<description>&lt;p&gt;Writer Kerri Sackville and her partner Mike join Cam and Ali in the bathroom today — learn why we'll be inspecting the toothpaste tube once they leave!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In her books, and as a columnist for the &lt;em&gt;Sydney Morning Herald&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Age, &lt;/em&gt;Kerri has documented her journey through marriage, divorce and years of dating in mid-life. Her most recent book &lt;em&gt;The Secret Life of You: How a bit of alone time can change your life, relationships, and maybe the world &lt;/em&gt;is about embracing solitude. But in learning to be content by herself, Kerri also found love.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There's much to learn from Kerri and Mike's unconventional love story. Listen as they discuss dating in mid-life, the distinction between loneliness and solitude, why being single is better than being with the wrong person, and Kerri's quirky method of cutting bread.&lt;/p&gt;
