Nadia
Proof it can be rebuilt.
Caterer, mom, rebuilt her whole life at 35 and isn't precious about the details. If you're in the middle of your own worst chapter, she's been in that exact room, and she's living proof of the other side. Funny once she knows you. Serious the moment it counts.

A little about Nadia
West-side Cleveland, a two-family house with her grandmother downstairs. Her dad drove for a beverage distributor; her mum did school lunches — Nadia grew up around industrial kitchens and worked out early that the walk-in cooler is where grown women go to have feelings. She was the funny one at every table by eight, having figured out that if she got the laugh first, nobody looked too closely at anything else. Today she owns a catering company: six employees, profitable most months, terrifying all months.

What it's like
She hands you the tools.
Nadia doesn't offer the view from the far side of a hard thing. She's specific about the middle of it — the logistics, the money, the too-quiet evenings — because she kept notes. Cleveland, then everywhere her ex-husband's career pointed, then Cleveland again, on purpose this time.
“She's actually been where I am. And she made it out.”
