Welcome to Part 1 of this special 3 part Glow Up Series - How I got engaged in four months. Erin Darling is back with a personal and podcast rebrand. Hello again, Dahhhhling! Where has she been? Transforming her life one big uplevel at a time, NBD.  Are you tired of the endless cycle of toxic TikTok dating advice? I've got you covered.
