In this episode of Shot At Love, Kerry Brett sits down with Tina Eliana, whose love story defies every metric — starting with the fact that it should never have happened at all. On January 21, 2012, JD logged onto Plenty of Fish to delete his profile. He ran one last search, expanding his radius to 50 miles. Tina lived 200 miles away. She was one of the first profiles that appeared. What followed was a marriage tested almost immediately by the unthinkable. Tina opens up about the trauma behind the scenes when they met: a second divorce, threats to her life, and the devastating decision to dissolve the adoption of her two sons after nine years — a choice made to keep everyone safe, and one that grieved like a death. She shares the nervous breakdown that mimicked MS symptoms, the depression so heavy that showering felt impossible, and the 40th birthday she spent sleeping in a vehicle at a truck stop, wondering if her life still had meaning. Then she shares what JD did next — and how unconditional love, one small accomplishment at a time, carried her to a life she now can't dream big enough for: 100 pounds lost, four degrees earned, a company serving clients worldwide, and a memoir on the way. For anyone who has ever felt too broken, too far gone, or too late for love, this episode is proof that you're not.

Saving Grace: Sex, Drugs & Second Chances The first person Matt Grace ever did drugs with is dead. So is the last. After surviving a 13-year battle with addiction, multiple overdoses, and a life that was spiraling out of control, Matt believes he was spared for one reason—to help others find hope when they feel there's none left.

After experiencing sexual abuse as a child, Barb sought safety and belonging in the Catholic Church, eventually entering a convent at just sixteen years old. What followed was a decades-long struggle with faith, identity, forbidden love, shame, and the fear of living authentically. For nearly forty-five years, Barb wrestled with her sexuality while trying to reconcile it with the beliefs that had shaped her life. Together, Kerry and Barb explore the lasting effects of trauma, the human need for connection, the courage it takes to break lifelong silence, and the power of finding people who love and accept us exactly as we are.

Yet instead of allowing those experiences to define her, she chose to reinvent herself again and again.

This episode is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to begin again. Three Dating Takeaways Stop looking for perfection. Everyone brings a past into a relationship. Focus on character, consistency, and how someone treats you today. The right person accepts the real you. Healthy relationships aren't built on pretending. They're built on authenticity and acceptance. Stay present. The happiest relationships aren't always about the future—they're about making the moments you're sharing right now count. I think this episode has the potential to resonate with a very broad audience because it's really not about dating—it's about hope. Dating is simply the vehicle that shows listeners that life can still surprise you, no matter how much you've been through.

In this entertaining and thought-provoking episode of Shot At Love, Kerry Brett sits down with entrepreneur, financial expert, and self-proclaimed "walking red flag" G.A. Pimpleton for a candid conversation about love, authenticity, and what it really takes to build meaningful relationships. G.A. shares his unapologetic approach to life, explaining why he believes authenticity is far more attractive than perfection. Together, Kerry and G.A. explore the common mistake of falling in love with someone's "representative" rather than their true self, and why embracing your flaws can become your greatest relationship advantage. The conversation covers G.A.'s famous five compatibility questions, the importance of ambition, curiosity, loyalty, and trust, and how childhood experiences often shape our adult dating patterns. With plenty of humor, honesty, and larger-than-life storytelling, G.A. challenges listeners to stop trying to fit in and start showing up as their authentic selves. Whether you agree with him or not, G.A.'s perspective is unforgettable—and his message is clear: the right person won't love a polished version of you; they'll love the real thing. Key Takeaways Authenticity is more attractive than perfection. Many people fall in love with a person's "representative" instead of who they truly are. Embracing your flaws makes you more relatable and memorable. Ambition, curiosity, loyalty, and trust are essential ingredients for lasting love. The strongest relationships are built on honesty, self-awareness, and the daily choice to love one another. The people who are meant for you will appreciate what makes you different. This episode is a powerful reminder that real connection begins when we stop performing and start showing up as ourselves.
