Red Flags, Real Recovery: How Cray Helps You Date Safer and Smarter with Justin Smith

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Justin Smith, creator of Cray, a dating safety app built from a deeply personal breakup and rebuild. Justin shares how a sudden, traumatic relationship collapse pushed him to question reality, spot manipulation patterns, and turn hard-earned lessons into a tool that helps others avoid the same pain.

This conversation is for anyone who feels confused, drained, or unsafe in dating or long-term relationships, and wants clearer signals before things get worse. You will walk away with practical ways to compare words vs actions, understand why red flags matter, and use simple tools that support safer decisions without shame.

About the Guest:

Justin Smith is the creator of Cray, an app designed to help people recognize relationship red flags and manipulation patterns. Based in the U.S., he built Cray after a difficult end to an eight-year relationship.

Key Takeaways:

• Ask: “Is this reality, or am I being pushed into a false story?”

• Compare words vs actions because consistency reveals truth faster than promises.

• Red flags matter more when you understand why they are dangerous, not just what they are.

• Use layered safety checks: relationship health, manipulation risk, legal history, and identity verification.

• If you would not accept this behavior for your child, do not normalize it for yourself.

• Tools reduce shame because you can seek clarity privately before asking others for advice.
