  • In this solo episode, I’m sharing some unexpected life updates—including a few medical things I’ve been navigating lately—and TV shows I recently found out not everyone has seen (which feels criminal, honestly). Then we’re diving into modern dating red flags that are actually... green. From not texting all day to taking things slow to living at home and not having social media, there are a lot of behaviors we’ve been taught to panic about that are actually signs of emotional maturity, intentionality, or just being a normal person with a life offline.Let’s break down what’s actually a red flag—and what might just be your inner saboteur overreacting.
