Have you ever matched with someone on a dating app only to discover they're hiding a major secret? In this candid episode, Natalie shares her shocking experience with a firefighter who tried to plan dates around his wife's work schedule while pretending to be a single dad. Through some impressive detective work from friends, the sisters uncovered his double life – that he was married with kids and had just returned from Disney World with his family!
 
The conversation dives deep into the darker side of dating apps, where catfishing, married men, and disappointment often lurk behind carefully crafted profiles. Yet despite these pitfalls, the sisters acknowledge the success stories too, including friends who found lasting love online. It's this tension between hope and caution that many singles navigate in the digital dating landscape.

Beyond dating disasters, Marissa opens up about returning to therapy, highlighting that mental health work isn't something you simply "graduate" from after a crisis. "For me, therapy is ongoing," she explains, normalizing the idea that continuous personal growth requires consistent effort and sometimes professional guidance.

The episode takes a poignant turn as the sisters discuss their upcoming trip to Spain, where they plan to hold a memorial service for their late father. This journey will blend celebration with mourning, allowing their Spanish friends who are "basically family" to properly say goodbye to a man who spent much of his life abroad.

Whether you're swiping through dating apps, working on your mental health, or processing grief, this episode reminds us that healing isn't linear and that sometimes the best medicine is sharing stories with someone who truly understands.
