About this episode

This is one of the most powerful episodes I've recorded. This episode will give you hope. What do you do when a wedding engagement no longer feels right, even when everyone else thinks you should go through with it? Debbie Engel—the real runaway bride—shares the gut-level warning signs she ignored, the hard choice to break off three engagements, and how that painful clarity ultimately led her to the right marriage. Debbie’s story is not about running away from commitment. It’s about learning how to recognize peace, spot red flags, and trust wise counsel before you say “I do.” If you’ve ever felt trapped by a relationship, pressured by other people’s expectations, or unsure whether your instincts are telling you the truth, this conversation will hit home.
