EPISODE 15

Wrestling With Rejection

If you are putting yourself out into the world of midlife dating, you will probably come face-to-face with rejection. The trick is to not let it turn you into a cynic.

It's easy to succumb to cynicism after missed connections, bad dates, ghosting, you name it. But remember, love thrives on belief, hope, optimism, and JOY.

In episode 15, Nancy emphasizes the importance of playing catch and release with cynicism, addressing it head-on to keep the search for midlife love lit with positivity. The choice to make finding love fun is in your hands. Don’t let the rejections take you offline. If you need to, you can always take a break, charge your batteries, reset, then send yourself back out there.

Nancy shares a personal tale of rejection during her Chicago dating days – getting dumped by a pro wrestler! Learn how she bounced back and overcame the emotional sting. The lesson is this: Rejection may hurt, but it's not the end of your love story.

You can and will attract people who believe in love by putting positive energy forward. Nancy delves into the profound connection between how we react to past rejections and how it shapes our dating future.
