Two years after the breakdown of her 20-year marriage, Hilary Harper feels like she might be ready to date again. But the dating scene has changed a lot since she was last single in the early 2000s. 

Having never made contact with the world of dating apps and profiles, she feels overwhelmed wading into things again. How do you pick up the pieces and work out when you're emotionally ready to resume the quest for love? How do you figure out what you want? In our 40s and beyond, our priorities around relationships shift.

Hilary sets the scene, letting us know what she's weathered and how her heart got to a place where she might be able to put herself out there again.
