Episode 83: Dating in Midlife

Episode Summary In this episode of Sisters Social Call, Krista opens up about what it's really like to date in midlife, the good, the awkward, the unexpected, and everything in between. Krista shares her experiences of dating in her 40s with plenty of honesty, humour, and a few stories along the way. Stacey joins the conversation with questions, laughs, and her perspective from the sidelines.  As always, they end their episode by checking in with each other through their Peaks, Pits, and Plans.
