turn a taboo subject into a practical, hopeful conversation you can act on. The surprising part is that desire after 50 is less about spontaneity and more about being intentional, and that is something you can build. Timestamps: 00:00–02:01 — The “ship has sailed” lie about sex after 50. 02:01–05:21 — What women won’t admit: painful sex, and bad advice. 05:21–07:28 — Meet Suzanne Noble: straight talk on sex over 50. 07:28–11:49 — Vaginal atrophy, estrogen, libido, and testosterone. 11:49–15:45 — How to talk to your doctor, and who to follow. 15:45–17:05 — Reconnect with your body: the self-pleasure habit. 17:05–22:55 — Kegels, the pelvic floor, and devices that help. 22:55–25:19 — How Suzanne got into sex advice for seniors. 25:19–28:22 — Be intentional: scheduling desire and warming up. 28:22–31:44 — Homework: the Yes/No/Maybe checklist and free guide.

    Ep 41: The One Habit That’s Killing His Desire

    What if the reason his attraction seems to be fading has almost nothing to do with your age or your body? Not sure which patterns are quietly showing up in your love life? Take Laurie’s quiz to find out where you are and what to do next: https://lauriegerber.com/quiz?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=ep_041_cta-top&utm_term=bob_grant He has gone quiet. The touch that used to come easily is not landing the way it did, and you have already started writing the story that he has lost interest and this is just what happens after 50. That story is almost always wrong, and believing it can quietly make things worse. In this episode, Bob Grant, a former therapist and bestselling author who has spent 25 years studying male attraction over 50, walks through what actually drives a man’s desire and why men lose interest. You will learn the real reason intimacy over 50 fades, the bonding stages every couple moves through, and the one everyday habit that kills male attraction almost instantly. You will also learn how to reconnect with your husband or partner by changing what you do, not how you look. Laurie Gerber helps women over 50 stop guessing and start choosing wisely in dating over 50. Here, she and Bob make the invisible rules of male desire simple enough to use tonight, including how to talk to men about feelings without pushing them away. The most surprising part is that the very thing that heals you is the same thing that draws him back in. Timestamps: 00:00–05:03 — Why “he lost interest” is wrong: it’s resentment, not you. 05:03–06:37 — Is it you, him, or the two of you?

    Ep 40: The Hidden Self-Sabotage That’s Keeping You From Finding Love After Divorce

    What if finding love after divorce over 50 comes down to 5 things you haven’t tried yet, not luck? Most women over 50 believe dating after divorce is a numbers game they keep losing, that the good ones are gone, married, or hiding. Laurie Gerber says that belief usually isn’t about the odds. It’s a nervous system that decided long ago that love isn’t safe. In this episode, Laurie breaks down 5 things that actually increase your chances of finding love after divorce over 50, including a hidden form of self-sabotage that rarely looks like sabotage. She also walks through her Divorce Detox checklist, the test she uses to know if someone is truly ready to date again. Laurie has spent over 20 years helping women date with intention instead of guesswork, and this episode hands over her most-requested framework for rebuilding dating confidence after divorce.

    Ep 39: How to Manifest a Partner (Not Just Wish for One)

    Could the man you past over have been your person?  Dating over 50 often means chasing instant chemistry and writing people off just as fast, while the steady, slow-building connection that actually lasts gets overlooked. In this episode, Laurie sits down with relationship therapist Jaime Bronstein to talk about how to manifest a partner using her MAN*ifesting method, a step by step framework built on self love, intuition, and surrender. They get into why 71% of women now say they are more drawn to intellectual, emotionally mature men than to staged confidence, and why dating over 50 manifesting starts with healing old patterns before a new one can show up. Laurie has spent more than 20 years helping women over 50 stop guessing and start choosing wisely, and this conversation is a clear example of why. Jaime shares the real story of how she used these exact steps to meet her own husband, gives her honest take on ghosting after a first date, and offers a free 7 day challenge to help listeners start putting these ideas into practice right away. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00–07:28 — Why nerdy, intellectual men are winning at dating now. 07:28–10:50 — Meet Jaime Bronstein and her MAN*ifesting philosophy. 10:50–14:50 — Video vibe checks before a first date over 50. 14:50–21:50 — Ghosting after first date: what it really means. 21:50–27:32 — What manifesting actually means (and Jaime's love story). 27:32–40:52 — The MAN*ifesting steps: self love, intuition, feelization. 40:52–46:00 — The "ideal scene" method for manifesting a partner. 46:00–54:14 — Turning fear into faith, plus where to find Jaime. 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES More from Laurie: If you want clarity on what a healthy partnership looks like for you, Laurie walks you through the 3H method step by step in her free 75-minute training: 👉 https://www.lauriegerber.com/webinar?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=ep_039&utm_term=jaime_bronstein 🌐 Website: https://www.lauriegerber.com?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=ep_039&utm_term=jaime_bronstein Jaime Bronstein website and resources: Guest website: https://therelationshipexpert.com/   Free gift: 7 Days of Manifesting Love (exercises and affirmations): https://form.jotform.com/210198384576162   Book, "MAN*ifesting": https://www.amazon.com/dp/1637586701   Single to Soulmate digital course: https://app.gohighlevel.com/v2/preview/n1xIiJdsLnCaNTYk72OF  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therelationshipxpert/ Stay connected with Laurie: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lauriegerbercoach 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauriegerber_coach/ 💙 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lauriegerberdatingcoach 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriegerber 🎧 Podbean: https://lauriegerbercoach.podbean.com/

