Dating in midlife can feel like a minefield—swiping, bad dates, and wondering if you’ll ever meet the right person. But what if there was a better way?

In this episode, I sit down with Kerstin Rao, a midlife dating coach who went from disaster dates to finding her perfect partner by building a dating system that actually works. She shares her most outrageous dating fails (yes, there was a convicted felon), but more importantly, she explains how to date with confidence, clarity, and strategy—without wasting time on the wrong people.

✔ Why random dating leads to random results (and how to fix it)

✔ The biggest mistakes midlife daters make—and how to avoid them

✔ How to get crystal clear on what you actually want in a partner

✔ Why dating multiple people at once can help you make better decisions

✔ How treating dating like a career search can get you better results

Midlife dating doesn’t have to be exhausting—with the right mindset and system, it can actually be fun.

We rarely talk about guilt at work, but many of us carry it every day—without realizing how much it shapes our decisions, stress levels, and even our happiness.

This week’s Joy at Work Experiment was inspired by David, a high-achieving professional who reached the top of his field only to feel disconnected and guilty for no longer loving his work. His story made me examine my own hidden guilt, and what I found was surprising.

When I did this experiment, I found that guilt crept in when I felt I didn’t allocate enough time to others or when I was so absorbed in work that I overlooked small but important moments. Recognizing this helped me adjust my calendar and approach, leading to less guilt and more self-compassion.

Give it a try. Ten minutes of reflection could change the way you experience your workday.
