Ep 99: Life Lessons, Dating After Divorce & Aging Without Apology with Crane & Margaret Crane

What does it really take to sustain a 38-year creative partnership — and deep friendship — through divorce, death, relocation, reinvention, and every life curveball in between? In this candid and inspiring conversation, co-authors Margaret Crane and Barbara Ballinger share the unfiltered truth about writing together for nearly four decades while navigating the realities of life after 50. Authors of Not Dead Yet, Suddenly Single After 50, and Kitchen Conversations, and creators of lifelessonsat50plus.com, they dive into: ✨ What makes a long-term creative collaboration actually work ✨ Making new friends in your 70s ✨ Navigating adult children and the empty nest ✨ Why neither of them plans to remarry ✨ Barbara’s 350 internet dates (yes — she kept a spreadsheet!) ✨ Margaret’s bold move from St. Louis to NYC ✨ Cutting toxic friendships without guilt ✨ Why sex can get better with age ✨ The freedom that comes from putting yourself first From aging without apology to taking risks later in life, Margaret and Barbara prove that life after 50 isn’t about slowing down — it’s about reinvention, courage, and rewriting the rules. Whether you’re navigating divorce, contemplating a major move, adjusting to an empty nest, or simply wondering how to maintain meaningful friendships as you age, this episode delivers wisdom, humor, and the kind of candor that only comes from decades of lived experience. If you believe your best chapters may still be ahead — this conversation is for you.
