About this episode
Welcome to the new re-branded Love Life Podcast, where Matthew, Audrey, and Stephen bring you fresh relationship insights, answer your questions, and throw in a silly game or two every week! In this inaugural episode, we're flipping the script on dating talk—everyone loves to discuss red flags, but today, we're diving into green flags: the subtle but crucial signs that someone is truly relationship material. Topics Covered in This Episode:
  • Why society is obsessed with red flags and how to shift focus to green flags
  • The #1 trait that predicts long-term relationship success
  • The power of celebrating each other's successes in a relationship
  • Why curiosity and learning about your partner is a game-changer
  • How to recognize real green flags vs. performative charm
  • What to do if you’re only attracted to red flag energy
  • Plus: We introduce Green Flag Dilemmas, a fun game that may or may not return
