About this episode
Red flags are easy to spot… until they’re attached to somebody hot. This week, the gang is back in Nashville getting into the red flags we ignored, justified, and probably should’ve run from immediately. From questionable street meets and tour bus stink to secret relationships, suspicious condoms, ankle monitors, Snapchat men, and hygiene habits that should be criminal—your DMs did not disappoint. Things get deeper as the girls talk toxic relationships, domestic violence, trauma, and why walking away isn’t always as easy as it looks. Plus, we’re getting into turn-ons, instant icks, relationship patterns, and why the internet can’t seem to understand that women can actually support each other without agreeing on everything. Some red flags whisper. These were screaming. Content warning: This episode includes discussions of domestic violence, sexual trauma, and emotionally abusive relationships.
