Welcome back to Conversations Spoken in the Dark with your host, Hermence Matsotsa—where we ditch the filters and speak the truths we usually keep to ourselves.

In this episode, I sit down with the bold and brilliant Jamia S. Dixon for a no-holds-barred conversation about dating after 40 and getting married at 50.

Jamia keeps it real—from navigating dry dating pools and ghosting culture to holding boundaries, honoring your worth, and finally saying yes to love on her terms.

We talk about what changes when you’ve done the inner work, raised your kids, built your career—and you’re no longer interested in shrinking, pretending, or settling just to be in a relationship.

This isn’t your typical “love story.” It’s a grown-woman, real-world, unfiltered talk about love, desire, second chances, and what it means to choose yourself first—before letting anyone else in.

🎧 Get ready for laughs, gems, and some seriously relatable moments.
Let’s get into it.
