    Can Guys and Girls Be "Just Friends?"

    Can Guys and Girls Be "Just Friends?"

    My friends Sammy and Glenn met as coworkers and became close “friends with nonsexual benefits.” Sammy and Glenn share how they’ve helped each other naviate dating situations by providing the perspective of the opposite gender, talking one another off the ledge when they’re spiraling, and hyping each other up IRL. We hear how they’ve grown as daters, if they’ve ever argued or disagreed on how to approach a dating situation, how they’ve found the confidence to go to singles events & more.

    "We Met & Broke Up At Work"

    "We Met & Broke Up At Work"

    I’m joined by a 30 year old woman who opens up about spending a year and a half in a tumultuous on again, off again situationship with someone she met at work. She shares how things went from being blissful to confusing overnight, and how she never knew which version of him she would get when she would walk into work or spend time with him. We hear how her friends expressed their concern, how he ruined her 28th birthday, and how she found out he was seeing someone else while they were together. She shares what her healing journey has looked like, the difficulties of trying to move forward while having to see the person everyday, and what she’d learned from going through this experience.

Ilana is the best!

Seeing Other People has really evolved into such a great dating podcast! Each episode provides insight to make you a stronger single individual and a more empathetic dater. Listening to this podcast helped me go from a very anxious dater just hoping to please my date to a confident dater who doesn’t let getting ghosted ruin her day. This unique podcast blends a mix of dating experts with real life daters and I highly recommend giving it a listen.

big fan

I don’t typically listen to dating podcasts but the content Ilana puts out into the world makes other people feel less alone in their dating lives. Her career is centered around helping others and I admire the way she is able to do that while constantly putting herself out there on the internet which is NOT easy!!!!

Bundle of joy

Ilana rocks. She facilitated elegant conversations which get me thinking and striving to be the best partner I can. Big fan.
