Speaker 2:Thank you so much. I am so happy to be here with you, Carrie.
Speaker 1:Well, it is such an honor to have you here today. I wanna share the listeners how we know each other. Your sister is the famous comedian, medium Maureen Hancock, and she's one of my very best friends. And she also paid for both of our match.com
Speaker 3:Subscriptions for years.
Speaker 2:She did she did she even fooled me into getting on match?
Speaker 1:Well, she didn't fool me because you pretended to be me for six months because I was not having it. Oh wow. And she sent me on some crazy dates, which I still haven't forgiven her for. I'm like you're psychic. Didn't you know how tall was?
Speaker 3:So, oh,
Speaker 1:We had some good times, but it was interesting because your life had fallen apart. My life had fallen apart and she was a lifeline for both of us. So she was carrying both of us, keeping us both afloat. Yes. At the same time. And so I always would hear, well, Rosie did this well be did this. And now Rosie lives in marble height. So maybe you should go on match. So everything was compared to Rosie, but now we have, now we have you here. And your story is really inspiration and all. And I really want you to share how you overcame some of the difficult times in your life. And you had no idea how you would leave a long term marriage, but you were willing to let it all go lose literally everything to create a better life for yourself. Can you take us back to that or how you were able to let go of things that weren't meant for you?
Speaker 2:Well, I so wanted to find out what it might be like to be cherished by someone I hadn't had that. I knew I needed it and I was gonna look for it. But even to leave the mayor, it, the marriage was a marriage that needed to end. So after losing Sean, you know, it became very clear. Life is very short and that you have to live it the best way that you can and be true to yourself without hurting other people as best you can, but you can't sacrifice yourself. You just can't. If you ever wanna be happy,
Speaker 1:Right? So the loss of your son, Sean really profoundly changed your life and led you and a whole new direction working and holding these grief seminars for parents who also lost child and the loss of a child never leaves you. And for some people they can't move on and can't figure out how to live life without them, which is understandable.
Speaker 2:It's unimaginable. And there's no roadmap.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So
Speaker 1:You took it literally once step at a time.
Speaker 2:I did, you did little, teeny, tiny baby steps. And I couldn't find what I needed in, um, other parent support groups. So I started my own because I had to have hope I had to, I had a daughter that I had to live for. I wasn't going anywhere. I had to be on this earth. So I did everything in my power to stay here. And to hope that one day I would be able to have a decent life, but it took a long time.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Well you never lost hope. And I have to say, if you lose hope, all is lost.
Speaker 2:That's pretty much the name of the game. You have to have a little bit of hope. Even if you can't find your way in the beginning, you have to hold on, you know, and hopefully you have something bigger to turn to. You know, for me, I have a deep spirituality and that's what I really dove into. And it kind of changed. It really changed the way I was living my life as far as, um, like say religion was concerned. I wanted to get as close as I could to God. And that's what I did.
Speaker 1:And you took the time to reground yourself and take a step back. And you knew that grief was a process and you needed to, you had a lot to grieve.
Speaker 2:I
Speaker 1:Did an awful lot to grieve.
Speaker 2:I really did. Yeah. I look back and I, I wonder, how did I serve? How did I do it? And, but it really was just one foot in front of the other again and again and again, and I might take 10 steps back, but then I just start again, start again and start again.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Your survival skills are beyond impressive. I, I can't even believe how strong you are. And you had Maureen, which by the grace of God, I don't know. I'm telling you, God set me, Maureen.
Speaker 2:I have no doubt. I have no doubt. And I had my daughter too.
Speaker 1:Right? I she's so special,
Speaker 2:So
Speaker 1:Special. And she's psychic medium as well and such a caring heart, just like Maureen. But if I did not have Maureen who hour by hour carried me to the other side of how devastated I was. I don't know what I would do. So you had Maureen, you live with Maureen for some period of time and you also lived in her, her previous house because she moved into a new house. So you had to learn what it was like to be alone. And that's hard when you're a wife and you're a mother that is really challenging. It, it was I'm sure. So you have had to learn how to form new boundaries. You did spiritual work and you were very present and you really thought about every movie made like you punctuated your bedroom. You would go to Chan nights and chant like you seriously setting yourself up for a new future. How important was that time that you took to be alone?
