In this episode of Single Girl Woes, I sit with a pattern that keeps resurfacing in my life at 46. Lack of time.

From marriage to past relationships to whatever this current space is, time continues to reveal what words try to cover. I unpack two different dynamics. The man who moves like he is doing me a favor and questions how I am moving when I am unavailable. And the career driven man who says he misses me but never quite aligns his schedule to actually see me.

We talk about inconsistent communication, being penciled in instead of planned for, and why wanting time, presence, and consistency is not asking for too much.

Maybe it is not about time.

Maybe it is about choosing better.

If you are dating after 40 and starting to recognize patterns, this episode is for you.

Dating after 45 requires clarity, boundaries, and honesty.

In this episode, Elle reflects on a Love Day that shifted after showing up for a friend and a revealing conversation with someone from her past. When being clear gets labeled as “mean” or “controlling,” it raises bigger questions about partnership, ego, emotional maturity, and timing.

This episode explores the tension between wanting love and refusing to shrink, the frustration of modern dating, and the uncomfortable thoughts about fate when love feels delayed.

An honest look at dating, standards, and self awareness in midlife.

Valentines Day can feel loud when you’re single. In this episode, Elle shares an honest conversation about choosing yourself, releasing pressure, and creating meaningful moments without forcing plans or romance.

From her fun era to her first Valentines Day after divorce, this episode explores redefining love, recognizing real interest versus last minute energy, and enjoying your own company without lowering standards.

Pair this episode with the Today, I Choose Me Journal, available on Amazon. A guided journal for reflection, intention, and choosing yourself daily.
