Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we welcome Heidi Friedman to the show, author of the book Love Lessons: 104 Dates and the Stories That Led Me to True Love.
After her divorce and stepping into life as a single parent, Heidi woke up one morning shortly after her fortieth birthday with a realization: she wasn’t sure she’d ever experienced romantic love.
So, she set out on a journey — one that would take her on 104 dates, and we’re going to hear about some of those experiences today.
We’ll talk about dating after divorce, dating as a single parent, and what it means to find love. We explore the fears, the logistics, the judgment, and the hope — and how even after the loss of a previous life, love can still surprise you.
Because dating in your 40s isn’t about starting over — it’s about beginning again. Which is kind of the same thing, but you get it!
Alright Flirties, let’s do this, and meet Heidi!
