Words to Live By

Wisdom from the Pages

I cancelled a date because of a science project. Then I realized I deserved both.

— Nadine Wright

If you don't value your time and energy, no one else will.

— Nadine Wright

I wasn't lonely. I was just alone. And there was a world of difference between the two.

"I Still Want Love—Even With All of That."

Nadine Wright with her miniature schnauzers

Nadine Wright

Three daughters. A career in government health systems. A divorce behind me. Two miniature schnauzers at my feet. And a heart that still believes love is possible—not as an escape, but as an addition to an already full life.

I've cancelled dates for science projects. I've cried in parking lots after dropping kids off. I've swiped right while stirring mac and cheese. I've felt the guilt of wanting something just for me.

In my forties and post-divorce, I've rebuilt my life with intention. As a Senior Business Analyst and Informatics Specialist working in government health systems, I've proven that career pivots and reinvention are possible at any age. My analytical mind and strategic approach to work have surprisingly informed my approach to dating—knowing my worth, setting boundaries, and seeking genuine connection.

When I'm not working or mom-ing, you'll find me enjoying murder mysteries, savoring spicy food, or dreaming about my next venture (a podcast is in the works!).

If you've ever whispered "I'd rather be alone than lonely in someone's presence"—I wrote this for you.

💜 Mom of 3 Daughters 💼 Senior Business Analyst 40+ & Thriving

"You don't find self-worth in someone else's hands; you remember it in your own."

You Deserve Love AND Motherhood.

It's time to stop choosing between them.
