Why Your Red Flag Radar Might Be Broken (and What to Do Instead) - EP34

We all talk about red flags, but do we really understand what they mean? In this episode, Nick breaks down the real story behind red flags in dating and long-term relationships. You’ll learn where the term actually comes from, why our brains are wired to scan for danger in love, and how to tell the difference between something worth walking away from… and something worth leaning into.

Nick explores how “red flag culture” can sometimes be a clever disguise for emotional avoidance and why being too quick to judge or too slow to speak up can sabotage connection. He also introduces a powerful framework for sorting concerns into yellow, red, and black flags, and offers practical advice for how to talk about your worries without blowing up your relationship.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I being too picky—or not picky enough?” then this episode is for you.
