The Secret to
moving forward!
The real-life mother-daughter duo that inspired the Golden-Globe winning "Dirty John" series dials in to discuss life after hardship. Debra recounts how a criminal internet scammer manipulated his way into her heart and into her family, and the red flags that she couldn't see until things got way too far. The scammer, John Meehan, lied about his profession, criminal history, drug usage, and abuse history. He isolated Debra from her family, which ultimately led to John violently attacking her daughter, Terra, at knifepoint. You will NOT believe Terra's account of this attack, and the self-defense measures she took to survive. Debra and Terra then shift gears, talking about life after this experience, and the steps they have both taken to feel like THEMSELVES again. Their story is a perfect example that you CAN live a life that you are proud of the following trauma. Robin discusses relationship red flags, how to ask for and receive help, and how you can choose to move forward with your life. Stay until the end for a fun, lighthearted game where Debra and Terra guess celebrity mother-daughter duos!
