    N of 1: Using one experience or example to make a decision
    Feb 23 2026

    In this episode we go over one of the sneakiest red flags, we call N of 1.

    This can be a yellow flag or a glaring red flag, and can skew how we think and make decisions. using a single, striking example to drive a huge decision or come up with a framework for ideas. This can cause us to have the wrong expectations, such as incorrectly expecting a person to always be supportive when they only demonstrated this one time. We also talk about the red flag of Lauren not knowing what a lavender latte is.

    Please note that no lavender lattes were hurt in the recording of this podcast.
