Who Am I Now? Dating, Confidence, and Reinvention After 50

About this episode

What happens when the roles that defined you for decades begin to change - and you're told to "get back out there" before you're sure who you are now? Kimmy sits down with Wendy Ortiz, host of 50 Is a Mindf*ck, for a candid conversation about finding your voice in midlife. They talk about returning to dating after a long relationship, grieving friendships, breaking people pleasing habits, and navigating the gap between how you feel and what you see in the mirror. Wendy shares what starting a podcast after 50 taught her about change, while Kimmy makes the case that flirting, dating, and confidence are skills you can practice. If you're ready for a new chapter, you don't need to have it all figured out before you begin. You'll learn: You can meet yourself again at any age. The roles of parent, partner, and professional may change, but that creates room to decide what you want now. Dating is a skill you can practice. After years in a relationship, feeling rusty is normal. Confidence grows through experience. Friendship changes can bring real grief. Some relationships end as people grow in different directions, even when both people care. Finding your voice may change old dynamics. Speaking up, setting boundaries, and stepping away from people pleasing can lead to more reciprocal relationships. Feeling attractive matters more than looking perfect. Wendy and Kimmy discuss body insecurities, the pressure of seeing ourselves on camera, and giving ourselves grace. You don't have to have the next chapter figured out. Start exploring what brings you joy, whether that's dating, travel, friendships, or a new direction in your career.
