Send us a textThis weeks episode of Cherry Picked is one you wont want to miss! For nearly two decades, Marne thought she was living a love story—until the truth shattered everything. After 18 years of marriage, she uncovered a devastating betrayal: the man she built a life with wasn't who he claimed to be.

In this gripping episode, Marne shares her journey of love, deception, and ultimate survival. From the moment she first suspected something was wrong to the shocking revelations that followed, she takes us through the painful reality of discovering that her husband was a fraud. But this isn't just a story of betrayal—it's a story of resilience. With raw honesty and strength, Marne opens up about picking up the pieces, rebuilding her life from nothing, and finding her way back to herself. A cautionary tale for anyone who has ever trusted the wrong person, this episode is a must-listen for those who believe in the power of truth, healing, and reclaiming one's future.What do you think about Cherry Picked so far?!
