This week, I’m reading Chapter 11: Trust from Attract the ONE, and let me tell you, this chapter is tender, personal, and powerful. If you’ve ever felt like trust was broken (whether by others or by life itself) this one will speak straight to your heart. I share the story of a simple necklace my best friend gave me that carried a big message: trust. That one word became my anchor during some of the loneliest seasons of my life. In this episode, I dive into what it really means to trust again...
In Chapter 10, I talk about what it actually looks like to let go. Not in theory, but in real life. I share the exact forgiveness exercise my therapist gave me during my divorce, the one that helped me stop carrying so much pain, anger, and blame. Forgiveness doesn’t mean saying what happened was okay. It means you stop letting it take up space in your mind and your heart. I walk through how I did it, what I wrote down, what I burned (literally), and how that one process made room for love to...
Chapter 9, Tools for Creating Joy. This chapter is all about joy. How to find it, create it, and hold onto it, even when life feels overwhelming. In this chapter, I’m sharing the exact tools and daily rituals that helped me shift my mindset, feel more grounded, and show up in life with more energy, more peace, and more love. I’m covering everything from journaling and gratitude to movement and music to show the practices that helped me feel like myself again. These small, intentional h...
Onto Chapter 8, "Undesirables." I’m sharing the truth about something we don’t always want to admit. Sometimes we attract people who lie, because deep down, we’re not being completely honest with ourselves either. I learned this lesson through attracting “teachers” with qualities I didn’t want (and dishonesty I didn’t want either), and it wasn’t until I took a closer look at my own patterns that everything really started to shift. This chapter is centered around real honesty. The kind w...
Chapter 7, Living Your Life As If You Can't Wait To Tell Him In this chapter of Attract the ONE, I’m talking about something that completely changed my perspective. Instead of waiting around for love to show up, I started living my life like it was something I couldn’t wait to share with my future husband. I share how I stopped feeling sorry for myself and started building a life that made me feel happy, fulfilled, and proud. From traveling solo to trying new things just because I wanted to, ...
Chapter 6, Creating Harmony in Your Home. This week, we’re talking about something I never realized would be so important. Your home. If you’re anything like me, you might not think a messy house has anything to do with attracting love. But let me tell you, when my house was in chaos, so was I. In this chapter, I share what it looked like when my kids were little and the house was full of forts, Nerf gun wars, and mattresses sliding down the stairs. I loved that my house was the place e...
Chapter 5, Transforming Your Beliefs. This week, we’re tackling one of the biggest things that can make or break your love life. Your beliefs. If deep down you think love is hard, that all the good ones are taken, or that you're just unlucky in relationships, then those beliefs are running the show. But here’s the truth: you have the power to change them. In this chapter, I break down how I rewired my mindset, the mantras I repeated daily, and the small shifts that helped me go from feeling ...
Chapter 4 of “Attract The ONE”! If you’ve ever felt lost in dating, this chapter is your road map. Your GPS. Think of your love life like a road trip. You wouldn’t just get in the car without putting a destination in your GPS and just hope you end up somewhere amazing, right? That’s exactly why you need a soulmate list. It’s the GPS. This is the part where you get crystal clear on what you actually want in a partner. Not just the vague “nice, funny, and kind” checklist, but a detailed, speci...
This week we’re getting into Chapter 3, The Boss List. This is where things start to shift. If you’ve ever felt like you were this close to leveling up but just couldn’t quite get there, this chapter is for you. I talk about the moment I realized I wasn’t going to attract a badass partner until I felt like a badass myself. And let’s be real … I wasn’t quite there yet. I had things I was avoiding, things I knew would make me feel better, but I kept putting them off. That’s when I created my Bo...
Every love story is beautiful, but mine is my favorite. This week, I’m sharing Chapter 2 of Attract the ONE, and this is where the real magic begins. If you’ve ever doubted whether true love is actually possible for you, this chapter might change your mind. I take you through the moment I stopped waiting for love and started becoming the person I wanted to marry. I share how one wedding toast completely shifted my mindset, how a simple conversation at a dealership turned into something I neve...
This week, we dive into Chapter 1 of “Attract the ONE”, and it’s a big one. After my divorce, I was convinced something was wrong with me. Like I was wired differently. Like I was missing the "relationship chip" everyone else seemed to have. I stayed busy, focused on my kids, but deep down, I was stuck in old beliefs that told me I wasn’t enough, that love just wasn’t in the cards for me. In this chapter, I talk about the years I spent believing I was damaged goods, the experiences that shape...
This week, I’m doing something different. I’m starting a new series reading my book Attract the ONE. You can get a free copy of the printed book (just pay for shipping) on my website, but because so many people prefer to listen to books, I wanted to make the audiobook free! I’ll be releasing one chapter a week, so the entire audiobook will be available for free forever! This week I read the preface. If you’ve ever felt like love keeps passing you by, if you’ve been stuck in dating cycle...
In this emotional episode, I sit down with my Aunt Sherry to hear her incredible journey from a childhood marked by uncertainty, adoption, and resilience, to a life filled with love, family, and healing. Sherry was adopted in 1960 by my grandparents, but her story starts long before that. She shares raw, heartfelt memories of growing up in a small trailer, the painful separation from her sister, and the moment she realized what "adoption" really meant. Through it all, she found strength in th...
