For this series we will talk about finding love after 50, but it can apply to any age group. Its about loving ourselves where we are and knowing our value, not settling for less.

We explore sapiosexuality - attraction to intelligence and deeper things than physical appearance; how that opens the door for us to be our authentic selves, loved for who we are not what we look like.

We will talk to a relationship/dating coach in this series, maybe more than one. We will also explore dark romance, have our eyes opened as we talk to author Addison Cain. Visit the website www.petalspeaks.com/podcast for more information on PetalSpeaks and the podcast and blog.

It's the After 50: Shades of Gray (hair, ideals, perspectives) - it's all gray from here.
