The Truth About Dating a Narcissist with Ann Marie Allison | EP 61

What are the warning signs of a narcissistic relationship, and why do so many people miss them until it's too late? In this episode, Raif and Rahul welcome filmmaker Ann Marie Allison for a thoughtful conversation about the personal story behind her latest film and the lessons it shares about relationships. Ann Marie reflects on the path from idea to production, sharing what it took to finance an independent feature, earn the support of investors, and assemble a cast that could bring the story to life. She also discusses working with Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei, the director's role in shaping a film, and the realities of getting an independent project in front of audiences. The discussion also explores the emotional patterns often found in narcissistic relationships. Drawing from Ann Marie's experiences and their work as divorce attorneys, Raif and Rahul examine how these dynamics develop, why they can be difficult to recognize, and whether growing awareness of narcissism is helping people identify unhealthy relationships sooner. Blending filmmaking with real-life relationship insights, this episode looks at the power of storytelling, the importance of meaningful connection, and the value of sharing experiences that help others better understand themselves. The conversation closes with a look at independent film distribution and why supporting indie filmmakers helps bring important stories to the screen. Subscribe for new episodes every week.

Did School Absences Cost Drew Sidora Custody? + Zoe Kravitz's $500K Ring | EP 59

Did Drew Sidora really lose primary custody over her kids' school absences? We break down the court decision everyone's talking about—plus Zoe Kravitz's reported $500K engagement ring and the dating rule the internet won't stop debating. In this episode we cover: Drew Sidora's custody setback and how school attendance can actually factor into family court rulings; Shannon Elizabeth's divorce and post-marriage career moves; Kimora Lee Simmons' divorce; and the reports swirling around Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles. We also take a listener question many separated parents face—what happens to custody when one parent moves far away—and dig into the "eight-week dating rule" and whether there's really an ideal timeline for knowing if a relationship has long-term potential. As always, we pull apart the legal strategy, family dynamics, and relationship lessons the way only divorce lawyers can.
