The Engagement That Ended in Handcuffs

On this week’s episode of the podcast, our guest Erica shares the shocking unraveling of a five-year relationship that seemed picture-perfect from the outside. What began as a Tinder romance filled with business success, engagement plans, and dreams of a future together slowly spiraled into jealousy, manipulation, and mounting red flags she tried desperately to explain away. But when an unexpected knock at the door exposes a devastating secret, she’s forced to confront the reality of the man she thought she knew.You can follow Erica and get rat man merch at @__ericamericaAre you in the Chicago, Tampa, or Orlando area and want to come see us live?!
