Our guest today on the She Could, So She Did Podcast- Dating After Divorce in Your 40s, is Dr. Shane Perrault, Ph.D! Dr. Shane is the author of the book, The Black MANual: Less Drama, More Love -- a Single Woman's Guide to Choosing Mr. Right. Whether you are single, divorced or widowed, and looking for Mr. Right, when you are an African American woman the rules are different! You face a starkly different reality than your non-black counterparts. Nevertheless, Dr. Shane Perrault, Ph.D. (Dr. Shane) has learned “It is never too late to live happily ever after.” In this episode Dr. Shane shares what three key criteria should be on your list when looking for Mr. Right.  In 2004, Dr. Shane founded the African American Marriage Counseling.  Whether you just heard, "I love you, but I'm not in love with you," are trying to rebuild trust after a marital affair, need to replace distance with closeness, need to forgive (or be forgiven), or are trying to avoid separation or stop a divorce -- Dr. Shane employs Gottman Institute's research based methods to help couples develop the skills needed to hear (and be heard), resolve conflicts in a "win/win' vs a "win/lose" fashion, and speak each other's "love language" so that you can try and make peace with the past and get past the hurt.   --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
