“I wasn’t infertile. I was being gaslit.” (Divorced at age 26)

At 26 years old, this audience caller thought she was building a life — trying for a baby, working for her husband’s family business, and living in their shared home. But everything was a lie. In this anonymous caller episode, Lucie hears one of the most jaw-dropping divorce stories yet: a young woman tricked into thinking she was infertile while her husband was secretly preventing pregnancy for nearly a year. After losing her job, her house, her marriage, and even her dog, she found herself forced to rebuild from scratch. What follows is a raw, emotional, and ultimately empowering story about betrayal, resilience, and how rock bottom can sometimes be the start of everything.
