This week on Good Moms Bad Choices, Erica and Milah welcome makeup artist, creative director, and outspoken content creator Ruthelia for a raw, unfiltered conversation about domestic violence, toxic relationships, betrayal, and finding the courage to speak your truth.

In her podcast debut, Ruthelia opens up about surviving an abusive relationship, the manipulation that kept pulling her back, and the moment she burned her marriage license just 30 days before her wedding. She shares her experience with alleged stalking, online harassment, mental health struggles, and the complicated reality of leaving someone you've built a life with.

The conversation explores recognizing red flags, navigating dating after heartbreak, protecting our daughters, breaking cycles of abuse, and why women should never have to stay silent to protect the people who hurt them.

Plus, Ruthelia shares the dating disaster that led to her bad choice of the week, what her father taught her about relationships, and how she turned her voice and makeup platform into a space for unapologetic conversations.
