Samantha joins Liz and Tom to talk about her hunt, and the surprises she found along the way.

Small towns have their own set of rules when it comes to dating, especially when your ex still lives in town.

Michelle missed a lot of red flags when she met Justin because when you live in a small town, there’s not as many fish in the sea to choose from. But as their relationship progressed, the issues mounted and suddenly Michelle couldn’t ignore them anymore.

Friendships can be some of the most meaningful connections in our lives—but when work and personal life collide, things can get complicated fast. In this episode of our Ghosts of Friends Past series, TV veteran and media commentator Rob McKnight joins us to share the story of how he realised it was time to end a friendship with someone who worked in the same industry.

Rob opens up about the slippery slope of mixing professional relationships with personal bonds: the blurred boundaries, the quiet red flags, and the moment he knew calling it quits was the healthiest option for both of them. If you’ve ever wrestled with balancing career and camaraderie—or questioned whether a friendship was becoming toxic—this conversation is for you.
