Dating Again After 30 Years: Victoria Vaughn on the Frogs She’s Kissed

Dating Again After 30 Years: Victoria Vaughn on the Frogs She’s Kissed

After 30 years of marriage, Victoria Vaughn found herself newly single in her 50s — and back in a dating world that looked nothing like the one she left. She landed many dates, but many of them weren’t what she expected.

She calls those dates “frogs.” But through those experiences, she gained a much clearer understanding of what she wanted, what actually matters in a partner, and why finding the right person often starts with being true to yourself.

"Don’t try to put a square peg into a round hole … don’t settle."Hear Victoria talk about:
  • What it’s like to date again after 30 years off the market
  • Why dating later in life comes with more complexity and more clarity
  • The unexpected realities of finances, baggage, and honesty in dating
  • Why you might be a “frog” to someone else — and what that means
  • How she recognized her “prince” and what made him different
  • The lessons she wishes she knew before she started dating again
  • Her husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis and why she supports the Michael J. Fox Foundation
