Episode #15 Three Ways to Meet Mr. Right After 40 Part 2: Singles Events

If you're a single woman over 40 and ready to meet Mr. Right, you're in the right place! This is Part 2 of my 3-part series on the best ways to meet him this year—not five years from now, not in some vague future, but now. Today, we’re diving into social and singles events, a strategy that I know works.Why Singles Events?I get a lot of pushback when I bring this up, and I totally get it—I had the same doubts before I met my husband. Maybe you’ve thought:“There are no events for my age.” (Translation: I feel too old.)“There won’t be enough men there.” (And if there are, we’ll all be fighting over them.)“These events are just awkward and lame.” (Speed dating with a lock-and-key gimmick? No thanks.)Sound familiar? If so, let’s flip that mindset. Because the truth is, these events work when you approach them the right way.Shifting Your MindsetInstead of seeing these events as doomed before they start, I want you to adopt this perspective:Every event you attend is a step in the right direction. It’s about taking action, not obsessing over the outcome.You’re showing the universe you’re serious. The more intentional you are, the more opportunities you create.Your energy is powerful. Just by putting yourself out there, you’re opening doors you didn’t even know existed.Dealing with Doubt & EmotionDating can bring up a rollercoaster of emotions—frustration, resentment, disappointment. I’ve been there. That’s why I recommend having a daily emotional check-in. Here are some journal prompts to help:What am I feeling about dating today?What do I believe is possible for me when it comes to love?How can I make dating more fun and lighthearted?How am I supporting myself in this process?If you can’t find the right event, create one! Here are some ideas: Start a singles book club, hiking group, or coffee meetup. (Your local library or community center can help.) Host a dinner party where everyone brings a single friend. Organize a singles improv night. (One of the most fun events I ever attended!) Find singles-specific events on Meetup.The key? Be intentional and stay open. Even if an event doesn’t lead directly to Mr. Right, the energy you put into the process will lead you closer to him—sometimes in the most unexpected ways.In the final part of this series, we’ll cover another powerful way to meet Mr. Right after 40. But for now, I challenge you: Find one singles event in your area and commit to going! Then, let me know how it goes—I’d love to hear your experience.See you in the next episode!I hope you enjoyed the show! Please hit subscribe and leave a review.
