In this enlightening episode of *Behind the Swipe*, host Hoyt Prisock sits down with writer Betsy Morris to explore her deeply personal and inspiring journey back into the dating world after divorce. Betsy shares insights from her blog series, *Adventures in Online Dating*, touching on themes of overcoming anxiety, navigating expectations, creating an authentic profile, learning to filter potential matches, and experiencing personal growth through the process.

Betsy opens up about her initial fears and the courage it took to take the plunge into online dating, much like standing on the edge of a diving board. She discusses the challenges of presenting oneself authentically in a dating profile and the importance of self-discovery and adaptability. Her story is particularly relevant to listeners following our ongoing *Julie's Journey* series, which documents the real-time experiences of Julie, a newly divorced woman re-entering the dating world.
