At 26, she met her first husband through someone she trusted, someone who came from a great family. They got engaged two years after they met, and Andrea thought it was a fairytale. Her marketing career was booming, and they married a year after getting engaged. Right after the wedding, Andrea saw a lot of red flags, and they both realized they never should have married. After 8 months, they called it quits.
After the divorce, in her early 30s, Andrea traveled the world for her career, did a lot of self-growth work and therapy, and really got to know herself and what she wanted. She also dated a lot and was active on the apps — though as soon as she started seeing someone, she'd stop dating anyone else.
In her mid-30s, she met her second husband on Tinder. He was divorced and already had children. There were red flags Andrea didn't see, including a personality disorder. Within 1.5 years of meeting, they got married — and it was a disaster again. After that divorce, Andrea picked up the pieces and gave herself time before jumping into another relationship. She knew she had to do something different.
Andrea found Bela and Smart Dating Academy and loved the different approach. The photos, the profile, the whole SDA experience repositioned Andrea in the online dating world, but more importantly, it repositioned her internal confidence. What was truly different about her date coaching experience was getting underneath the root cause of her dating issues, including her attachment style. With her updated profile, Andrea started getting a lot of great responses.
