The Definition of a Bad Guy

Bethany went on a date. She had to escape from his house.

In this episode, Bethany sits down with us to talk about the night a potential romantic interest revealed himself to be something far darker — and how she got out. What followed wasn't just recovery from one terrifying night. It was years of rebuilding trust, navigating the lasting impact of trauma, and finding her way back to herself through music, therapy, and a husband who showed her what safe actually feels like.

This one is hard to hear. It's also incredibly important.

If Bethany's story moved you, she recommends Help;Hear;Heal — a nonprofit that sponsors free mental health therapy for survivors through TriveWorks. It's the kind of resource that changes lives.

And when you're done listening, go find her band. Plastic Angels — you'll be glad you did.

Narcissists, Gaslighters, & Cheaters, Oh My! — real folks, real stories, survival & healing.
