Jill shares how she collaborates with 200+ matchmakers worldwide, the heart-centered people she serves from their 20s to their 80s, and why preferences versus deal-breakers matters more than ever in an app-driven world. We dig into mindset: finding control in your own choices, using dating apps as a directory (not a destiny), and keeping first dates to a simple vibe check. Jill offers compassionate guidance on boundaries, pacing, and remembering that the joy—and clarity—is in the journey. We also explore her personal path through divorce, intentional dating, parenting teens, and building a values-driven business, plus practical first-date rules and mom-life systems that keep a household running as a true team. ------------------------------------------------------- FREE Date Better As A Mom Webinar registration…