Speaker 2:I couldn't stress enough. How, how important that is, how much you need, you need to do that for yourself. You need to love yourself enough to take that time, see where you are in life and build from there. And you know, just don't you can't just run willynilly into everything. You, you have to stop. You have to honor yourself. You have to hold sacred space for yourself. And you just, that alone time is the only thing that'll do it in my opinion.
Speaker 1:Right? Right. What's fascinating to me about your story is because I've experienced loss, not profound loss like you like you have, but I know what it's like to struggle financially. Mm. And that puts a lot of pressure on you and it also chips away at your self worth.
Speaker 2:It sure does.
Speaker 1:It really does a number on your self worth. And I hear it all the time from people who are dating, I've gotta get a better job. I've gotta get a better apartment. I've I gotta wait till I'm out of brother's basement, whatever the story is, but that's not true. No, because it doesn't matter. What's in your bank account is what matters is what's in your heart. So I find it interesting that you didn't have any money at the time. Nope. You had to reinvent yourself, but you never allowed it to affect your worth or how you about yourself and it, and all these losses never took away your inner spirit or your beauty or your inner beauty. How did you stay so upbeat and positive?
Speaker 2:Well, you know, honestly, I wasn't always upbeat and positive. I ha I could sink low, but then would dig myself out. I had to, like I said, I was staying here and I wanted to have the best life that I could have. So positive is part of my personality. That's true. But dealing with the magnitude of my loss is of course I'm gonna sink. Of course I'm gonna have bad days. And uh, I just gotta dig, dig myself out and I did and continue.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So I wanna talk about, now you're getting back on your feet, you're taking great care of yourself and now you start to become hopeful and decide that you wanna look for love, but you didn't really know anything about dating
Speaker 2:Or
Speaker 1:Men or men.
Speaker 2:Nope.
Speaker 1:You really did. The only thing you really knew was that you wanted to feel and be cherished.
Speaker 2:Yes. That was my driving force. That's what propelled me forward.
Speaker 1:Right. And that was enough.
Speaker 2:It was enough was, and here's a funny thing. I haven't told you among my high school girlfriends who I still hang out with. They decided among all of them. So there's seven of us that I was the least likely to ever go on a dating site.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Well, when you get into you for 54, I
Speaker 2:Know, right?
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh. Well, you're so beautiful. So, and you not only, you're so pretty, but you have this inner beauty.
Speaker 2:You're so nice.
Speaker 1:No, you do. So I can see why your friends would be like, I don't think you're gonna have to do that. But what people don't understand about being single is that no, one's gonna fix you
Speaker 2:Up. Nah. That's like, mm. Maybe once in a blue moon, but
Speaker 1:Yeah. I don't understand why people think it's just so easy to go out and meet somebody. No,
Speaker 2:Especially at that age,
Speaker 1:It's difficult. It is.
Speaker 2:It's difficult
Speaker 1:Just to go out To gear up to go out. So you did have some moments where you were doubting yourself and would you be able to find love online? I think everybody, that's just a normal thing. Like, will it ever happen for me? So you decided to go to your sister who has a direct pipeline to heaven and you and Maureen decided to contact your son, Sean. Yes. And you handed that answer over to him and tell us about that.
Speaker 2:Okay. So Maureen and I asked Sean, if I had had a forever guy, I wanted to know if I had a forever guy. And if I didn't, then I needed to change. Course I needed to just go in a different direction in life. But Sean saw him and Sean said to Maureen, yes, yes. There is a forever guy for mom. And we said, okay, well, well where is he? Where is he? And we were in, uh, we were south of Boston and Maureen said, Sean saying, he is north of Boston. And he lives near water. And then I thought, oh wow, maybe it's Portsmouth, New Hampshire. But Sean said, no, no, it's closer than that. And then Maureen said, what's his name? Sean, is there a name? Can he give us a name? And he said, David, and that's my little, that was my little roadmap.
