Dating With A Purpose Podcast

In the beginning, it felt effortless.  Laughter flowed, conversations stretched into the night, and every glance felt like a promise.  Everything was wonderful—almost too perfect. Then came the first real fight.  Not a small disagreement, but a storm.  Words sharper than intended.  Silences louder than before.  Two people suddenly on opposite sides of a wall they didn’t see coming. It hurt.  Not b...

When you start dating later in life, it’s not just your heart on the line—it’s your whole world. That includes your grown children, who’ve seen you through every chapter. Joy. Pain. Loneliness. Resilience. They’ve been there. So when you find someone new—someone who makes you laugh again, who listens to your stories like they’re hearing them for the first time—it’s both exciting and… a little scar...

 Two people.  Each with their own lives, their own dreams, and their own battles.  Busy schedules.   This isn’t just about love.  It’s about partnership.  About learning how to move forward—together—without losing who they are as individuals.  It’s about supporting, adjusting, and growing side by side.  Send us Fan Mail

They say traveling together is the ultimate relationship test—and let’s just say, we passed with flying colors... and a flying lawn chair or two. Our very first trip together was for a family reunion. Nervous? A little. Excited? Absolutely. It was more than just meeting cousins, aunts, and uncles—it was a chance to really see each other in a new light, outside our comfort zones, surrounded by stor...

It started with a conversation — the kind that feels easy, familiar, like you’re picking up where you left off even though you’ve just met. From texts to talks, from laughs to late-night check-ins, we got to know each other not just by asking questions, but by showing up. We’ve shared stories, dreams, road trips, playlists, coffee dates, and countless “you won’t believe this” moments. Send us Fan...

The first time Donna came to visit me in Kansas City, it was more than just a weekend trip—it was a declaration. She’s a small-town girl, through and through. Used to two-lane roads, waving at strangers, and gas stations that double as diners. So when she pulled into the city—hands gripping the wheel like it was a bull ride at the county fair—I knew this visit was a big deal. Send us Fan Mail

Here's an original emotional, reflective story that dives into the deeper meaning behind wearing a Super Bowl 57 championship ring—something far beyond the value of metal or stones.  I wear it now, not as a symbol of loss, but of life. Some rings don’t mark beginnings or endings. Some rings simply hold stories .  Send us Fan Mail

 It started innocently enough — random people mingling about, striking up light conversation.  Then someone noticed a glimmer, a sparkle. A bright shiny object on the left hand — and just like that, the conversation shifted. "Wait… is that what I think it is?" one woman asked, her eyes wide, voice rising with curiosity.  It was no longer just small talk. Suddenly, we were the story.  Sen...

I remember how you smiled when we first saw each other—equal parts confidence and nervousness. We talked about a variety of subjects, and the strangeness of dating again after all these years. We laughed easily. We paused at the same places. We didn’t try to impress—we just tried to be honest. And that felt like more than enough. Send us Fan Mail

 "Part One – Description of Our First Date"   All we knew was that two grown people—seasoned by life, cautious but curious—had said yes. Yes to dinner. Yes to conversation. Yes to the quiet hope that maybe, just maybe, this would be worth showing up for.  Send us Fan Mail

A deeply personal question, and it's a good sign that we ask it with honesty. Dating later in life brings its own set of unique challenges and opportunities, and the fact that even considering it means something inside you is still open to connection.  Send us Fan Mail
