We’re Not Alone

Recently discovered this podcast & it has quickly become my favorite! Listening to Laura, her guests & listeners help me to realize I’m in great company! Never did I think I’d find myself in the dating scene at 64 but here I am…Thank you Laura for covering a much needed subject matter so perfectly! Keep it going!

Keeping it real

As a 60-something woman who has been divorced 20 years and is actively dating, Laura’s podcast is honest, touching and often very funny. Laura is a gem.
