What late bloomers want others to know

In this episode, I'm chatting with Allora Dannon, who went on her first date ever at 32. She's now engaged, and we're discussing everything from how to bring up your lack of experience on a date to navigating physical intimacy when it's all brand new to grieving the timeline you thought you'd have while still moving forward. Whether you're a late bloomer yourself or you want to better support someone who is, this conversation is packed with encouragement and practical advice for anyone who's ever felt "behind." At the end, we tackle a dating dilemma about whether inconsistent texting is a real dealbreaker or a sign of self-sabotage.
