Dating doesn’t have to feel like the awkward lunchroom of middle school — and in this episode, we’re showing you exactly how to leave that behind. I’m joined by our very own Smart Dating Academy coach, Kathy Citera, who brings her trademark humor, wisdom, and lived experience to the table.

Kathy knows firsthand what it’s like to re-enter the dating world — she candidly shares her journey from post-divorce dating at 50 to becoming a coach who now helps others navigate dating with confidence and joy. Together, we talk about how dating can feel less like a chore and more like an adventure.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

  • Why dating feels like “middle school” for so many adults — and how to shift out of that mindset.

  • Post-divorce dating at 50: Kathy’s real-life lessons on rediscovering yourself and dating authentically.

  • How to bring fun, joy, and levity into dating without losing seriousness about your goals.

  • Knowing yourself first: Why self-awareness is the biggest game-changer in dating success.

  • Practical tips to “make dating fun again” — and why having the right mindset can change everything.

This is a heartfelt, laugh-out-loud, and refreshingly honest conversation about dating — no games, no gimmicks, just straight talk on how to enjoy the process again. Whether you’re just getting back out there or you’ve been swiping for years, you’ll walk away feeling lighter, more hopeful, and ready to see dating as an adventure rather than a test.
