Is love in your 50s better than love in your 20s? 💖✨

Dating later in life hits completely differently. When you’re younger, it’s easy to focus on surface-level traits—like whether someone is cute or fun—without thinking deeply about long-term values or lifestyle compatibility.

Fast forward to your 50s: you know who you are, what you want, and exactly what you bring to the table. Dating with that level of self-awareness and intention opens the door to a deeper, more fulfilling connection than ever before.

@carolinasmatchmaker Laurie Berzack and host Colleen Odegaard dive into why finding love later in life can be the most rewarding chapter yet.

Have you found love later in life? Share your story below! 👇 Watch Wake Up To Your Life on the WCNC Charlotte streaming app today!

Are you accidentally sabotage-dating? 🍷🚩

When you’re nervous on a first or second date, it’s easy to over-pour the wine or dive straight into heavy conversations like past relationship trauma. But oversharing too early—or getting a little too loosey-goosey with your words—can send mixed signals and ruin a great connection before it even starts.

@carolinasmatchmaker Laurie Berzack breaks down why keeping the first few dates light, flirty, and focused on fun is the ultimate key to success. Save trauma deep-dives for date three and beyond!

What’s your biggest early dating pet peeve? Sound off in the comments! 👇

8.31 is National Matchmaker Day! 🎉

Plot twist: in 2025, dating apps saw their first-ever revenue decline, dropping over 1%. Meanwhile, matchmaking kept growing.

People aren’t giving up on finding love. They’re giving up on doing it alone, in the dark, one swipe at a time.

So today I’m celebrating every matchmaker who’s out here proving that real connection can benefit from a real human behind it.

Huge shoutout to the matchmakers who’ve inspired and uplifted me along the way. If you’re not in the photos, it’s not personal, I just wanted to share a few faces. Love all of Cupids & yentas 💕

Dating after divorce is not always as simple as “getting back out there.” 💙

In this podcast clip, matchmaker @carolinasmatchmaker shares why her business does not work with individuals who are still separated and the importance of taking time to heal, process, and prepare before entering a new relationship. And, why and when @nicolesodoma disagrees!

Laurie and Nicole also discuss the very real challenges many people face during and after divorce, from emotional exhaustion to parenting responsibilities, and why building a healthy relationship requires time, energy, and intentionality.
