On today's episode we get to hear from Candace Neskar, successful marketing expert, Mother of 3 beautiful daughters and Glamma to 2 very handsome grandsons.
Candace and I met under very unusual circumstances when I decided to try out a new dating service "It's Just Lunch" many years ago, after my own divorce. Candace was the consultant that arranged all of my dates and although I eventually decided that dating through a matchmaking service wasn't for me, she and I got along so well that we've kept in touch over the years.
Throughout the podcast, you'll get to hear all about how Candace raised her 3 daughters on her own when she moved across Canada after a divorce for a new job opportunity that unfortunately fell apart shortly after her move, how she finally met the man of her dreams who swept her off her feet and created a life for her and her daughters that Candace could never have imagined, only to be blindsided by a cancer diagnosis and eventual passing of her new husband at a very young age.
If you stick around until the end, Candace and I will get very candid about dating life in our 50's, the double standard for women dating younger men and navigating being a caregiver for our senior parents.
Although it has been a tough road, Candace remains a bright and positive light who is still optimistic about love.
We hope Candace’s story will resonate with and/or help someone who may be seeking others who they can relate to when it comes to single parenting, becoming a widow at a young age and finding the strength to continue on with life after loss. If you need to talk to someone, please feel free to reach out via our website and we will be happy to listen or provide you with suggestions for local resources and community members who can help.
