Have you been told that romance isn't a thing with modern men? Or romance doesn't exist in relationships that aren't brand new? I debunk all the hearsay around romance and share some solid proof from my own marriage and other women's relationships that romance is alive and well. I also talk about why romance novels and romance-themed book STORES are doing so well right now. Join me!

This is the true love story of a woman named Jess who is autistic. She never expected to fall in love, so she built a beautiful, fulfilling life with friends, activities and a Golden Retriever. She bought a house. But at 40, a surprise encounter with a younger man changed everything.

Hers is one of the stories from my upcoming book, Love Will Find You. Real Life and Love Stories for Women 35 And Beyond.

This week my husband joined me to discuss what he had on his Love List and if I matched everything he wanted. We also talk about what we value in each other; What we learned from past relationships before we found each other; How trust and fidelity works for us; And some bits about our nomadic lifestyle. I hope you are encouraged by what we share.

This is the season finale for Season 1. The new season will begin in 4 weeks. I'll be getting the last writing on my book done and off to a proofreader and looking for a cover designer during these weeks away from the podcast.

Rom-coms would have us thinking love is about running into the guy from high school that was too into himself to ever notice us; but then one day (usually over the Christmas holidays in the small town we left 20 years ago), we cross paths. And BAM! The fireworks are undeniable. We leave our corporate jobs in the city and move to the farm with him and we live happily ever after. Um, no...

When you do find someone you think could be "the one", it's important to make sure they're able to face the hard parts of life with maturity and hope. In this episode, I share the questions to ask to open a conversation about important things, things that could make or break a relationship. I also share how my husband and I have hard discussions and come out better for them. I hope you give this episode a listen.

Sometimes we have ideas about who's in our league and who isn't for dating; or we put up barriers that make it nearly impossible to attract the love we desire. In this episode, I talk about Anne Hathaway's new rom-com for midlife women; how my friend (who's 58) recently got engaged in Paris; and why you should expand your expectations in dating.

Here's the podcast I was a guest on last week. I talked about how WBL was birthed and what I dream of it accomplishing. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/70-todra-payne-passion-project-women-being-loved/id1647880274?i=1000651737341

It seems everyone on the Internet has an opinion on how feminine, submissive, young, traditional, etc. women have to be to find real love. I've got a different perspective based on the experiences of women who've already found the love of their lives - at 35 or later. You don't want to miss this.