    Ep 38: A Man Tells the Truth About Why He Couldn't Follow Through

    What if the reason a man says he wants a relationship but never follows through has nothing to do with what you did?  On this episode of Love at Any Age, Laurie Gerber sits down with Jonathon Aslay, one of America's leading midlife dating coaches. They dig into a pattern that trips up so many women dating after 50: a man who talks a good game and vanishes right when things get real. Jonathon lived this cycle himself for years. Over 500 first dates, a divorce, and a financial collapse that sent him back to live with his parents at 42 came before the loss of his 19 year old son Connor in 2018, the event that finally broke him open. What came out of that loss is a diagnosis he now teaches thousands of women: this pattern almost always comes down to a self-love deficit, and it shows up in men just as much as in women. He and Laurie walk through how to attract healthy love by spotting that deficit early, the exact questions that expose whether a man is emotionally available, and why the answer usually has nothing to do with your picker. Laurie has spent over 20 years helping women over 50 stop guessing and start choosing wisely, and this conversation gives her audience something rare: an honest account from a man who has stood on both sides of this exact pattern. Self-love dating over 50 sounds soft until you hear a man name what was actually missing in him. If dating after divorce over 50 has you wondering whether you keep landing on the same type of man by accident, this episode is going to change how you read the next few weeks of texts, and it hands you a self-love practice you can start using on your very next date. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00–07:01 — The Pattern: Men Who Say They're Ready But Aren't 07:01–08:33 — Meet Jonathon Aslay: 500 Dates and a Self-Love Diagnosis 08:33–16:14 — Discovering the Self-Love Deficit Behind His Dating Pattern 16:14–18:04 — Divorce, Job Loss, and Hitting Rock Bottom in 2005 18:04–21:23 — Losing His Son Connor and Choosing to Grieve With Love 21:23–26:07 — How Gratitude and Compassion Became His Guiding Practice 26:07–33:13 — Healing Anxious Attachment in His Own Relationship 33:13–36:18 — Building Real Friendship Before Chemistry Takes Over 36:18–49:20 — The Questions That Reveal If He's Ready for Commitment 49:20–53:15 — Lightning Round: Why Men Pull Back After a Few Months 53:15–62:02 — His Book, Blind Spots, and Whether to Try to Fix Him 62:02–65:54 — What Self-Love Actually Looks Like on an Average Tuesday 🔗 Links & Resources Guest resources referenced in this episode: Jonathon Aslay's website: https://www.jonathonaslay.com Book "What The Heck Is Self-Love Anyway?"

Most women over 50 hit publish on their dating profile exhausted from the process, convinced they've done the work: good photos, honest bio, thoughtful answers. But a "fine" profile isn't enough.

    Are Your Dating Standards Keeping You Single?

    Are your dating standards protecting you, or are they keeping you single? Many women over 50 build strict rules about height, income, and chemistry to avoid getting hurt again. Some of those rules work. Others just keep the wrong walls up. In this episode, Laurie Gerber answers 6 real comments from Love at Any Age listeners about dating over 50. She covers whether trauma can distort a woman's Head, Heart, and Hoo-ha scores, responds to the wife-appliance complaint, and settles whether an 8-out-of-10 attraction standard is fair. She also runs the math on height and income deal breakers and asks whether introversion is a dating liability. Laurie has spent 20 years helping women over 50 build lasting, healthy love.

    He Stopped Texting. Is He Busy or Pulling Away?

    If his good morning texts suddenly disappear, is he just busy, or is he already checking out and how can women over 50 tell the difference? For six weeks it felt effortless, then the good morning texts vanished, replies started taking 6 or 7 hours, and every attempt to bring it up got waved away with “you're overthinking this.” That's the kind of quiet unraveling so many women navigating dating after divorce over 50 know by heart, the moment excitement tips into second-guessing and nobody can quite say when it started. In this episode, Laurie Gerber teams up with Andrea Knoche, host of the podcast From Mrs. to Ms. and her co-host on Menopause Love Lounge, to work through 3 real dating scenarios women over 50 sent in: a man who's suddenly harder to reach, an ex-wife who never really leaves the picture, and a boyfriend who wants “ongoing” but won’t label the relationship. Together they dig into the dating red flags over 50 that are easy to miss and the situationships that can drag on for months.
