Welcome to a special episode from Mamamia's podcast for Gen X women, MID. 

This episode is all about all. Specifically, it’s about finding it in your MID years. Maybe for the second, fourth, first time.

This is a story about Dr Amantha Imber, an organisational psychologist who got divorced a few years ago. When Amantha knew she wanted to re-partner, she went about it with a typical approach to efficiency - going on more than 50 first dates in her first stint of online dating.

Those dates had strict rules and boundaries, time limits and schedules and… they didn’t work. So then, Amantha drew up a brief and cold-called a long list of people in her circle who might know the person she was looking for…. But… well, that didn’t work either.

You can learn more about Amantha and follow her work here.

You can purchase Amantha's book The Health Habit here.

You can also listen to her podcast, How I Work, here.

THE END BITS: 

You can listen to our second ever episode was called the Mid Life Dating Pool Has Wee In it, and it was about Catherine Mahoney’s chaotic app-dating world and it was very very funny here.

You can listen to our episode with Divorce & Separation coach, Nikki Parkinson, here.
