About this episode

This episode explores patterns and lessons from women who found love after 35, based on real stories and insights gathered over six years.

This is a special bonus episode following the Love After 35 email series, where I’ve been sharing real stories from women who met their partners later than expected (many in their late 30s and early 40s). After collecting dozens of submissions over the past year and interviewing women on this podcast for over six years, I've noticed clear patterns in how women find love after 35. In this episode, I'm breaking down the seven most common patterns and what you can learn from them. The 7 Patterns: The struggle before the shift - What every woman experienced before meeting their partner Divine timing and serendipity - The unexplainable moments that led to love Building a beautiful single chapter - What women were actually doing while single The work that preceded love - What changed internally before they met their person Surrender and acceptance - The mindset shift that opened them up It felt different - Why the right relationship doesn't always feel how you expect The advice they all give - What every woman says to her younger self Join the Turning Community If these stories resonate with you and you're thinking "I want that to be me," come inside the Turning Community…
