Hey there! I'm Liza Fernandez, your friendly neighborhood author, dating coach, relationship guru, cupcake enthusiast, and proud owner of a vacuum cleaner collection that would make Marie Kondo weep with joy. At 53, I've become a self-proclaimed expert in turning swipes into success stories, and let me tell you, it's been quite the journey!

Picture this: There I was, fresh out of a 16-year relationship, suddenly single at almost 40. The thought of hitting the bar scene made me want to hibernate with a tub of ice cream (which, let's be honest, I did for a while). But then I had an epiphany – why not embrace this new digital dating world?

So, I dove in headfirst. I'm talking full immersion, folks. I treated dating like it was my job – happy hour dates, dinner dates, you name it! I collected data, observed, experimented, and yes, made plenty of mistakes. But guess what? Those mistakes became my superpowers.

After eight years of swimming in the digital dating pool, I cracked the code. I found myself in the most amazing, loving relationship I've ever experienced, all thanks to a little app called Bumble (#notsponsored, but open to talking ;-).

Now, I'm here to spill all my hard-earned secrets. With over 25 years in media production, working with big names like Disney, Paramount, CBS, and Univision, I know a thing or two about engaging an audience. I've taken all that knowledge, mixed it with my dating adventures, and voilà – "Embrace the Swipe" was born!

My mission? To help you navigate the wild world of digital dating with confidence, humor, and a dash of sass. Whether you're over 30, tech-skeptical, or just plain dating-challenged, I've got your back. Let's turn those dating woes into dating wows!
