Episode 159: Gone Girl: Red Flags + Dating Safety

Dating today isn’t just confusing; it can be dangerous if you don’t know what to look for. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Justin Smith to talk about the darker side of modern relationships and why so many people miss the warning signs until it’s too late.

Justin shares his personal experience with emotional abuse and how ignoring his gut led him into a toxic relationship. That experience became the catalyst for creating Cray, an app designed to help people spot red flags early and protect themselves before things escalate.

They talk about manipulation, trauma, and the long road back to trusting yourself again. But this isn’t just about what goes wrong; it’s about what you can do differently. From learning to recognize patterns to prioritizing your safety, this conversation is about taking your power back in a dating world that doesn’t always feel safe.

If you’ve ever second-guessed your instincts or stayed longer than you should have, this episode will resonate.

Tune in for a real conversation about dating, awareness, and protecting yourself in today’s world.
