Today, I’m sharing the jaw-dropping update to the catfish story I first told on the podcast which recently resurfaced as a viral video series across my social platforms. In this solo episode, I reveals the unexpected twist — an email from the girl who faked her own death and ghosted me for five years. I walk through the production of my 13-part storytelling series, reflect on monetization and meaning as a content creator, and read the real emails exchanged behind the scenes. (Including the follow-up emails she sent me that I never read aloud on social.)
This episode is about truth, closure, boundaries, and what it means to turn something painful into something powerful. Plus: how I turned the story into a fundraising campaign for cancer research and the internet’s mixed reactions along the way.
