    In this episode of Fill & Spill, we’re breaking down the obvious—and not so obvious—red flags in relationships, dating, friendships, and even family dynamics. From chronic lateness and lack of communication to love bombing, codependency, and straight-up wild behavior… nothing is off limits.

    • The difference between healthy dependence vs. codependency
    • How boundaries and communication can protect you
    • Red flags in dating (especially online 👀)
    • When your gut is trying to tell you something—and why you should listen

    And because we love a little chaos… we’re reading some unhinged real-life red flag stories from Reddit (trust us, they get wild 😳).

    Whether you’re dating, in a relationship, or reevaluating your circle, this episode will help you recognize patterns, trust yourself, and stop settling for less than you deserve.
