Ever wonder if it’s possible to start over—emotionally, romantically, even financially—at 60? In this episode, I talk with Victoria, a powerhouse of resilience who walked away from a 30-year marriage, faced down fear, and built a brand-new life from the ground up. We explore what it really takes to leave a relationship that looks fine on the outside but feels empty on the inside, how to trust yourself again after decades of self-doubt, and why reinvention isn’t just possible—it’s powerful. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re too old or too late for lasting love, Victoria’s story will show you what’s possible when you finally put yourself first.

What You'll Hear:
I talk with Victoria, a sharp, 72-year-old Love U graduate from Phoenix, who rebuilt her life and love story after a 30-year marriage ended in her 60s.
You’ll hear how she went from terrified and isolated post-divorce to confidently dating—and why she rejected the belief that women over 60 are “undesirable.”
We discuss why opening yourself up to men from different backgrounds (not just your “type”) can lead to unexpected, fulfilling connections.
Victoria shares the powerful mindset shift that helped her let go of “good guys” who weren’t a true fit—without guilt, drama, or wasting years.
We explore how she learned to embrace her feminine side and allow men to “do for her,” even though she’s perfectly capable on her own.
You’ll hear the story of meeting her current partner online at 68, navigating a long-distance relationship, and creating a deep, mutual adoration.
We unpack why “easy” and “agreeable” are underrated traits in a partner—and how to look beneath the surface to find lasting compatibility.
Victoria reveals what she wishes her younger self knew about choosing the right man, and why she believes love is possible at any age.
Finally, she explains how Love U’s community and male perspective on dating helped her rewrite her relationship future.

They make me happy. I have nothing to promote today. There's no sale.
There's nothing big going on. The big thing going on is that I am doing the latest in my series of interviews with former Love U members. Today's interview is with a very special friend.
Her name is Victoria. Victoria, welcome to the Love U podcast. Thank you, Evan.
We've been talking for a half hour prior to this because the gardener with the leaf blower was in my backyard. It feels strange to start a conversation when we've already been in mid conversation covering a lot of ground. I'm really excited because Victoria, out of everybody that I've ever worked with, has a really, really strong voice.
She's almost like a second coach in my private Love U Facebook group. She does some of the dirty work that I don't want to do sometimes. She's someone whose opinion really, really matters to me.
For those listening, I think even though she's a stranger to you,
