Growing up in Rio de Janeiro, Flavia Lemos thought she'd marry a Brazilian man, have a family and life happily ever after. Then she was rejected by potential love interests 29 times (yes, she counted!) and had to face a difficult reality about her ability to have children. Flavia tells Laura how she stays so positive as she navigates the ups and downs of life, actually.

From breaking off an engagement to finding true love after 40, Dr. Karin Anderson Abrell is proof you never have to force yourself to settle on anything in life. A champion of the single woman and the single experience, Karin talks with Laura about choosing not to get married to the wrong guy and how it led her (eventually) to the right one.
