But we are still beautiful, right? Right? Whether you're looking for advice or just a good laugh, we're here to help.

In this raw and reflective episode, Giddy opens up about the heartbreak of a four-year relationship built on sweet words and hidden truths. What started as a promising long-distance love unraveled into a shocking revelation—one unearthed not by confrontation, but by quiet investigation and a single Facebook photo.

From confronting the red flags to regaining her dignity through a sharply worded farewell text, her story is a powerful reminder of how truth eventually finds its way to light.
The conversation doesn’t shy away from the scars—emotional manipulation, the loneliness of midlife dating, and a surprising encounter with a scammer surgeon (or three). But through it all, Giddy stands tall, proving that even battle-worn hearts can still beat with wisdom, humor, and hope.
