Welcome back, humor consumers, to the Life Happens, Laugh Anyway podcast, where comedian Tracy DeGraaf and co-host Cathrine bring you an episode full of intrigue, humor, and life lessons.

In the heart of our pod lab, we're diving into the mind-boggling story of 'Scamanda,' a gripping tale suggested by our friend Kim Teske. This episode unravels the layers of deception spun by Amanda C. Riley, a woman who captivated her community with a false narrative of cancer, pulling on heartstrings and pocketbooks alike.

Today, you will walk through...

  • The crazy con job Amanda pulled over on people
  • Tracy and Cathrine will share valuable tips on how to avoid being scammed
  • They will discuss the challenging path to forgiveness when deceit shakes the foundation of trust.

As always, Tracy and Cathrine are armed with scripture and a call to action that you won't want to miss.

Dive into episode 113 and join us in uncovering the truth behind Scamanda's tangled web!
