Season 3, Episode 23: Love and Life Lessons over 50

Author: Tati R. and Yaki E March 18, 2022 Duration: 56:15

This week, Yaki and Tati talk about an article on Essence.com from women over fifty who are imparting love and live wisdom that they wish they received when they were younger. We talk about those lessons and how we too, have employed some of them in our lives.


In Hot Topics in Romance, we talk about Kanye's new Kim K Clone (or is it Klone??), Lil Durk and Low body counts (ugh), and Nicki Minaj's sex advice. In Watching Romance, we talk about The Gilded Age (HBO), Tati's recaps of The Courtship (NBC), and her new love of Grand Crew (NBC/Peacock).

In Reading Romance, we talk Dating Dr Dil by Nisha Sharma, A Walk in the Park by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Audible Exclusive) and our upcoming Spring 22 Romance Reading List.

In Listening to Romance, we talk Good Moms, Bad Choices, a podcast about sex positive and weed forward moms. Listen here.
