It started much earlier, in foster care. Moving from house to house, never feeling rooted, I learned what it meant to be unwanted. But I also learned something powerful — how to create belonging.

In fact, more than a decade ago, I was a divorced single mom, trying to figure out how to rebuild my life from the ground up. No business background. No financial cushion. And definitely no blueprint for “success.”

If you had told me then that I’d one day be the founder of Last Year Single™ — a movement that’s helped over 1,600 singles get engaged or married — I would have laughed (or cried) in disbelief.

When I found myself standing at another crossroads after my divorce, I decided to bet on one thing: me. With no business background and no road map, I leaned into my faith, my calling, and my belief that love is still possible — not just for me, but for every woman who's ever been told she’s “too much” or “not enough.”

I’m living a life that once felt impossible. I’m the founder of Last Year Single™, a community that’s seen over 1,600 people find love and marriage. I’m a matchmaker and creator of Spirit Mate Match, a service that’s helping people meet their future spouse. I’m the author of a bestselling book that tells my story and invites women to believe in theirs.

My kids

I know what it feels like to be stuck in a cycle of waiting and wondering if love is still possible.

I know what it feels like to doubt yourself and wonder if you’re worthy of more. But I also know what happens when you decide to break the cycle.

One bold decision can change the whole story.

And I’m living proof of that.
