Summary
Heidi Friedman (@lovelessons104) went on 104 dates before finding the love of her life — and every single one taught her something new. A divorced mom of two (and now a bonus mom of two more), she opens up about realizing she was never truly in love with her ex-husband, rebuilding her confidence, and finally finding the kind of love she used to only hear about.
We talk about what real love actually looks like, how to tell the difference between red flags and fear, and why being single might be the most powerful time of your life. Whether you’re on your first date or your 104th, this one will change how you think about love.

| 0:35.3 | We made it happen. |
| 0:36.8 | We did. |
| 0:40.8 | Despite two moves, we made it happen. |
| 0:47.4 | Exactly. So thank you for bearing with me. And seriously, I'm so excited to hear your story. |
| 0:54.0 | I feel like I have a thousand and one questions for you. But hopefully I have answers. I think you do. I think you do. |
| 0:56.4 | But I guess where I want to begin is with your prior marriage, because I imagine your divorce. |
| 1:04.8 | Well, I know your divorce led you to your now husband. And I feel like there's a lot to dive into about your prior relationship |
| 1:14.0 | and everything that happened in between. And where I'm really excited to start is with the fact |
| 1:18.5 | that you do not believe that you were in love with your ex-husband. I know. Isn't that a little |
| 1:24.1 | bit embarrassing to admit out loud? So I think it's really brave to admit out loud. |
| 1:32.1 | I think we can all agree. It feels like everyone we know is having babies. But if there's one thing I keep |
