Fave Podcast!

This is my favorite podcast to listen to! It often feels like therapy and Carly and Ilana are such fun podcast hosts. Come for the topics and stay for the fun “would you rather” questions!

Fun, Vulnerable, and Overall great podcast!

Absolutely love listening to this podcast! Great for anyone trying to be intentional about dating, or adulting, and adult friendships!

cuzeke ,

Love hearing your perspectives!

Thank you both for your vulnerability/openness in your topics! Love listening to your episodes :) One topic idea is to discuss the process of waiting for proposal/engagement in a relationship, especially for people who already struggle with anxiety & any advice you might have now that you’re both on the other side
