The Million Dollar Matchmaker Still Believes in Love — And She's Not Done Looking

But today she gets honest about her own journey: the trauma she's healed, the patterns she's broken, and why, after everything, she still believes her person is out there. Over halibut chowder, trout almondine, and New York cheesecake, Jamie and Patti talk soul contracts, the Ketubah, Jewish identity, and the courage it takes to keep believing in love.

From Law & Order to the Holy Land: Diane Neal's Unfiltered Life Story
