Your 20s are for making mistakes and your 30s are to be able to learn from them.

And I think about that not only with relationships, but also friendships and careers as well.

Definitely.

Did you ever have a moment where you sort of felt like giving up on finding love throughout those years or even when you came back?

I found a few of my experiences and the...

I guess, raft between where my friends were at.

And I was at quite disheartening at times.

When I came back, it was when the apps were really booming.

And so it was great that we had access to that.

And it was a new form of dating.

But yeah, I didn't have, you know, I guess it depends how you define success, but I wasn't able to find the one.

I was single for about five or six years before I met Sean and lots of great stories.

Um,

But nothing really solid that I could wrap my hands around.

Did you change anything about your approach before you met Sean, do you think?

I think there was a lot of growth.

And I think it's that whole, you know, I know it's such a cliche, but it's like, you know, it's when you really know yourself and when you feel truly comfortable in yourself that

that's when you'll be ready.

I know it's easier said than done, but that was definitely my experience as well.

And I remember, you know, people say to you, it's a numbers game.
