This Halloween, I’m sitting down with my internet friend turned real-life kindred spirit, Candace Cravalho. We dive into the chaos and comedy of modern dating — including one story that still has me laughing (and cringing). Candace shares her journey from divorce to relocation, from starting over in business to finally finding a love that feels peaceful and real. We talk about what it means to stop chasing butterflies, start trusting yourself again, and build a life that’s full — with or without a partner.

Takeaways:

• You’re never truly starting over — you’re starting again with experience.
• Don’t wait for a partner to start living your life.
• Knowing yourself is the real secret to attracting aligned love.
• True happiness often looks like calm, not fireworks.
• Financial and emotional independence are the foundation of healthy relationships.
