Sometimes love feels like a rescue… until you realize you’re the one who needs saving.

In this episode, Marcus sits down with Melissa, a 43-year-old from Fredericksburg who’s been married twice, survived heartbreak twice, and is finally learning to put herself first. From her first “Captain Save-A-Ho” marriage to a second round that looked perfect but turned controlling and toxic, Melissa opens up about the messy middle between fairy tales and freedom.

This raw, unfiltered convo dives into:

💍 Marriage on fast-forward: when love moves too fast to last

🚩 Toxic patterns: why we repeat them and how to break free

💔 Losing yourself in love: and rebuilding piece by piece

👩‍👦 Parenting through the chaos: what kids see, learn, and carry
