Girlfriend We Gotta Talk

The High Road Has Less Traffic

 Monique never thought she would be the 40-year-old, divorcee.  Then, life happened.  A mom with two young children, she looked for a roadmap with a positive strategy for surviving divorce.  And, she wanted a book that spoke to her like a “girlfriend” - honest and blunt, faithful and funny, sarcastic and heart-felt.  She never found that book so as she worked through her divorce with the help of friends and family, she decided to create for others what she always wanted.

Today at 3 pm Eastern on Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show we’re talking with Monique Honaman, author of The High Road Has Less Traffic:  Honest Advice on the Path Through Love and Divorce.  We are looking forward to hearing her lessons learned and inspiration for going through loved lost with your head held high.
 

Adventures in Dating After 40

When it comes to love, if you’re a women over 40 then chances are this is “not your first rodeo” as Susie is fond of saying.  You may be single again or you may have never found one worth keeping in the first place.  Regardless, you’re out there dating and it’s completely different than when you were “ah-hem” younger.  Our girlfriend the Dating Goddess can help.

On Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show we talked with the Dating Goddess, a midlife woman who, after her husband of 20 years surprised her with a divorce announcement at age 48, turned her search for her next mate into an adventure.  She chronicled her lessons, insights, stories and advice in her popular blog called Adventures in Delicious Dating After 40.

Plus, based on her “hands on research” after dating over 91 men in three and a half years, she recently released a series of 13 books that cover topics every dating woman over the age of 40 needs to know, from getting started, qualifying a man before agreeing to meet, breaking up with grace, ironing out dating wrinkles, and sex!

No matter who we are, where we live or what we do, we all seem to want that lasting state of unconditional love - the kind of love that doesn’t depend on another person, situation, or romantic partner, and that you can access at any time and in any circumstance.  It’s a tall order, but our guest Marci Shimoff offers really help.  She’s the author of Love For No Reason: 7 Steps to Creating a Life of Unconditional Love. 

We loved talking with Marci two years ago about her New York Times bestselling book Happy for No Reason.  So, when we heard about her new book, we had to have her on the show with her again!  Just like Happy for Reason, her new book Love for No Reason draws on cutting-edge scientific research, time-tested wisdom from cultures across the globe, interviews with experts, and practical tools and techniques.

A Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex

We’re kicking off a whole month of Love Is In The Air with a topic that we hope will kick things up a notch for our girlfriends on Valentine’s Day – and beyond. 

All of us in the United States know that February 14th is the day we celebrate our special love, but for many a girlfriend who have multiple responsibilities or are otherwise just plain worn out, the exciting, tingling feeling of V-Day is about gone.

How do go from “Honey, I’m too tired” to “Honey, I’m waiting”?  We found out talking with Dr. Laurie Mintz, psychologist, professor, and author of A Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex.  We loved some of her oh-so-memorable statements to help us reclaim desire and reignite our relationship, such as:

"Communication is the bed-rock to makes your bed rock!"

"Ask your husband to engage in more chore-play."

"Men are microwaves and women are crock-pots."
