Finding love after divorce is not easy, but it is often hilarious. Marlowe Lenard explains why she joined dating apps, why she left dating apps, a surprise matchmaking session, and how finding love after divorce is teaching Marlowe a new meaning of self-love. After a painful divorce, Marlowe spent years diving into her new routine and interests and, eventually, was ready to date. Marlowe didn't anticipate her new dating life impacting every relationship around her: deepening her friendship with her ex-husband and pulling her female friendships closer, as she spent hours with friends laughing at the awful selfies on most dating apps. This episode allows Marlowe to share how she met her ex-husband, connected with Leo, and was introduced to The Chef. Each relationship contributed to her new understanding of love: that every relationship will teach us something new about ourselves and that every romantic relationship does not have to lead to marriage, no matter how magical the connection is. Episode 7 of Authentic with Marlowe Lenard will challenge anyone looking for love, whether divorced or not, to stop looking and start connecting. Connect with your happiness, prioritize joy, and take yourself to dinner, not with the expectation of meeting a significant other, but as an expression of gratitude for your life. Join Marlowe as she describes her ideal way to meet a partner and her current views of love. For Marlowe Lenard, being authentic means admitting that she desires a committed relationship and choosing to allow the Universe to dictate the timeline.

Marlowe Leonard welcomes Laura Khan, Social Alchemist, Energy Coach, and Cosmic Mother, to share the transformative power of authenticity and vulnerability in relationships. Laura recounts how their friendship blossomed through social media, where after working around each other for years, they could express their true selves and desire to get to know each other better. Intentionally sharing their passions and interests on social media allowed Marlowe and Laura to connect deeper and inspired Laura to invite Marlowe to attend her fortieth birthday party in Arizona. Authenticity and vulnerability are key themes in Marlowe and Laura’s friendship and this episode. Marlowe discusses how vulnerability allows individuals to hold space for themselves and others, creating an environment where real emotions and experiences can be shared. She notes that traditionally, in corporate office settings, vulnerability is often perceived as a weakness, leading people to hide behind facades. However, when individuals choose to be vulnerable, they open the door to authentic connections and "successful" relationships and partnerships. Laura reflects on her journey, stating that her interest in leaving her corporate job was possible once she saw Marlowe take the leap. "I just needed a breath of fresh air of somebody choosing themselves, even though you don't know what else is on the other side," explained Laura Khan in Episode 6 of Authentic with Marlowe Lenard. The episode illustrates that embracing authenticity and vulnerability can lead to significant personal transformation. Marlowe and Laura push each other to explore their true potential, but their relationship is not competitive. Their friendship is rooted in mutual support and encouragement, and this dynamic allows them to create weekly touch base calls, integrate their lives and travel to Egypt, where the two are recording this episode.

Marlowe Lenard welcomes her grandparents, Nanny and Pappy, to discuss authenticity and what it means to be self-aware. At 100 and 95 years old, respectively, this episode of Authentic is a thought-provoking conversation about the necessity of prioritizing oneself to create a fulfilling life. They emphasize that happiness comes from within and the value of giving yourself what you seek in the external world. Happiness starts at home and YOU are home. The discussion also touches on the significance of continuous learning and self-awareness, highlighting how our brains absorb information that shapes our understanding of authenticity. Join us for an insightful dialogue encouraging listeners to embrace their authentic selves and take charge of their happiness. Marlowe Lenard, her Nanny, and Pappy reflect on the notion that happiness cannot be handed to someone by external sources. Instead, it is a state of being that must be cultivated through self-acceptance and self-care. The conversation encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and pursue what genuinely brings them joy rather than conforming to societal pressures or expectations. “You have to be careful about the friends you choose, things you read, things you listen to from all your senses," explains Nanny. This advice points to the idea that the influences we allow into our lives can significantly impact our sense of authenticity. By being selective about the information and relationships we engage with, we can create an environment that supports our authentic selves. Moreover, the speakers discuss the ongoing journey of self-improvement and learning. They emphasize that authenticity is not a destination but a continuous process of growth and self-discovery. The idea that "you never stop learning" reinforces the notion that individuals should remain open to new experiences and perspectives, which can further enhance their understanding of themselves and their authentic desires.

Marlowe Leonard reflects on the beauty of life and the power of individual perspective. Marlowe expresses gratitude for the heartfelt feedback from listeners of all ages, highlighting the connections formed through shared experiences. She emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and authenticity in shaping our relationships and how our perceptions can mirror our self-view. This solo episode offers encouragement to find and spread the beauty in everyday life. Marlowe discusses the multifaceted nature of relationships and their varying purposes throughout our lives. One of the key insights she shares is that the end of a relationship does not necessarily signify failure; instead, it can indicate the completion of a lesson meant to be learned. Marlowe Lenard categorizes relationships into three distinct types and how they impacted her life, each with its significance: Casual Relationships: brief encounters that may leave a lasting impression but do not profoundly affect our lives. Transitional Relationships: relationships fall into this category, including friendships, romantic partnerships, and even marriages. Marlowe Lenard emphasizes that when these relationships end, society often views them as failures. Lifelong Relationships: these relationships are not always easy but essential for our personal development. By focusing on the lessons learned rather than perceived failures, Marlowe illustrates how we can navigate the complexities of relationships with a more positive mindset. This shift in perspective allows individuals to appreciate the value of each relationship, regardless of its duration or outcome. This perspective empowers us to embrace each relationship's lessons, fostering a deeper appreciation for the journey of life and the people we encounter along the way.
