I’m Carol, founder of Flipping Fabulous — a coaching space for seniors who want companionship, connection, and joy in their later years.
My journey inspired me to help others over 65 find confidence, clarity, and safety in today’s digital dating world
For 48 years, my identity was beautifully simple: I was a wife to the man I loved. We built a life, a family, and a half-century of shared shorthand. But in my professional life, I was someone else entirely. For 40 years, I served as a Senior Manager of Health Care Fraud, deep in the trenches of uncovering deceptions and protecting the vulnerable. My career also encompasses the role of an auditor, where I was trained to notice objective assessment and evaluate processes to make recommendations for improvements. I spent my days spotting the “red flags” that others might have missed. I have been groomed for the coaching.
Then, life flipped.
When I became a widow, I found myself in a world I didn’t recognize. The dating landscape had shifted from dinner parties and mutual friends to a digital wilderness of apps, screens, and “catfishing.” Like many women my age, I felt the sting of ageism and the very real fear of being scammed. I felt the weight of a question many of us face: Is there room for a second act after a legendary first one?
I realized that my 80 years of life hadn’t just given me memories—they had given me a Superpower.
I decided to combine the investigative precision of my career with the deep emotional wisdom of my marriage. I navigated the trials, the errors, and the “wrong” decisions of modern dating until I found a path to authentic, joyful connection.
I founded Flipping Fabulously because no one should have to navigate this journey alone or afraid.
At 81, I am a “Later Dater” who believes that life doesn’t just continue after 65—it flourishes. Through my Six Foundational Pillars, I help you bypass the scams, silence the self-doubt, and find a relationship that honors the person you are today.
I’m not here to give you a “replacement” for your past. I’m here to help you flip the script on your future, ensuring your heart is open, but your security is ironclad.