Speaker 1:Wow. So you believe obviously, I mean, that pretty interesting because he does live in a town called marble hu that's on the water and has such a coastal feel. And his name is David and that is pretty incredible. And so I did the same thing because I would have days where I would go on these horrible dates or get my heart broken and I would be hysterical. And Maureen kept saying the same thing. You're gonna, you're gonna meet him in the spring. And by the summer she said, by July, he'll be living with you and it's go, you're gonna pull him in real fast. And it's gonna be this really fast relationship. He's gonna show up in a big way and he's gonna be all in. That's what she always said. He'll all in. And he's gonna move in right away. And she said, don't worry. She would just say to me all the time, by the summer, you won't even be worrying about this. And I was laughing thinking about match today, match.com because I remember she sends me a text and she says, how serious is it with Scott? And I'm like, are you still paying the match prescription? It's been years like, give it up, Maureen, put the phone down. She couldn't help herself. She loved talking to these people on match, pretending to be me.
Speaker 2:I can totally see her doing that.
Speaker 1:So, so funny. But I think it's crazy that she could see my future and that I would find love. She knew a hundred percent and she just knew it like, and now it gave me a lot of faith and a lot of hope. So it's really crazy that at the same time, she's helping you find love and she's totally against Tinder. She should really go get a side job at match, but you had a lot of support, but you also had a lot of amazing energy around you. And this is wild, but both of us did mantras to pull in love. Why don't you tell this story?
Speaker 2:All right. So when we were speaking to Sean, he said, you know, it was probably a year out when I was gonna meet David. And that was like, oh my God, I can't believe I have to wait that long. So I went to, um, a chanting night here in this area and I chanted for my forever guy, my forever love and no lie a week later I met David.
Speaker 1:Wow. That's that's, that's the thing about mantras though. They're very PA powerful in the beginning. And I remember I did a hum pre ma. This was before I was, this was a long time ago. This was when I was getting divorced. And it, that first week of that chant, I had three different guys that wanted to date me all outta nowhere. And I, it, and there wasn't even texting or dating sites or anything. So that was really unbelievable. And this new chant that I did, I went on a date with Scott two days later after doing that chant,
Speaker 2:I know it's amazing. It's energetic, right. It's energy out into the world.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So it's really important to have positive of in this high vibing energy and also believing. So once you heard from your son, Sean, that was the key that unlocked it for you, that you would find love. Yes. You had proof from heaven. Yes. So now you decided to do something that's unconventional and you agreed to go to a match mixer in Boston with an ex-boyfriend that's
Speaker 2:Right. I did. He called me up and said, I don't know if this sounds crazy, but how about we go to this mixer? I'm you're a wingman. You're my wing woman. And let's go check it out. So I said, sure, let's try it because we were friends and, um, I didn't wanna go alone, right?
Speaker 1:No, I can remember doing these like cuz Maureen would say, well, Rosie goes to these mixers. Rosie does. And I was like, well, who's gonna go with me, Maureen. She's like, I will go with you.
Speaker 2:Totally Maureen. Yes.
Speaker 1:She's like, we'll do it. So she'd look up the schedule cuz she was always on match. Right. And she'd be like, this is when we're going. Thankfully I never had to go with Maureen as my plus one to a match mix there since she was married. So what's interesting is that David was also on match, but because he was too far away from where you lived. Yep. He never came up in your feed. Nope. So you go to this mixer with the ex-boyfriend and you see him and he sees you now it wasn't the meet and greet. Can you talk about how you held your own and didn't chase him?
Speaker 2:Right. Well, first of all, I saw this very handsome man walk in, just, he just, and he just had such a nice face and he was walking toward me and I kept saying to myself, say hi, say hi, say hi. And he was almost past me. And I stuck out my hand and said, hi, I'm Rosie. And he stopped. And he smiled and said, hi, I'm David. And we started to talk. And then this little lady just placed her body right in front of mine and started talking to David and I just kind of peeked around and said, okay, you know, waved at him, byebye. I'm gonna, I'm gonna start, go the room. And he's like, wait, well wait, wait. And I said, I'll, I'll come back. I'll come back. And when I came back, I saw him at the bar talking to a woman. So I said, well, I'm just gonna go sit down and we'll see if this, you know, if this gels or not. And I did. And I talked to some kind of, you know, goofy guys. I mean, you know, God bless him, but they weren't from me. And then David was finished talking to the lady. He was fin, you know, talking to. And he came and sat down with me and it just, we, it, it just clicked. Yeah. And then we had our first date a week later.
