I am Alina, a 42-year-old Polish-American. Recently divorced, I’m embracing this new chapter with a mix of resilience and uncertainty. By day, I work as a project manager for a non-profit, connecting people with vital resources. Evenings are for hitting the gym or experimenting with traditional Polish recipes. I’m learning to stand on my own, carrying the weight of my past while nurturing a flicker of hope for the future. Life is a challenge, but I’m ready to redefine happiness on my own terms.
