She met her ex-husband and he was very good on paper. But she found herself having butterflies (danger alert) and love bombed. He sent her flowers, poetry, said that he loved her in less than a month and asked her father for her hand in marriage less than 2 months after meeting although she hadn’t even met his family, friends, or kids. Linda ignored those red flags and they got married 2 years after they met. She felt like he wasn’t trustworthy. He went MIA, yet he had to keep tabs on what she was doing. He slowly started to dim Linda’s light by saying and doing things to make her feel smaller and smaller. About 7 years into their marriage she found out about his infidelity and Linda decided to talk to a divorce lawyer.
After her divorce, Linda started with a couple of mantras, like saying “yes”, and started getting out there again being fabulous and getting back to her old self. She went on a bike riding tour through Sicily and Portugal and she climbed Machu Picchu, which were all part of her new mantra of saying “yes”. She started to market herself again and was introduced to Bela by a mutual friend who was a client of SDA.
When Bela and Linda first talked, Bela told her that there was a lid to her pot. During their jump start session they really went into identifying her type and her ideal man. They talked about people that make her happy and built a list of characteristics for her ideal man from there. Linda realized that being kind was one of the things she loved about her friends and Linda was shocked to notice that this particular characteristic was never on her list. Linda got some gorgeous photos from her photoshoot and she started to go online on the apps. Lindsay helped her fix her picker and guided her through picking her dates.