Speaker 1:He knew he knew what he saw. You men know when
Speaker 2:They see you.
Speaker 1:Like, if
Speaker 2:That do
Speaker 1:They, I don't. I think so. I
Speaker 2:Know a lot about, about men.
Speaker 1:There's so visual and, but he is handsome. He is. And, and you can tell he is nice. He's you met him before, but, and he cherishes you. Yes. And he does
Speaker 2:Adore you. Yes he does. And now, now I've given him his name, his forever name.
Speaker 1:Tell us what the name is
Speaker 2:A good handsome.
Speaker 1:So he, I love that. When did you start calling him? Good and handsome.
Speaker 2:Oh gosh. I don't know. Probably. I don't know. During the first year we were married, I think. Does
Speaker 1:He love it?
Speaker 2:No, He's embarrassed by it. If I say it at home, it's fine. But he just, he does not want, oh, sorry, David, but oh yeah. He doesn't want me saying in front of
Speaker 1:People. Well, now you're saying the podcast, so,
Speaker 2:Yep.

Speaker 2:No, I just, my way it, how I've always been. The way I came to this earth was I just kept going. I I'm still that way and sometimes to my detriment, but it's like, just keep going. That's that's it, you know, I wouldn't, I mean, things might defeat me initially, but I'm gonna come back swinging sometimes.
Speaker 1:Right? And you talk about like using that anger of being really frustrated and angry to propel forward
Speaker 2:Sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. I, I would, I'd say I'm not gonna be defeated. I will not be defeated.
Speaker 1:Right. So you just didn't walk into that match mixer and just find this incredible good and kind handsome person. You actually were on match and you dated other people and it didn't work out. What did you learn about yourself on these dating apps?
Speaker 2:Oh, first of all, always to be like so authentic and to know myself and to know my deal breakers and to have boundaries. So those were huge things for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah. No, I can see that. And you started to really look at things with a new lens. I did.
Speaker 2:I looked at men with different eyes and I had previously, yeah,
Speaker 1:There had to be a piece of you, the, it put good at the top of the list
Speaker 2:Kind. Number one was kind
Speaker 1:Kind. How important do you think it is for people to look through a different lens?
Speaker 2:Oh, I think it's of utmost because you don't know who you might miss out on. I mean, you could have like a really compatible fun life with some, if you, you know, don't get stuck in your old thinking, if in your old, you know, the sky's so hot, so whatever, no look, look into their heart and look into their soul and you know, they've got a sense of humor even better, you know? I mean, you can have a fun life. You can have a good life. Why wouldn't you try?
Speaker 1:Right. Do you think because of your past, you paid attention to red flags more?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah. Huge. Like I said, I, I didn't know a lot about men, but I knew about red flags.
Speaker 1:Right. So, and you knew enough about yourself cuz you took the time to do the work on yourself to decide and get very clear about what you wanted. I
Speaker 2:Did. And I even had a list. I had a list. Yeah.
Speaker 1:You had a list. Okay. So, and you also took a random dating class or something too.
Speaker 2:I did. It was with, you know, some young, younger guy, like I said, he was kind of a putts and, But he had info, you know, he had info and I did learn some stuff from him and I was like, oh, I didn't know that. And I didn't know that either. So yeah, that, it was, it was something that was good.
Speaker 1:Right, right. But you do need to learn about online dating because it's a whole skillset you need to choir
Speaker 2:You're right.
Speaker 1:As you've recreated your life and done all these things, you also became an expert at this midlife world.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You found it very interesting. And
Speaker 2:I didn't do. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So tell me why you think this is all interesting or why it like fits your brain. And it's like you said, it's not a dirty word. No midlife. No.
Speaker 2:So for me, midlife is a huge second chance and you've learned so much. So why wouldn't you apply it? And for a woman, the brain becomes rewired in midlife. And so where it was outward, outwardly focused. Right? You gotta key. Keep, keep everybody happy, keep everybody alive. Now it's rewired in such a way that it's like me, me, me and what does me want? And, and it's also, you sometimes get a second wind, you know, like second act, second wind. And you find that you wanna do new things. You want to, um, maybe explore creativity. Like I, I don't think there's a better time in life. I really, really don't.
