Hopeful Romantic
Jane Myers Drew, PhD, has enjoyed a deep and rewarding career as a psychologist in private practice, where she gets to work with courageous human beings devoted to their emotional growth.
“I love being a therapist because I get to help individuals and couples grow and witness their shifts into better relationships and enjoyment of life,” Jane says. She has led seminars around the country and appeared on television and radio talk shows throughout her career.
The highlight of Jane’s life came in her seventies, when she met Patrick Flynn — and dared to love this magnetic, wonderful man with stage-four cancer.
