    Ep. 1 - It's Not Over Until It's Over

    After 14 years of near-celibacy following her divorce, host Diane Marie Carty wasn't looking for love — she was just looking for an empty seat at a wedding. What she found instead was a connection so electric it blew the lid off everything she thought she knew about sex, intimacy, and what's possible after 65. In this debut episode, Diane shares the real, unfiltered story of her journey — from devoted stay-at-home mom who felt invisible in her marriage, to first-level sommelier, to the woman who walked into a pleasure shop whispering and walked back out three years later saying "give me everything you've got." With roots in a medical family and her own pre-med background, Diane brings both heart and honesty to the conversations most people are afraid to have. She opens up about widow's fire, rediscovering your libido, why older lovers might surprise you, and the moment she decided to stop waiting for permission to feel alive again. Provocative, hilarious, and deeply inspiring — this is the episode that started it all. Because the best sex of her life? It happened after 65.
