Behind the Swipe

Hello…? I know. I ghosted you.
🎙️
No new episodes, no dramatic breakup speech, not even a “we need to talk.” Just… gone.
👻💨
But I promise, it wasn’t you; it’s ME. I’ve been deep in the weeds building something new — a podcast tool called Episonic that helps creators (including me) get back behind the mic without losing their minds.
🎛️ 🎤🎧
I’ll be popping up next week at Podcast Movement in Dallas (Booth 112, if you’re the curious type), but don’t worry — I haven’t forgotten what Behind the Swipe is really about: navigating dating (and re-dating) in the second half of life.
❤️
More to come. Maybe even an episode. 😉
Thanks for sticking around. You always WERE the patient one.

This week's delightful Behind the Swipe guest is Betsy Morris -- a yogi, logophile, and lover of God with a passion for health and wholeness. When not exercising her body and soul, Betsy enjoys girl trips, the discipline of journaling, and eating dark chocolate with a glass of red wine, which she insists is medicinal.

A recent empty nester, Betsy is the divorced mother of 3 human children and the dog mom of one golden-doodle who’d prefer to Netflix-and-chill than join Betsy for a run. Her University of Texas psychology degree and a Master’s in Social Work underlie her compassion for women struggling to reinvent themselves following the end of a long-term marriage.

Betsy and her adorable ‘doodle live in San Antonio, Texas where Betsy does her own yard work and tries not to overthink everything.
