It all started when… Cindy Drummond had envisioned writing a novel since early teens. A successful career in career recruitment was her priority in her 20’s and the role of motherhood took precedent in her 30’s. The idea of writing a book seemed fleeting until her mid 40’s, when Cindy found herself suddenly single and increasingly lonely. While wading through the murky waters of online dating, Cindy realized that she had an inspiring story to share in hopes of helping other women.
Cindy is the creator of WOW! (Women Only Weekend), an annual event that takes place in the heart of the Rocky Mountains which sells out every year.

Welcome to our Season 2 - Episode 4 of Keeping it 100: Real Conversations with Jacqui, where we discuss Cindy Drummond's most recent book 'Reflections from the Dating Pool'. Cindy takes us through the journey of her life in this episode.Cindy Drummond is the curator of WomenOnlyWeekend (WOW) and DateClubYYC plus the author of Reflections from the Dating Pool; a story about resilience, the importance of finding your tribe, and the power of falling in love again...with yourself. Cindy's personal growth journey began several years ago when the man she thought she was in love with was arrested from their family home. Refusing to be seen as a victim, Cindy decided to focus her passion on women's empowerment and created WomenOnlyWeekend; an annual event held in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The success of this retreat gave her the confidence to start a new challenge; GOING ON 50 DATES IN 52 WEEKS
Starting over is never easy, but it is always necessary if we want to change or grow in our lives. I had a conversation with Cindy Drummond, the author of Reflections of the Dating Pool, about her journey to start over after a shocking discovery and the road to support other women. Cindy is also the creator of Women Only Weekend (WOW) events and co-host of Words of Wisdom online gatherings.
Part of her journey was about “start before you are ready” where she went on 50 dates in a year in search of love. She turned those dates into learning lessons and part of her healing process. Eventually, it becomes her book with words of wisdom about loneliness, the importance of finding a tribe and how she fell in love again…with herself. Cindy lives in Canada and is now married to her loving husband.
