Monica and Scott

Jodi knows that dating can be challenging - especially in your late 30s and beyond. A successful businesswoman, she found herself navigating the dating world later in life. Jodi realized there was no place that demystified the dating scene and offered support, inspiration and camaraderie to female daters in midlife. That’s why she created First Date Stories. Jodi has hosted 56 interviews with women who have extraordinary dating tales to tell and dating coaches on the First Date Stories podcast. She is the author of the book "First Date Stories: Women's Romantic and Ridiculous Midlife Adventures," which was published by She Write Press and writes for this blog.
