Dating over 50 isn’t what people think.
It’s not about giving up—it’s about choosing peace.
People ask me all the time why I’m not dating. And honestly…the answer usually surprises them. After 34 years of working as a nurse in the ER, a divorce, and a lot of life experience, I have learned something important about relationships, independence, and peace.
In this video I share the real reasons I stopped dating at 55 years old. Including a memorable night shift in the ER that completely changed how I looked at relationships. I also talk about the funny and eye opening stories that made me realize sometimes being single isn’t a problem…It’s freedom.
From the “gun cabinet” story to my mom’s famous advice about men looking for a “nurse or a purse”, this is an honest conversation about choosing peace, protecting you energy, and building a life you actually enjoy.
And yes… sometimes I do the math and realize I can just work an extra shift instead of dealing with the drama. I call that nurse math.
Tonight it’s just me, Fran , the remote control, and a bowl of ice cream- and honestly, that’s a pretty great life.
