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."[6][7]

Post retirement

On October 30, 2013, Whalen announced her retirement from SEO.[8] She is currently devoting her time to transformation of body, mind and spirit and assisting others with lifestyle and business change.[9][10]

Whalen grew up in Framingham, Massachusetts and attended UMass Amherst, graduating with a degree in sociology.[6] She lives in Ashland, Massachusetts with her husband and three children.[11]

gollark: This is why when I see any number, I simply imagine that many apples.
gollark: You jest, but intuitive perception of numbers is kind of weird.
