    They Told Her She'd Never Find Love: When Disability Meets Destiny

    Growing up, Michelle didn't quite fit in. She was diagnosed with three learning disabilities that required special tutoring and prevented her from being able to drive. Kids were mean and said hurtful things. She was told she'd never go to college or find love, and initially she believed it. The dates and relationships she had didn't inspire much confidence. Eventually, Michelle leaned into her strengths and found community within the artist circles in her town. She went to college and graduated with a Bachelor's degree. She began to write, perform at poetry events, volunteer at an arts center, and make friends who saw her, loved her, and accepted her. Since she couldn't drive, she walked everywhere, and began photographing the flowers and scenery she spotted along the way. While building a rich life of friendship, passion, and self-discovery, she attracted a secret admirer who adored her exactly as she is... and he loves to drive! This is a story about a patient, steady love that developed slowly and was built on friendship. A love story that was seemingly written in the stars, with premonitions, missed connections, and shared interests lighting the way. A complementary love where each brings their own unique strengths and helps the other shine. Michelle's story is a reminder the things that make us different also make us special, and that we should never hide who we are... because who you are is perfect to the right person.   Follow the show on Instagram: @kismetstoriespodcast Share your own Kismet moment: kismetstoriespodcast@gmail.com 🎧 Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app 🌟 If you enjoyed the episode, please consider leaving a review.

    Her Future Husband Was in Her Friend Group

    Their circles orbited for years. Diana Krach attended the same church as her future husband, and they went to rival high schools in the same town. They shared mutual friends. Went to the same concerts. He was the guy she'd heard about for years; she even knew an acquaintance who'd dated him. Yet inexplicably, they'd never met; she had no idea what he even looked like. Her friend tried several times to introduce them over nearly a decade, convinced they’d be great friends, but it never quite panned out... until it did. This is Diana’s story of meeting her person within her own extended circle. A skeptic of love with examples of healthy relationships, she shares how she became her own model of what a strong partnership can look like. Diana reflects on how life with the right person can be a safe place to explore, experiment, and discover who you truly are. And that sometimes, your friends really do know best. Key themes: Relationships, Love, Personal Growth, Dating, Serendipity, Communication, Parenting Call to action: Listen to the full episode and subscribe to the Kismet Stories Podcast for more conversations about love, life, and the serendipitous moments that shape our stories.
