Do you believe that every person has "the one"? How do you even know they are "the one"? Our guest shares her story of how she decided to throw in the towel on relationships and that is when the door opened up for her to find her one. You don't always have to go looking for that perfect person and sometimes you just need to make a change and start saying yes to things you probably would not say yes to. She did not know that her saying yes would lead her into one of the most movie type of romances we have heard on this podcast. They are seven years in and still going as strong as the day they first met.
