Dating in your 40s isn’t always easy — the dating pool feels smaller, past heartbreaks shape how you love, and the pressure from society, family, or even the church can feel heavy. In this episode of Vibes with Jojolicious, Josephine sits down with her friend for an honest, faith-filled conversation about the real challenges and joys of dating after 40.

We talk about:

💬 How dating in your 40s is different from your 20s and 30s

💬 Navigating trust, vulnerability, and past experiences

💬 The reality of dating apps at this stage of life

💬 Finding balance between career, responsibilities, and relationships

💬 Encouragement and wisdom for women who feel like it’s “too late for love”

Whether you’re single, dating, or waiting, this episode will remind you that your worth is not defined by your relationship status — and God’s timing is always perfect.
