Grown Ass Woman

At 64, gallery owner Joanie Townsend has survived two failed marriages, launched a thriving business, and celebrated the power of friendship. But when modern dating-with its helicopter "wow" dates and cryptic texts-enters the picture, she's determined to live on her terms.

Tremaine, 70 and a retired professor, refuses to be tamed. Independent, sharp-tongued, and refusing to apologize, she's navigating singleness (and occasional sparks) with fierce honesty.

Dana, 51, balances a corporate career and a long-term marriage. While she's the voice of reason for her single friends, she's not immune to the pull of fresh perspectives and vulnerability.

Together, these women discover that love, at any age, demands tough boundaries, courage, and self-respect. They explore online dating, rebound flings, polyamorous possibilities-always reminding themselves a Grown Ass Woman, doesn't get played. With humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom, they show that dating later in life at "grown-ass age" isn't about settling-it's about thriving.
