## Caption

Dolly Parton’s death cracked open something unexpected for Jaimie, and in this week’s episode of @lovetaketwopod , Jose Rolón and Jaimie Kelton turn the mic on themselves. What starts as a conversation about grief and music quickly becomes a deeper check-in on what they’ve truly learned from nearly two seasons of guests who shared their second acts.

They talk about turning 50, what it’s like to be “almost 50,” and the surprising moments that come with getting older—like being assumed younger. Jose opens up about sharing his home with partner Thomas after a decade living fully on his own terms, and Jaimie shares what raising kids in New York City taught her about love, tradeoffs, and doing your life anyway—even with challenges.

And woven throughout: the throughline they keep noticing in guest after guest—people stop holding themselves back… and then they just do the thing. Because it’s never too late to start over. 
If this episode hits you, you’re not alone. Your second act can start now. . ✨ if you love what you see, shoot us a follow! 

And what’s an episode without some behind the scenes shenanigans?

Hosts: José of @nycgaydad and Jaimie of @thequeerfamilypodcast
