Motherhood Defined: Navigating Love, Toxic Relationships & Personal Growth with Erin Brooks | Chopped by T Podcast
In this episode of Chopped by T Podcast, we sit down with Erin Brooks for an honest, raw, and deeply personal conversation about motherhood, surviving abuse, toxic relationships, and the journey toward healing and self-love.
Erin opens up about the realities of becoming a mother, navigating unhealthy relationships, recognizing red flags, and the emotional challenges that come with learning your worth.
We explore some difficult questions: Can someone genuinely love you and still be toxic for you? Why do people stay in relationships they know are unhealthy? How does motherhood change the way you view love, relationships, and yourself?
From heartbreak and difficult lessons to personal growth and finding strength, this conversation explores what it means to survive, heal, and redefine love on your own terms.
Because sometimes the greatest lesson love teaches us is knowing when to choose ourselves.

I Dated a DL Man: Secrets, Lies & the “Straight” Man Who Lived a Double Life
What happens when the man everybody knows as “straight” is living an entirely different life behind closed doors?
TJ returns to Chopped by T Podcast for a raw tell-all about his experience dealing with a down-low man—a relationship filled with secrecy, intimacy, other women, betrayal, a shocking discovery, a physical confrontation, and eventually a legal situation neither of them saw coming.
From how they first connected to what happened when feelings became real, TJ walks us through the entire relationship from beginning to end. We also get into the larger conversation surrounding DL men, down-low relationships, straight-identifying men who privately pursue men, secrecy in gay dating, masculinity, sexuality, and what it feels like to be loved in private but hidden in public.
How much can you really know about someone who's living two different lives?
Watch until the end—because by the time TJ finishes this story, you'll understand exactly why he calls this man “the worst type of straight man.”

In this episode of Chopped By T Podcast, we sit down for a powerful conversation about growing up in a home impacted by addiction, alcoholism, domestic violence, and childhood trauma.
Our guest opens up about watching his father abuse his mother, stepping into the role of protector at a young age, and what it was like growing up while both of his parents battled addiction. We explore how those childhood experiences can follow you into adulthood—affecting relationships, trust, manhood, and the way you view yourself.
But this conversation isn't only about trauma. We also talk about breaking generational cycles, forgiveness, healing, purpose, spirituality, and what it takes to become something different from the environment that raised you.
How do you heal from a childhood you had no control over? How do you forgive your parents while still acknowledging the ways their decisions affected you? And when you've spent your childhood surviving, how do you finally learn how to live?
This is a conversation about pain, survival, healing, and turning what you went through into purpose.
Chopped By T Podcast — real people, real stories, real conversations.
