GLD 572 - Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams Jul 28, 2026

Show notes

Sometimes the best love stories don't begin in your twenties - they begin after you've stopped looking. Brian welcomes "Golden Sex Podcast" host Diane Marie Carty for one of the most candid, entertaining, and surprisingly inspiring conversations ever on The Great Love Debate.
After spending 14 years focused on family, caregiving, and simply surviving life, Diane had all but written off romance. Then came an unexpected meeting, an unforgettable first date, and a relationship that completely changed how she views love, intimacy, aging, and happiness. The conversation explores:

Why so many people unknowingly take themselves out of the dating game
Life after divorce and caregiving
Rediscovering confidence after 50
The surprising realities of dating later in life
Why chemistry has no age limit
How one chance encounter can change everything

It's funny, vulnerable, provocative—and a reminder that your next great love story could be waiting just around the corner.
