Red flag, green flag, or beige flag?

This week, Sierra and Michael-Thomas discuss the pettiest red flags imaginable—from people who only communicate through Snapchat to workplaces that insist "we're a family here." They also explore friendship green flags, authenticity, long-term relationships, and the small habits that make us question everything.

It's a funny, lighthearted conversation about the quirks, preferences, and behaviors we all secretly judge.

Sierra and Michael-Thomas talk all things graduation — the excitement, the anxiety, the sweat-filled regalia, and the strange realization that nobody actually knows what they’re doing afterward. From mentorship and career advice to nostalgic high school memories and chaotic commencement ceremonies, this episode is equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and painfully relatable.
