And I didn't know how to navigate it. I was totally lost. And then things sort of reached a crescendo. My mom was dying of cancer and I woke up to a miscarriage.

Oh man, this is a big conversation. There's lots of different reasons. One is that we live in a time where women are making more money than ever and are more independent than ever.

I think now, you know, at least for the women I work with, Most women, they want to be with someone who's financially stable, but what they're looking for more is someone who's emotionally supportive, right?
