Love Before 100

Tune in for a heaping dose of dating horror stories as I cross "Juggling multiple men" off my bucket list. Also, I found my fireman. I invited my friends, The Money Mavens (Josie May and Charlotte Balbier) to help get my mindset right around the “numbers game of dating.” Whether you’re trying to land a partner or a client, these abundance mindset tips will keep you on top of your game. You can find the Money Mavens at www.instagram.com/the_money_mavens

I’d love to hear from you! Let me know if you have any questions or takeaways, if you have any stories to share or if you’re making your own bucket list (or have ideas for mine)!

This is the part of the story that my BFF's husband calls the “rom-com.” Best first date ever, arguably the best second date ever, and a long-distance fling. Ending with crossing something massive (the number one item) off my bucket list (no spoiler alerts). Let the games begin!

The Glow Up and the Big Reveal!  I know this usually comes at the end of the season, but I’m not big on waiting.

This is my Cinderella story (if Cinderella was a divorced 46-year-old mom of two)!  In May 2020, I sat at my heaviest weight ever and I wrote in the notes app on my phone: “magic I want to call in - amazing hair cut, amazing hair, miraculous weight loss and glow and energy.”

Fast forward to now…check check check check!! There was a glow-up. (Links to manifest your own glow up below.) Listen to how it all panned out ending with the rom-com meet-up, I’d always dreamed of.

You’ll also hear all about how my epic dating bucket/scavenger hunt list was created. In this episode, we are crossing off…the glow up…duh.
