Hi, I’m Linda, a woman in her forties navigating life, love, and everything in between in Los Angeles “LA LA LAND” metro. I have never been married and am child-free by choice. While society may view me as a social reject, I see myself as a very discerning late bloomer.

With a background in psychology/social behavior, and social work, I dedicated almost twenty years to a career in the healthcare sector. The last thirteen of those years were the most challenging and eye-opening as I worked as a hospice social worker providing counseling services to the ill and dying.

At the height of the 2020 pandemic, I faced burnout and chose to focus on my health and well-being. This led me to leave my hospice job to pursue fresh ambitions and interests. What seemed like a new beginning only spiraled into a string of personal tragedies: the death of my parents and my beloved dog, my stock market gains from the COVID era completely wiped out (and then some), and a couple dating disasters along the way.

Needless to say, I’ve consciously stayed single since 2022. I was depleated of any interest other than to get my finances back in order and focus on the simple things in life: reconnecting with old friends, making new friendships, focus on my mental and physical health. I even adopted a puppy!!

Starting this blog and vlog about life and dating has long been on my agenda as I have over two decades of stories as a single gal. One day I will write a book and called it, “200 Coffee Dates” (LOL). But for now, I invite you to come along this adventure of life, love and other stuff with me, Linda in La La Land.
