Dating After Divorce: My Sister’s Teen Mom Story & Our Roast of the Worst Dating App Profiles

Okay, this one? A true emotional rollercoaster.

Lizzy (my actual sister, not just in vibes - she's legally my sibling) is back on the pod, and we are talking about everything. From her journey as a teen mom, to both of us getting divorced, to dating again in our 30s and how different our experiences have been...it’s all in here.

There’s a story in here where Lizzy had to fake passing out just to get medical care. There’s a man who felt the need to clarify “I’m not gay” in his dating profile. There are espresso martinis. There is chaos. And now there's you.

We get into:

• Lizzy’s teen pregnancy and marriage/divorce story
• What it’s really like dating post-divorce (spoiler: UN-HINGE-D)
• A savage roast of some of the worst dating app bios we’ve seen (and saved for your listening pleasure)
• What we actually want in a relationship now, and why we won’t settle for less
• The comforting joy of ginger ale and Lorna Doones in a crisis

If you've ever faked enthusiasm for a man with “Bills Mafia” in his bio, this episode is for you.

What you’ll walk away with:

• A reminder that you’re not alone in the mess
• Permission to laugh at things that were once not funny
• Sisterly advice on what red flags to dodge like your life depends on it
• Deep validation if you’re feeling like love is broken - it’s not, the apps just might be

Highlights & Time Stamps:

• 00:00 – Sisters’ reunion & immediate chaos
• 02:30 – Lizzy’s teen‑mom journey + unexpected hospital trip
• 16:00 – My divorce story + re‑starting life and self‑worth

• 36:20 – What we really want in a partner (and why we’ve changed)
• 42:00 – Wrap‑up, sibling shout‑outs, next episode tease

Not every episode will be about dating, I promise. But this one? Absolutely had to be. Part two is coming soon, and you’ll want to be here for it.

Love you. Mean it.

Now go swipe left on that man holding a fish.
