Getting back into the dating world after divorce can be a scary process, but it doesn’t have to be. Today, Mardi Winder sits down with Ry Duong to explore Ry’s remarkable story of resilience, healing, and empowerment after leaving an unhealthy marriage and coping with profound personal loss. Ry shares her unique background, tracing her journey from a Thai refugee camp after her family fled the Cambodian genocide to building a life in Canada. She explains how the loss of her sister to depression, paired with the end of a long marriage, became the turning point that inspired her to create Eternal Love, a company dedicated to helping singles find love and confidence. Ry and Mardi talk candidly about the experience of rediscovering yourself after divorce, and the importance of choosing happiness, which Ry explores further in her new book. They discuss the challenge of losing your identity in a relationship, especially when cultural expectations encourage self-sacrifice, and how self-acceptance and unconditional love begin with being kind to yourself, flaws and all. The conversation covers practical ways of setting healthy boundaries and recognizing personal tendencies, such as over-giving, especially in the context of new relationships after divorce. Ry offers thoughtful advice on distinguishing between accepting a partner’s imperfections and excusing harmful behavior, emphasizing self-awareness and non-negotiable values. Listen in to find out more about loving yourself, loving others, and finding a partner that is aligned with what you are looking for in your next relationship.  About the Guest: Ry Duong is the Founder of EternaLove and Author of Choose You, Choose Happiness.
