Summary

Kaitlyn Braun posed as a vulnerable, pregnant woman in need of support—but it was all a lie. Over the years, she manipulated dozens of compassionate doulas with elaborate stories of sexual assault, stillbirths, cancer, and medical trauma, taking advantage of their kindness and dedication. Her deception left lasting emotional scars on those who tried to help her, causing financial loss, PTSD, and even driving some doulas away from their profession.In this episode, we break down the shocking details of Braun’s web of lies, the psychological factors behind her behavior, and how her actions led to over 50 criminal charges.
