It is blunt, eye opening, darkly funny, and essen...
In Episode Three, we sit down with a woman still in the trenches, married to an addict, raising kids, paying bills, and stepping around emotional landmines every day. BethAnn’s story is not polished or past tense. It is happening right now.We talk about surviving love when it is complicated, holding a family together with duct tape, and why being called “so strong” feels more insulting than inspiring. We go behind the Instagram ver...
In Episode Two, we bring in Dr. Audrey, the therapist who specializes in addiction, families, and the emotional triage required when you love someone living in a tornado. She breaks down why addiction turns every family member into an unwilling first responder, why we tolerate the intolerable, and why “just leave” is the most useless advice imaginable. With equal parts clinical truth and dark humor, Dr. Audrey explains the patterns...
Welcome to Episode One, where we unzip the first bag and immediately wish we had not. This is ground zero, the messy, complicated, darkly hilarious beginning of Not My Baggage. We go back to the marriage, the mayhem, the spectacular mistakes, and the moment I realized loving an addict had turned my life into a full-time crisis management job with no salary, no benefits, and no training.

Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
