TrueLuvTake2 is reimagining how love begins later in life — with intention, community, and a deeply human approach. Researchers, journalists, and podcasters: this is a conversation your audience hasn't heard before.
Millions of adults over 50 are open to love — and largely underserved by every existing platform. Researchers, therapists, journalists, and podcasters have been sounding this alarm for years. We curate their work here because the conversation validates what you already know: this moment deserves something better.
"The data tells us the problem is real. The question was never whether love after 50 matters — it was whether anyone would build something worthy of it."
— Monique Alemán, Founder, TrueLuvTake2Perfect for podcasts, panels, newsletters, and media appearances exploring midlife, relationships, aging, and modern connection.
Romance scams have become an epidemic disproportionately targeting adults over 50, costing billions annually. Monique makes the case for why real identity verification and a trusted circle of advocates isn't just a feature — it's a fundamental act of respect for people who deserve better than the internet's status quo.
Read her thinking →Most dating platforms assume the right partner lives nearby. But for adults over 50 who have already built a full life, the question isn't convenience — it's alignment. Monique explores what opens up when you stop filtering by zip code and start filtering by values, readiness, and depth.
Read her thinking →What happens when the people who know you best want to help you find love? Monique explores the beautiful and often untapped role adult children play in a parent's search for meaningful companionship — and why family isn't an obstacle, it's one of the most underused resources in modern dating.
Read her thinking →You wouldn't hire someone for an important role based on a photo and a two-minute conversation. Yet that's exactly how most adults approach finding a life partner. Monique challenges audiences to bring the same discernment they use in their careers to the most important decision of their personal lives.
Read her thinking →The data is staggering — and largely invisible in mainstream culture. Monique unpacks what it means that millions of emotionally available, experienced adults are being systematically underserved by every existing platform, and what changes when we finally take this population seriously.
Read her thinking →The connections that felt electric but quietly fell apart weren't lacking chemistry — they were lacking readiness. Monique introduces a framework for emotional, relational, and practical readiness that is changing how adults over 50 think about entering a new chapter of love and companionship.
