Jilted Girl
by Jilted Girl
Dating is the laboratory. Identity is the mystery. Jilted Girl began with a question I couldn't stop asking: What actually happened? Not what I hoped happened. Not what I feared happened. Not the story I constructed at two o'clock in the morning because someone didn't text me back. What actually happened? So, I started looking at the evidence. I thought I was investigating dating. It turns out dating was only where the investigation began. Jilted Girl is a first-person investigation into the stories we inherit, the stories we tell ourselves, and the strange ways they follow us into love, family, loss, identity, and the choices we make without ever quite knowing why.

Who the Fuck Is Jilted Girl?
So who the fuck is Jilted Girl? Fair question. After nearly twenty years away from dating, I came back with questions. About dating. About men. About myself. And apparently, I decided the reasonable thing to do was get a microphone and start investigating. This is the introduction. Not the…

ABOUT THIS SHOW
Dating is the laboratory. Identity is the mystery.
Jilted Girl began with a question I couldn't stop asking:
What actually happened?
Not what I hoped happened. Not what I feared happened. Not the story I constructed at two o'clock in the morning because someone didn't text me back. What actually happened?
So, I started looking at the evidence. I thought I was investigating dating. It turns out dating was only where the investigation began.
Jilted Girl is a first-person investigation into the stories we inherit, the stories we tell ourselves, and the strange ways they follow us into love, family, loss, identity, and the choices we make without ever quite knowing why.
There are case files here. Men and messages. Mixed signals and questionable decisions. But there are also childhood stories, old assumptions, unexpected patterns, and moments when the evidence points somewhere I absolutely did not expect.
