Married at 28, divorcing at 29 - how I learned to own the narrative

"At 28, I thought I was building the life I'd always dreamed of. I got engaged, shared it with my audience, and then brought them along on the journey. Over 10 million people watched my "Get Married With Me" video across my platforms. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my life, magnified by the fact that I had built this level of trust and connection with my community."

"The person I had married misrepresented who they were on nearly every level. Behind the curated moments and public smiles was a predatory relationship. I took what could have been my deepest humiliation and turned it into a story of resilience. I launched my "Married at 28. Divorcing at 29" TikTok series. I wasn't sensationalizing my heartbreak. Instead, I was reclaiming the narrative and processing what had happened to me in the most honest way possible."
