Finding the Magic, Just in Time

Modern Love

About this episode

When Clare Cory was a young girl, she dreamed of love. But by the time she turned 50, Clare hadn’t found it. Still, she took a look around and found she was happy and was looking forward to the future. Clare fell in love with life. She saw a flower bloom, watched sunlight sparkle on the water and held her cat on her lap. Her heart was full. 

Then, to her surprise, as Clare faced cancer and was about to turn 60, romance arrived. 

On today’s episode, Clare explains how she fell in love and began sharing her life at a time when she least expected.

This episode is adapted from Clare’s Tiny Love Story from 2024, "Finally Finding ‘The Magic.'"
