After years of dating in New York City, including two serious relationships and countless app encounters, I found myself back in the suburbs at nearly 36. I was single and surrounded by silence instead of city buzz. The pandemic had forced a massive reset, and suddenly I was navigating breakups, loneliness, and the challenge of dating from scratch. I know what it’s like to wonder, “Am I too late?” or “How do I even begin again?” At times, it felt like everyone else was moving forward while I was stuck in place. But through therapy, honest conversations with friends, and a lot of trial and error, I rebuilt my confidence and redefined what love and companionship meant to me. I also leaned into helping others—friends who were struggling with divorce or unhealthy relationships, women who were unsure about starting over later in life. I’ve walked the path of heartbreak and rebuilding, and I’d love to be there for anyone who feels like they’re standing at the edge of what comes next.
