Episode 12: What’s In A Name?

Jackie tells us her story of transformation from the insecure “Little Korean Girl” to the powerful and confident woman she is today. Was it all because she changed her name?


Jackie talks about her evolution and the winding path she took to reach a place where she could embrace everything about herself, flaws and all. She was comfortable with the possibility that she would never find love or get married.  Of course, that was when she met her soulmate and knew it was something different–a love that would last a lifetime.

Jackie and her handsome fiancé.

The big wedding will be held in Copenhagen in May, but just this weekend, the legal marriage took place in New York City. Jackie sent me this photo.

Here are a couple of pics of the venue in Copenhagen.

I hope you enjoy Jackie’s story as much as I did interviewing her. She’s a brilliant, smart, talented woman–beautiful inside and out. Jackie is truly kind and I am lucky to call her my friend.

Oh, and look at those arms. Can you believe it is a recent photo? Do you know any woman over fifty with arms as toned as hers? OK, Michelle Obama, but anyone else? By the way, she used to be a model.

Be sure to RATE and REVIEW on iTunes. Over 10K of you are here every month and yet I have a small number of reviews. Reviews make it possible to approach sponsors and will allow me to continue to provide entertainment to you–free of charge. It’s important as every podcast or blog post I do costs money. Many podcasters use patron funding platforms such as Patreon instead of corporate sponsors. Let me know your opinion. Should I ask listeners to help? I’ve never attempted to monetize my work, but I think it is time.

If you enjoyed following along during my ridiculous year of online dating, you’ll love the book.

New stories, previously untold details, and an embarrassing amount of over-sharing.

What’s not to love?
