In a profession built on trust, compassion is supposed to be the foundation.

Doulas are invited into some of the most vulnerable moments of people’s lives — offering support, reassurance, and care when families need it most. But what happens when that trust is carefully studied, copied… and exploited?

In this episode, we explore a disturbing case of deception that unfolded not through violence, but through emotional manipulation. Messages asking for help turned into relationships built on false identities, leaving a community questioning how well we truly know the people we connect with online.

This is a story about empathy, digital intimacy, and the danger that can exist when kindness becomes the doorway.

As always, we approach this case with care, centering the experiences of those affected and examining the larger questions it raises about trust in an increasingly online world.