Speaker 1:Right. You really get to decide what you want in your life
Speaker 2:Do do, but it's on you to figure that out.
Speaker 1:It is. And so what people don't realize is that people in their fifties is the largest group onboarding these dating sites. So that's interesting. It's amazing. It's never too late.
Speaker 2:It's never too late. No.
Speaker 1:And so what was your two hippy for someone who is in midlife and feels like they are too old.
Speaker 2:All right. Well, first of all, we're culturally conditioned to feel this way where society says, you know, you're this you're that, you're the other thing. Well, you have to become a sovereign being. You have to be the authority on you, what you want for your life, what you'll accept what you want. So all those things you it's like, you take yourself in hand and you figure it out or you get a coach.
Speaker 1:Right. I like that. I like that. That's good. So being this midlife Alchemist, you have lived through the good, the bad, the ugly. If someone was losing hope or stopped having dreams, how would you encourage them to call in their future self? Because you've done it.
Speaker 2:Yeah. See, that's what people don't know. We are not taught. You can call on your future self. So you imagine what you want your life to look like. And it, and sometimes people are so hopeless. Like, I don't know. I don't know. Well, go back to the things you used to love, especially as a child, like, what did you love? What do you love now? And you kind of, you, you cobble it all together and you put a certain energy out. Like, I, I can have this, I can have this and you begin to form. Okay. So you form energy. So I, you know, for me it was like, I wanna know what it felt like to be cherished. I wanted to start painting again. I started becoming more interested in clothes and you hairstyles and things like that, that I just totally let go of, you know, just what do you love?
Speaker 1:That's good. I like that. And once you started doing that, it, this ripple effect that your confidence builds. You have more joy in your life, your heart's more filled and you are always great at that though. Keeping friendships and you found a way to keep going.
Speaker 2:I did, I did. And everyone has to do that. You know, even if you fall, just get back up, it doesn't have to be perfect. Just get up.
Speaker 1:That's great. And so I love this ultimate authority and you can choose to have a better life and you can carefully select the people you wanna pull in. Yes.
Speaker 2:Because that's energy, that's energy all around you.
Speaker 1:So is this part of the feminine rocket fuel? Yeah. So it's like this positive beliefs
Speaker 2:And yeah, you build it. It's like, you know, you have, when you make fuel, you have to put in different components, same thing with feminine, rocket fuel. First of all, you know, if you're a woman you're feminine, what is good about being a woman? You figure that out for yourself. And then you start adding all the components. And so it becomes, you know, a really, um, about vitality.
Speaker 1:Mm. I like that. Mm. So it is too though about taking action and you did something that was Unconvention. David had a lot of other attention that night. He
Speaker 2:Did
Speaker 1:Really, but you held your own.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because also I had to make sure he was right for me. It wasn't just, oh, am I right for him? Is he right for me? So that was me having self worth, which was, you know, in, you know, not great supply in most of my life. So I figured that one out too.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:To a certain extent.
Speaker 1:So my last question would be, since you had to navigate all these incredibly difficult times in your life, what, what did you learn about yourself about worth?
Speaker 2:Well, I real realized that I had told myself the wrong story a long, long time ago. And yeah, there are outside influences that kind of, you know, weigh on a person. I didn't think I was pretty, I didn't think I was athletic enough. I didn't think I had enough talent. I didn't think I had enough get up and go. And those were all lies. It's like a big fat lie that nobody tells you about. So at some point you have to figure out you're worth it. And it's just by stating it, I am worth, you know, X, Y, Z, and you just, again, it's like one little baby, step one, little baby step. That's all that is required of you.
Speaker 1:Right. And it's those actions forward, no matter how small, you've proven that you can overcome the most challenging heartbreak and by the grace of God, you get up and you try again and you just keep going
Speaker 2:And I'm gonna talk about this word and I can have, you know, just huge grief and I can have joy because losing my son is some something I'll never get over. I won't, how could I, there was such great love and is still such great love so I can have the grief and I can have the joy and really that's, that's what makes a life.
Speaker 1:Wow. Well, you are so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Where can people find, uh, more about you either on social media? Or do you wanna share what's in store for you? Sure,
