Description: In this episode of Awf The Record, Jeannette Reyes and Mona Kosar Abdi sit down with Reesa Teesa to talk about life after the viral Who TF Did I Marry? series, the red flags she missed, the shame that kept her silent, and the healing she is still walking through in real time. Reesa opens up about dating from potential instead of reality, realizing she had married a pathological liar, and why the fear of admitting “I’m getting played” felt scarier than the truth itself.From background checks and desperation dating to miscarriage, loneliness, faith, book deals, TV development, and learning how to edit the dream without giving up on it, this conversation goes far beyond the viral story. It is honest, funny, painful, and deeply human, reminding women that being single is never worse than being married to the wrong person.KEY POINTS00:00 - Introduction: Reesa Teesa’s story became a viral cultural moment02:15 - Reesa reflects on life after going viral03:50 - Reesa summarizes the story behind Who TF Did I Marry?05:26 - Reesa explains why accountability shaped the story’s reception09:27 - Reesa pushes back on the “it could never be me” mindset12:30 - Reesa explains how dating potential made her vulnerable15:14 - Reesa admits that facing the lie meant facing her own fear18:16 - Reesa breaks down how a pathological liar builds a false foundation22:39 - Reesa explains how money became part of the manipulation24:46 - Reesa explains how he “beat her to the story” and damaged her trust28:46 - Reesa opens up about the book, healing, and loneliness40:19 - Reesa talks about the TV series, business, shame, and life after viralityQUOTES “I tend to date off of potential and not reality.” – Reesa Teesa“There’s a difference between being alone and lonely.” – Jeannette Reyes“Being single is nowhere near as bad as being married to the wrong person.”  – Reesa TeesaGUEST RESOURCES: Reesa TeesaIG | @reesateesaAmazon book | What (TF) Do I Do Now?: Reclaiming Myself, One Piece at a Time RESOURCES: Keep in touch with Awf The Record:YouTube: @AwfTheRecordInstagram: @awftherecordpodcastTikTok: @AwfTheRecordMona Kosar AbdiIG |  @monakabdi Jeannette ReyesIG |  @msnewslady Keep in touch with Awf The Record:Watch on Youtube: @AwfTheRecordFollow us on Instagram: @awftherecordpodcastFollow us on TikTok: @AwfTheRecordVisit our website: www.AwfTheRecord.com Follow Mona on TikTok and IGFollow Jeannette on TikTok and IG
