Dating is a Dumpster Fire: Part 1

In this episode, Melie dives headfirst into the dumpster fire that is modern dating—because why swipe right when you can swipe into chaos? After 15 years out of the dating game, she's sharing her hilariously honest and faith-filled take on the world of dating apps, catfishing, breadcrumbing, and ghosting (oh my!). With her signature blend of humor and wisdom, Melie unpacks the emotional rollercoaster of modern romance, reminding listeners that their worth isn't up for debate—even when their DMs are a mess. Spoiler alert: hope and resilience might just be your best match yet.
