We sit down with Terrain LeBeau to untangle dating after 35, from self-worth and mental health to practical non-negotiables that keep you out of avoidable heartache. The core message is simple and hard: love that lasts starts inside, and preference should never become your prison.
• defining success as calm communication and visible partnership
• confidence as an internal source, not external status
• attachment patterns from childhood shaping adult choices
• pre‑bedroom rules and safety as a standard
• the fixer identity and why projects drain you
• healing after breakups without rebounds
• where to meet value‑aligned partners in real life
• dating apps, filters, and trade‑offs
• aging, identity, and building durable value
