  • dating in your 30s 40s and 50s.

    I had such a great experience joining James Preece on his podcast to talk about dating your 30s 40s and 50s.

    James has a natural way of creating space that feels both relaxed and engaging, which makes it easy to have real, meaningful conversations. He asked thoughtful questions, listens deeply, and brings a level of insight that elevate the entire discussion.

    It’s clear he truly understands the complexities of modern dating, and he has a gift for drawing out perspectives that are both practica... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How To Find Your Purpose And Love When You're Multi-Passionate
Q: So do you help people who are multi-passionate find their purpose?
Soulfeather says they do, but approaches purpose through intentional day-to-day actions and a desired way of being rather than requiring a fixed mission or long-term vision. They encourage people to explore what they want to feel and practice embodying it.
How To Find Your Purpose And Love When You're Multi-Passionate
Q: Can you explain exactly what you mean to you when you say multi-passionate? Because I would say before you answer, I'd like to ask two questions at once to confuse people. That's what I do. I think there's possible downside to this as well, about being someone that's claiming to be multi-passionate. They might also be someone that's avoidant or scared of commitment. Two questions in one, but the same question. Can you just explain your thoughts on that?
Soulfeather distinguishes being deeply curious and committed to multiple interests from abandoning something whenever it becomes difficult or stops delivering external results. They add that the same person may experience both patterns at different stages of life, and may later recognize a common thread connecting their interests.
Bored of Dating Apps? Discover Kasalyst’s Members Club Revolution
Q: What is your advice for someone that's new to an event? How do they break the ice for somebody?
Kate Sime advises relaxing and using the activity as a natural conversation starter. Both founders emphasize that they will host events, welcome members and help them feel at ease, while reminding attendees that other people may be nervous too.
Bored of Dating Apps? Discover Kasalyst’s Members Club Revolution
Q: So what exactly is Kasalyst?
Sarah Nicoll describes it as a private members club for singles over 35. The founders meet prospective members, then organize hosted social events, workshops and talks, with activities intended to make people comfortable and help them connect.
Was Dating Better Before Dating Apps?
Q: How did you go from being single to starting Dinner Dates and turning it into a nationwide social events business?
I transitioned from theatre and performance into matchmaking after a dare, offering dinner parties with a structured format that encouraged mixing across ages and interests, which organically grew into a large, repeat invitation-based network.
