In this episode, we’re stepping into the world of later life romance, companionship, desire and connection.

We hear from people discovering new partnerships after decades of marriage, from those navigating dating and more.  

We’ll talk about grief and renewal, sexuality and intimacy, independence and togetherness, and the courage it takes to love again, because love and older age isn’t a footnote, it’s a chapter.

Ita Buttrose is one of Australia’s most respected public voices, has witnessed and shaped six decades of social change and joins Jacinta to discuss her frank reflections of sex and love in later life in her memoir Unapologetically Ita.

Professor Deirdre Featherstone Hoare from the Australian Center for evidence based aged care at La Trobe University, talks about some of the biggest myths or misunderstandings about older people when it comes to love, romance, intimacy and sexuality.
