Career
Whalen was a stay-at-home mother with three children when she started an online parenting chat room. When the chat room became so popular that the members, who lived across the nation, wanted a website to house their forums, Whalen "began by examining listings that came up when entering a phrase such as 'parenting chat,' and then made sure those words were incorporated into her page. From there, she learned how to program and began experimenting."[2]
Post Retirement
On October 30, 2013, Whalen announced her retirement from SEO. [7] She is currently devoting her time to transformation of body, mind and spirit and assisting others with lifestyle and business change. [8]
