In this week’s episode of The Midlife Mentors Podcast, we’re joined by two incredible women who have spent years on the front line of love and relationships  - active daters turned true insiders - Julie and Yue.

They’re the powerhouse duo behind the award-winning Dateable podcast and authors of How To Be Dateable, a guide that’s helped countless people navigate the wild world of love in the digital age. 

Their work has been celebrated by the New York Times, The Huffington Post, Oprah Daily and so many others.

Julie brings her background in human-centred design and deep qualitative research, while Yue draws on her experience as a dating coach - together offering a rare blend of insight, humour and grounded wisdom.

In our conversation, we dive into expectations around dating at midlife, the biggest misconceptions, how apps have reshaped the landscape, and what’s coming next - whether the future is even more digital led, or if there’s a swing back to real-world connection. And of course, they share some brilliant tips to help you actually enjoy the process!
