🎙️ EPISODE 2: RING OF FIRE
In this episode, I sharee the whirlwind moment that should’ve felt magical — getting engaged — but instead sparked more confusion than celebration.
After a bold (and baffling) Facebook Messenger message, Roger makes things official with a ring. But what should’ve been a happy, intimate milestone becomes a moment filled with tension, doubt, and a gnawing gut feeling that something isn’t right.
With a new ring on her finger and her mother beside her on the flight home, Heather opens up about what it was like to juggle excitement, shame, and silent panic — all while pretending everything was okay.
🎧 In this episode:
The disorienting high of fast-tracked “love”
Trying to convince yourself it’s “meant to be” when your mom’s face says otherwise
The pressure to commit when you’ve already told people you’re in love
That eerie quiet feeling when your intuition whispers, this doesn’t feel like forever
If you’ve ever felt like you were watching your own life from the outside, wishing someone would stop you — or if that someone was your mama — this episode will hit close to home.
