Don’t waste your time on this ‘podcast,’ it’s mind-numbing incoherent rambling. I tried, I really tried.

I enjoyed binging season one. There’s enough there to keep listening, but I wouldn’t call any one episode riveting. I can understand how some listeners would get lost if taking several days between episodes and not be able to stay on track. There is a literary benefit of jumping around on a timeline, but I don’t think this show nailed that concept. Instead, it comes across as unorganized loose ends. I can tell that honoring confidentiality is important to the creators, but I am craving more details. I love Brittani’s soothing voice. Will definitely give season two a listen.

This is my kind of podcast but I cannot listen to this one. For one, it’s poorly executed. All of the sound bites and extra noise is distracting. The part that I can’t stand is the narrators voice. She sounds like she could not care less about what she’s talking about. She sounds bored and indifferent. She actually takes deep sighs while she’s reading as if she wanted to be anywhere else. I cannot do it!

These are the type of stories i live for. Not true crime or crazy just stories of living through the ups and downs of life

This is resonating with me so deeply. SO deeply… your vulnerability is incredible. I see some poor reviews and genuinely believe that these are just people who are fortunate enough to NOT have a connection to a story like this. Because those of us who have a “Kanan” or even have experienced a manipulative relationship that is comparable appreciate this story and YOU! Very glad I found this podcast… it makes me feel less alone, less crazy, and less broken.

poorly executed

I love your calm voice! Great work! Love your Podcast! Thank you. 👍✌️❤️

The trailer and episode one are incredible! Can’t wait for the rest! ❤️🔥❤️

Truly wondering if the episodes played out of order or what exactly even happened here or the point. Honestly have no clue what the dude she dated on hinge and other women dating him, had to do with her sister and dad and her sister being killed by her boyfriend. I seriously confused…. What the heck did I just listen to and was there truly no ending or point?

We all have a story but not all deserve a podcast. During the first episode you might be fooled that something worth telling is going to happen; it doesn’t. The narrative is all over the place; needs an editor.

This is not a story. It’s a rambling audio diary.

Heard about this from Nobody Should Believe Me and binged the whole season in two days. Can’t wait for the next season!

Britt, you’re such a great storyteller. I couldn’t stop listening to your podcast. I can relate to almost everything about dating though. This is an eye opening podcast. I wish I heard it 12 years ago lol! Thank you for sharing not only your story but also other women stories!!! I admire you as a person you are strong and super brave! Thanks again!!!

WOW!!!!! Thank you Brit, this podcast is so compelling!

This show is absolutely amazing! I wanted to say that not all psychopaths are killers or want to hurt someone. There are people that are psychopaths that are walking around just like normal people but have zero empathy and must teach themselves what empathy is to other people.

You can read every episode descriptions so it’s really lazy for so many of these reviews to act like you can’t & soooo self absorbed to think a persons past doesn’t affect their present. If you expect true crime to entertain only then you are oblivious and weird 🙂‍↔️

Thank you, Brittani, for sharing yourself so openly. It has allowed me to feel more confident to be honest with myself and with others. Your story was way more than entertainment for me. Thank you

Sorry that this woman a hard childhood and her heart broken by being lied to by an a—hole, but the story is pointless, boring, poorly written and the host drones on.

Just a lady that unfortunately got played. Nothing crazy happens just a long “woe is me” story.

I waited and waited for the climax of the story… but nothing. The whole story could have been summed up in one episode. Ironically, the most interesting episode was about her sister who may have been murdered. Her murder was left unchecked. I think every one deals with death differently, but I think it's an injustice to have a potentially guilty man harm another woman if you think he is the culprit. Just my two cents. Use your energy into protecting women from physical harm.

I’m so sorry. I wanted to be supportive. This was such a dud. There’s literally no change of what you find out in the 2nd episode to the end. Don’t waste your time.

This podcast needed an editor, desperately. The story is not that interesting, switches gears abruptly, and comes off as self-absorbed. There are too many insignificant details and not enough in the beginning to help me feel real empathy for the author. Hard pass.

I’m SO glad you are telling your story I can relate in many levels even though my mom did recover well but the wounds still catapulted me into toxic men. My ex husband I used to refer to as “dirty John” like the Netflix series story Why do they all claim that they have a military background or are actually in military and then also in medical field? That’s such a crazy coincidence it has to say something about these con artists narcissistic men Too many commonalities This podcast has been my therapy on top of me who has also become friends with my exs girls and I think that overall realization that it’s not just you has been my biggest clarity

I wanted to love this podcast since I love Betrayal, Dirty John and Something Was Wrong (first few seasons) but it kind of wanders leading you… nowhere. There’s no climax, no confrontation, nothing. It also takes a sharp left turn at episode 3 to talk about the hosts entire life; I skipped those and listened again when the conversation got back on track. Even then, it’s just like a girlfriend talking about some lying, cheating guy she dated for hours. I think an editor would have helped keep the storyline clear and cut it to about three episodes.

I listened to this while I was at work, loved it and my day flew by. I am just going to say I didn’t mind the story change My heart broke for her and her dad. She is a GREAT story teller. I wish I could see a picture of the man that manipulated all of these great women, I think something more is wrong with him than just being a dirt bag. He might be a psychopath, they all dodged a giant bullet. There is a really great lesson in this story, and that is to ALWAYS trust your womanly instincts. They are there to save your life.

I really wanted to like this one. You can relate to the narrator so much in the first episode or two even, but then the story goes all over the place. It shifts from a story that is along the lines of “Dear John” and ends up being about every shi—y thing that happened to this person (Which I feel bad for but seems a little bit like a bait and switch). That said, I did listen to all eight episodes. I just couldn’t take any of the bonus content…. it’s kind of like listening to that one friend at the office that always has a problem.

