    “He’s Marrying (One Of) The Girls He Cheated On Me With”

    “He’s Marrying (One Of) The Girls He Cheated On Me With”

    I'm joined by a woman who opens up about how her nine-year relationship with her high school boyfriend that was filled with infidelity and emotional abuse finally came to an end. She shares how she held onto the idea of what the person she wanted him to be vs the person he was, along with how she became stronger because of what she went through. We discuss dating after a breakup of this magnitude, what she learned from working with a life coach, and what she's looking for now. Plus, we chat about how we're all guilty of accepting less than we deserve and that you're never alone no matter how isolated you feel in what you're going through.

    How To Manifest Your Future Partner

    I’m joined by Carleigh Ferrante, writer and host of the dating and wellness podcast Mostly Balanced. Carleigh and I chat about how she went from being avoidant and fiercely independent to manifesting her now-boyfriend of over a year. We discuss how she maintained her independence in her relationship, why it’s important to look within when considering what you’re looking for, and how you can set yourself up for dating success. We answer listener questions about the ick, saving friendships, and making the first move.

Love it

I love this podcast and it is the only podcast I listen to on a regular basis. It is so relatable and I am happy to have it. Dating in NYC can feel so lonely, so it helps me feel a little less lonely. I love hearing people’s stories on the unfiltered episodes. It even inspired me to reach out to Ilana as well! Looking forward to future episodes! Highly recommend
