Navigating Dating Apps Mid & Post Divorce

Send us a text

In this episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on my personal journey through dating apps during and after my divorce. Trust me, it’s been a ride. From steamy sexting surprises to real-life lunch dates gone sideways (hello, napkin-mopping man), I’m opening up about the hilarious, cringe-worthy, and totally unexpected moments that come with putting yourself out there again.

If you’re navigating dating apps after a long relationship, trying to rebuild confidence, or just need a laugh and a little validation, this episode is for you. I share what I’ve learned, how I handled the red flags (and the red faces), and why your healing journey truly matters when it comes to who you attract and how you show up. This one’s honest, fun, and might just remind you that you’re not alone in this wild dating world.
