This Life Gets Good

What Even Married Women Should Know About Dating as a Single Mom Over 40

Lauren Melton Episode 3

In this episode of This Life Gets Good, I share some very real, very honest reflections on dating in my 40s as a divorced mom and why feeling good in your body is not optional, but it’s foundational. I talk about how body confidence has completely changed the way I show up in dating, from feeling abundance instead of scarcity, to walking away from situations, behaviors, and relationships that don’t align with what I truly want. This conversation isn’t really about dating; it's about how confidence in your body shapes what you tolerate, what you settle for, and what you believe you deserve in every area of your life.

I also unpack an uncomfortable truth: this confidence didn’t come from a number on the scale, but from the habits, boundaries, and choices that made me feel strong, capable, and grounded in myself. If this episode brings up discomfort, envy, or a quiet desire to feel better in your own body, that’s not a flaw...it’s information. We talk about how feeling good in your body ripples into your relationships, career, finances, and boundaries, and why wanting that doesn’t make you shallow, it makes you honest.
