🧠 Nervous? Totally Normal.
Mel gets it.
After surviving a brain aneurysm and stroke, she had to relearn how to talk, walk, and rebuild her life — word by word, day by day.That journey taught her something powerful:
Connection doesn’t need perfect words — it needs heart, patience, and presence.
You’ll be guided by someone who’s lived it — who knows what it means to start again, and who believes every “messy beginning” is a masterpiece in progress. 💛
Still unsure? This is for you if:
You’re single and ready to meet people who get your energy — driven, optimistic, and playful.
Maybe you:

• Have no kids and love your freedom, friends, and passions.
• Have little ones under 5 and crave adult conversation that doesn’t involve snacks or nap schedules. If your kids are over 5, you're in a different stage. Mel will get you in the right group.
• Or you’re somewhere in between — just wanting a real connection with people who understand this wild, in-between stage of building and becoming.

You might be:
✅ Focused on growth — your career, health, art, or adventure.
✅ Curious about love but not desperate for it.
✅ Exploring who fits into your life — not trying to fit into theirs.
✅ Excited by good conversations, laughter, and new experiences.
You’re not looking for perfect. You’re looking for real.
