    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.

    On this Unfiltered, I’m joined by a woman who opens up about the year long relationship she was in where her boyfriend was unable to love her due to trauma from past relationships. She shares how he continuously told her he wanted to get there, how she remained patient, and how it became an elephant in the room and often prevented her from expressing her love. We hear what finally led her to break things off with him, and how she’s working to move forward knowing that she’s worthy of love.

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

Great overall!!

Unfiltered is my favorite episode kind, I love learning from actual life stories. So many of the guests were incredible!! I do however agree with what someone else wrote that some advice is a tiny bit generic and not a fan of the pov- I made this mistake, but because I am telling you, you shouldn’t now. I feel that’s not how humans work hah. Would love to hear the specific things you did to overcome certain thoughts or challenges vs. a simple - well you shouldn’t do that it’s a mistake. I noticed that with Life in Progress too and it’s not great. Everything else is why I keep on listening!!
