Not long ago, Sarah Franklin’s friend saw a man in a Kroger parking lot that was just her type. Her friend hooked them up and they went on a date! Sarah shared the story on TikTok and it’s been seen over 2 million times- a testament to random encounters, matchmaker friends, and fun story time!

Sarah joins Laurie on this week’s podcast to talk about Kroger man, her dating life and about her own personal journey to learn and love herself.

Sarah is an optimistic, enthusiastic, hype-girl who by day is an association professional and special event makeup artist. By night, she shares dating insights on TikTok. She became a single-mom five years ago after divorcing the only person she ever dated. She has navigated the dating world with a lot of humor and collected great stories along the way -- she's learned to love herself through faith, fitness, and reflection.
