<div> <p>After years of handling divorce and infidelity cases, Michele opens up about how the job can leave even the sharpest minds a little jaded—and hyper-aware of red flags. But beneath her tough exterior, she still believes in love, even if “your person” might evolve over time. The twist? She admits she often misses when someone is flirting—unless they’re very direct. Inspired by insights from an upcoming <em>lovelustlaw</em> episode with affair coach Lauren LaRusso, Michele and Jake dive into the gray areas of modern relationships. They explore questions like what actually counts as cheating, where the line should be drawn between privacy and secrecy, and what it really means if you feel the urge to check your partner’s phone. Michele also pulls back the curtain on her personal transformation—from losing over 120 pounds to embracing a bold new look that boosted her confidence—and reflects on the traits that make great litigators: competitiveness, resilience, and a love for the spotlight, before recounting and sharing a clip of her live appearance on <em>True Crime Tonight</em>, where high-stakes moments ranged from a chilling domestic abuse call to major legal debates and a newborn CPS case where her warning may have changed a child’s fate forever.</p><p>**DISCLAIMER** The information shared in this podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.
