My Proposal Got RUINED

September 25, 2026 · 50 min

Show notes

Lucas is ENGAGED—and almost every surprise he planned for the proposal fell apart.

This week on Mommy Issues, Lucas tells his mom how he popped the question, the meaning behind the ring, and why announcing his engagement cost him 2,000 Instagram followers. They also get into feeling ready for marriage, hitting one million followers, and a late-night food delivery that brought Lucas face-to-face with his biggest fear. Wendy keeps the vocabulary corrections coming, while listener updates take them from a heartfelt breakup follow-up to a very unexpected development with a listener seeing a man 25 years older than her.

Plus: nipple piercings, tattoo debates, and conversations you probably wouldn't want to have with your mother.
