Escaping Scientology: A Story of Survival, Starting Over & Finding Love With Anne Gollert Hill

Your Age Is Not Your Cage: Why Dating in Your 60s Is Better Than Ever with Judith Colletti

What if losing everything was the beginning of finding yourself? In this inspiring episode of Shot At Love, Kerry Brett sits down with Judith Colletti, a woman whose life story proves that your age is not your cage. Judith's journey is one of extraordinary resilience. She ran away and married her first husband at just 19 years old, became a single mother of two, discovered while nine months pregnant that the man she planned to marry had given her fake divorce papers and was still married, uncovered a shocking family secret after her father's death, lost her business, lost her home, and found herself rebuilding her life from the ground up. But this isn't a story about what Judith lost. It's a story about what she gained. Today, Judith is in her 60s, thriving, dating, building a successful transportation company, and inspiring others to believe that no matter how difficult life becomes, there is always a way forward. Together, Kerry and Judith discuss: • Why self-love is the foundation for rebuilding your life • How unresolved trauma can impact relationships and decision-making • What it takes to recover after losing a business, a home, and financial security • The mindset shifts that helped Judith reinvent herself time and time again • Why she started driving Uber to rebuild her life from scratch • How gratitude became her secret weapon during life's darkest moments • What dating looks like in your 60s and why Judith believes it's her best decade yet • Why living in the present moment creates more happiness than chasing perfection • The importance of embracing your story instead of hiding from it Judith's message is simple but powerful: your circumstances do not define you. No matter where you are today, you can choose to move forward, reinvent yourself, and create a future that excites you. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to start over, this episode is your reminder that some of life's greatest chapters begin after the hardest setbacks.

The Secret Life of a Sapiosexual and Son of a Preacher with G.A. Pimpleton

The Secret Life of a Sapiosexual and Son of a Preacher with G.A. Pimpleton This episode dives into why authenticity is the attractor and why being yourself is your greatest advantage. What happens when a self-proclaimed "walking red flag" sits down to talk about love? In this unforgettable episode of Shot At Love, Kerry Brett welcomes financial guru, entrepreneur, storyteller, and larger-than-life personality G.A. Pimpleton for a conversation that's equal parts hilarious, provocative, and surprisingly profound. G.A. is the kind of man your mother warned you about—yet somehow you end up talking to him for hours and can't tear yourself away. A self-described dream maker, son of two preachers, father of four daughters, and unapologetic individualist, he's built a life on his own terms and isn't interested in being anyone but himself. Together, Kerry and G.A. explore what it really means to be authentic in relationships, why so many people fall in love with someone's "representative" instead of the real person, and how embracing your flaws can actually become your greatest superpower. From his famous five dating questions and his obsession with ambition, intelligence, and personal growth, to his thoughts on loyalty, vulnerability, trust, and why love requires a daily choice, G.A. delivers one unforgettable story after another. The conversation dives into everything from childhood influences and dating standards to the challenges of finding a true partner when you know exactly who you are and what you want. Love him or hate him, one thing is certain: you won't forget him. In This Episode: * Why authenticity is more attractive than perfection • The dangers of falling in love with someone's "representative" • G.A.'s famous five questions for determining relationship compatibility • Why ambition and curiosity are non-negotiable qualities • The role loyalty plays in building lasting relationships • How childhood experiences shape adult dating patterns • Why embracing your quirks makes you more memorable • The daily choice required to sustain love and commitment • Why the right people will always appreciate what makes you different Shot At Love Takeaways: 1. Embrace Your Flaws Your imperfections aren't something to hide—they're often the most relatable and attractive parts of who you are. 2. Stop Trying to Blend In The people who are meant for you won't be attracted to a watered-down version of you. Be memorable, not average. 3. Love Requires Courage There are no guarantees in relationships. Every day requires trust, vulnerability, and the willingness to choose someone again. 4. Curiosity Creates Connection The most meaningful relationships aren't built on appearances. They're built on conversation, growth, and genuine interest in one another. 5. Be Unapologetically Yourself The right person won't tolerate your authenticity—they'll celebrate it. Whether you're dating, married, rebuilding after heartbreak, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this episode is packed with wisdom, laughter, and a powerful reminder that being fully yourself is the greatest relationship strategy of all.
