I Never Married: The Truth I Finally Admitted

I never married. For decades, I told myself a story about why — but that story wasn't the whole truth. The real reason? I spent most of my adult life looking for someone to take care of me. Not because I was weak, but because I didn't believe I could take care of myself. And that one quiet, hidden belief shaped every relationship I had through my 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. In this video, I share what it took to finally admit the truth — and how I found peace as a single woman over 60. Starting over in your 60s isn't about loss. It's about discovering you can still grow in new soil. Whether you're newly retired, an empty nester, or navigating life after 60 on your own — this is for you.
