Modern Dating Post-Divorce: Lessons Learned & Green Flags

What does dating after divorce actually look like in your 40s? When the apps have completely changed, the rules feel different, and you're trying to figure out who you even are outside of the marriage you just left?

In this episode of The Scarlet Edit, I sit down with Elizabeth Rowan — yoga teacher, fellow divorcee, and someone who has been in the trenches of midlife dating right alongside me. We swap real stories, real mistakes, and the hard-earned lessons that only come from navigating relationships after divorce.

We talk about:

What dating after divorce in midlife actually looks like — the overwhelm, the learning curve, and the moments that surprise you
How dating apps have changed and the new terminology you need to know as a newly single woman in her 40s
Setting boundaries after a long-term marriage and learning to trust your own judgment again
Why the vulnerability of putting yourself out there after divorce is terrifying and necessary at the same time
The evolution of self-worth after divorce — how to stop settling and become more intentional about what you want in a relationship
Rituals and self-reflection that helped us process the end of our marriages before jumping into something new

This episode is for anyone who has been through a divorce and is trying to figure out how to date again with intention and confidence — whether you're newly single, still healing, or just wondering what modern dating after a long relationship really looks like.
