This week started with me feeling completely unmotivated… and ended with a big win I didn’t see coming.

After weeks of waiting and assuming we didn’t get it, I got the call—and it was a yes. One of those moments where you realize the feeling you had all along? It was right.

From there, I went down a rabbit hole on age-gap relationships (thanks, Netflix), and now I have questions. Like… how big is too big? Because the stats say one thing, but real life—and some of these couples—say another.

I also share my own experience dating older, my thoughts on what actually works, and we take a quick detour into some truly horrifying dating profiles… because apparently people are out here saying anything.

And to top it off, my kids remind me that age gaps hit very differently depending on where you are in life—because a sixth grader dating an eighth grader is, apparently, scandalous.