We have to take the power back from men ❤️ Please do season 2 - this was an amazing podcast to listen too!!

I stopped after the subject changed from her terrible boyfriend, to her life. I'm so glad it was still in my queue and kept playing the podcast, is so much more to her the story, so good. I couldn't stop listening till I was all done! Now I'm listing to bonus episodes! I loved this show, and can't wait for season 2!

I would rather rawdog an 8 hour flight than to listen to any of this drivel. There is no story, nothing interesting happens, in fact nothing at all happens. It’s chaotic, disorganized and just simply nonsensical. Don’t let the first episode fool you, it will lead you to believe there is a story or plot that will entertain you; there is not.

Lost interest once she began into her own story which seemed disorganized. That coupled with the republican commercials every break had me over it by season 4

thank you for the courage it’s taken to tell this story, with all the pain and cringey-ness. It means we can start telling the unvarnished truths of the shame of being associated with this kind of deeply sick individual. bravo’

I’ve listened to every episode and have not one clue what the purpose of this podcast is supposed to be about. The narrator talks about subjects that we the listener don’t know anything about. For example she references her sister having passed away then in episode 5 they explain that she was murdered but the killer made it look like a suicide? Oh okay and episode 1 is all about how the narrator was catfished? Okay never again referenced in episodes 2-5. This show is being advertised on other Podcasts and yet the podcast doesn’t live up to the advertising in any way. Highly NOT recommended!

The podcast started out fairly strong, but then just fizzled into rambling. I see where some are talking about the topic of women being resilient, but for me, the story just lacked any real purpose or direction, other than her airing out all of her dirty laundry. Kept listening, hoping that all of her tangents would connect, but it never happened.

I really enjoyed this series, but I find it very interesting that there were so many red flags and all the women just continued on with it. What’s his name, must’ve been a very good-looking guy, otherwise he would’ve been jetted early on. Or maybe he was just good in bed. Anyway I will be looking forward to the next season, keep the good work up. PS I really like your dad.

A complex tale told in a sensitive way. I like that it didn’t really focus on the a-hole but more how strong, smart women were taken in by him. These jerks abound out there; moral of the story: meet guys only through friends

How do podcasts like this even get produced? It was all downhill after the first episode. Discombobulated, rambling, redundant…

Learned about this from Family Secrets. I binge listened to this whole season. You are so talented. I am now a huge fan.

This podcast started off with a lot of promise, but quickly became a dull story with no substance. This isn’t a true crime story. There’s no crime committed unless a guy lying about himself to a girl he’s dating is a crime. He didn’t steal her money or her identity or really cause her any real harm. Yes, he’s probably a sociopath, but when she broke up with him, he went away. I should have stopped listening when she completely changed subjects and started talking about her messed up family, but I thought she’d circle back with some new interesting news about the guy. Nope. Don’t waste your time.

Had to hold back tears a few times. I’ve been there with a man so similar and traits. I still haven’t dated after eight years and was married for 19. What a shame that a person can be so deceitful and lack any kind of… I can’t even find the words.

The stories were good and compelling but I think they should have edited them better to be more cohesive and maybe keep the two topics separate versus swerving in and out. It’s quite sad both stories and she is brave to share.

I can relate to this story all too well and it was almost healing to listen too. The people who don’t get this story, I’m glad you don’t because I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. It is more difficult to overcome than one would think and I appreciate the voice this story gives to those who have been manipulated and traumatized. Thank you.

Thank you for taking on this project and sharing the journey of your life - childhood trauma, grief journey, impact of trauma and highlighting the choices of some of your family members to support one another and move through the pain. There were many relatable moments and validation. Thank you for opening yourself up to all of us. 🥰🤗

Boring. Nothing really happens. The girls was cheated on after five months of a long distance. Take a number

Came here from the feature on family secrets podcast and was not disappointed

This story got wilder and wilder… and variations of this are all too familiar to women who are out here trying to date.

I’m not even sure what the point of this podcast was. She dated a tinder cheater… her sister commuted suicide… her granny died.. her dad is a good guy. What’s the point here?! We all have sad life stories.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. It was a little confusing but it kept me interested. I binged all episodes in 1 day. While working. Looking forward to season 2

I can’t get past the first episode. The tone is so slow and boring. Too bad

Clearly the folks that are giving a low rating lack the skill of critical thinking. They make it clear with their written review stating things like “meandering” “what’s this about” & my favorite being “you don’t have a voice for podcasting”😳🤭Seriously? These folks don’t realize how this shines a light on their ignorance. IF you actually listen to the entire podcast there is nothing difficult to understand or follow. It makes complete sense & it’s full of emotion & integrity. So brave of you to actually follow through with it & share interviews & Q&A to tie it up. Is it your fault that a listener didn’t get the “wild ride” they blindly anticipated??? These reviews are rich in comic relief & show such self centered ignorance. I hope you are proud of the work you’ve put into this but more, I trust this has helped your journey of healing. I’m just another flawed & hurting human & when someone like yourself shares raw emotion it helps others to not feel so alone. And your Dad??? Wow. You’re a lucky woman to have such a loving committed relationship & I know you both cherish it. Thank you so very much for your vulnerable work. I 5 ⭐️ appreciate it🫶🏼

It’s been a very long time since I listened to a podcast that I was so drawn to! I couldn’t stop and found myself listening when I was making dinner, cleaning, doing laundry, etc. Fantastic storytelling - I was absolutely hooked! I cannot wait for the next season to come out! Wonderful!
