Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads of the heart, where the map of love seems to have been drawn in invisible ink?

This episode is a heartfelt narrative filled with laughter and vulnerability, a must-listen for anyone who's ever faced the daunting task of rekindling their passion for love while juggling the joys and challenges of self-discovery.
Francesca, aka Frankie, is a dynamic 40-year-old, juggling roles as a wedding and event planner, devoted mother, and passionate traveler. By day, she crafts unforgettable experiences for clients at Smitten Events and manages the iconic Commodore Ballroom for Edge Catering. Off-duty, Frankie embraces life to the fullest, entertaining friends, exploring the globe, and enjoying outdoor adventures with her son. Despite recent changes in her love life, Frankie champions self-love and celebration, inspiring others to reclaim their joy. Residing in Langley, BC, Canada, Frankie believes in the healing powers of pizza, wine, and living authentically.
Topics covered:

• The societal pressure and stigma surrounding divorce and being a single parent.
• Importance of self-care practices like exercise and finding joy.
• Transitioning into the dating scene after Frankie's marriage ended.
• Exploring non-monogamous relationships and different relationship dynamics.
• Open communication, honesty, and navigating challenges in relationships.
• Managing expectations and enjoying the journey of self-discovery.

Here are some actions you can take whether you have 5 minutes or 50:

• If you have 5 minutes, check out Matthew’s YouTube channel where you will find hundreds of videos about dating, attracting a partner, feeling worthy, etc.

• If you have 50 minutes, check out Matthew’s new book Love Life, which hits the shelves on April 23. I have tuned into some of Matthew’s interviews promoting the book and I cannot wait to read this. His viewpoint on self-love was so profound that I shared that particular interview instantly on my social channels. I believe there may still be time to pre-order his book, which will give you access to some really amazing resources and content which is all free. He also has a live event coming up on Saturday, May 4 called Find Your Person.
