What does dating look like in the second act of life? How do playful energy, self-awareness, and openness to new experiences shape romantic connections in later years?

From manifesting mansions and transformative dating retreats to the tension between ambition and vulnerability, this episode is packed with insights and stories both heartfelt and hilarious.
