About this listen

In this episode of Love Unfiltered, host Charmaine Myeni, a 41-year-old mother of 2, shares her candid thoughts on modern dating and why she’s decided to take a break from it. She explores the shift away from old-fashioned love, the challenges single women (especially mothers) face in the dating world, and the stigma surrounding being unmarried at 40.

She offers 10 powerful and thought-provoking tips for:

  1. Single women over 40 looking for love on their own terms.
  2. Women stuck in dead-end relationships afraid of growing alone.


Key takeaways include:

  • Self-Love & Worth: A relationship doesn’t define your value.
  • Dating with Intention: Don’t settle for less out of fear or societal pressure.
  • Healing & Growth: Love yourself first, set boundaries, and don’t chase potential.
  • Redefining Love: Romantic love isn’t the only love that matters—embrace friendships, self-discovery, and personal fulfillment.


The episode closes with a reminder that being single at 40 isn’t a failure—it’s an opportunity for growth, freedom, and the chance to find real, meaningful love (starting with yourself).


💡 Tune in for real talk, unfiltered advice, and a fresh perspective on love, dating, and self-worth.
