To Travel or Not: The Ethics Behind the Trip

The Kaimin Cast

11:59

Most women I talk to over 40, 50, and 60 say the same thing: “I never thought I’d be here, dating at this stage of life.” And let’s be honest, midlife dating often gets a bad rap. But the truth? It can be the BEST time in your life to find real love… if you know how to approach it. In this episode, we talk about why dating now can be easier, more authentic, and more fulfilling than ever—and how shifting your perspective can change everything. Episode Highlights: Why dating now can feel easier and more authentic than ever The freedom that comes from wanting—not needing—a partner How showing up as your true self changes who you attract Why self-acceptance is magnetic How trusting yourself shapes every choice you make in love Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Dating Over 50: Why It’s the Best Time for Love 00:53 Meet Hilary 01:47 Midlife Dating Truths 02:07 Reason 1: Maturity & Clarity 03:44 Reason 2: Desire, Not Need 05:08 Reason 3: Authentic Self 07:06 Reason 4: Confidence & Magnetism 08:52 Reason 5: Self-Trust & Boundaries 10:28 Why It’s Never Too Late for Love Dating now isn’t about chasing chemistry or proving your worth—it’s about finding a true, equal partnership that adds to your already beautiful life. ✨ I’m Hilary Silver, LCSW, former psychotherapist turned master coach and founder of Ready for Love.

There’s a new proposal in the Montana State Legislature that would create a gun registry for enhanced concealed weapons permits. As of February 2021, Montana no longer requires a permit to legally carry a concealed handgun in public. This means Montanans can now discreetly carry a handgun without a background check. But is anyone actually going through the process of getting their concealed carry license when they aren’t legally required to? We spoke with UM students to get their thoughts on handgun culture, in college and out.

Montana boasts over 30 million acres of public and protected lands, but around 5% of those spaces are inaccessible to the public. This is because the land is considered privately locked, also called corner locked. Accessing corner-locked land is called corner crossing, an illegal practice preventing recreationists from reaching Montana’s around 1.56 million acres of hunting, fishing and hiking areas.

This might be working, considering Congress held an official hearing on Nov. 13 to further uncover what, if any, government organizations know of UAPs. Of course, talks of UAPs come with the discussion of alien life. And for that, University of Montana scientists have their own grounded perspective to add.

A Kaimin Q&A with UM President Seth Bodnar 33:08

It’s been a hell of a year at the University of Montana. Over the last two semesters, students protested misogynistic and racist professors, worked to oust law school leadership for bungled Title IX complaints, set record attendance at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, boosted UM to its first overall enrollment increase in a decade and shook off the dust of the COVID-19 pandemic. UM President Seth Bodnar, a corporate executive and special forces commander-turned-education administrator, was at the center of many of the issues that mattered to students this year. In a February opinion piece he wrote, “Our job as leaders in higher education is not to quell dissent or resolve debate, but rather to sponsor that spark within our students.” In that spirit, Bodnar agreed to sit for an interview with the Kaimin, answering our questions and questions solicited from students on the Oval and in the University Center.
