Seeing Other People

Breakups today aren’t just about letting go of a person — they’re about navigating texts, timelines, algorithmic reminders, and the pressure to "heal fast." Therapist and Lonely Hearts Club founder Lexi Joondeph-Breidbart joins Ilana to unpack what actually helps people move on, why we obsess over old messages, and how to know if it's time to unfollow, mute, or block your ex for good. @lonelyheartsclub_nyc www.lonelyheartsclubnyc.com https://www.wavypaththerapy.com/ ALL links here (dating coaching, profile revamp, marathon fundraiser, and more!)  Get $10 off your Nutrafol subscription at nutrafol.com promo code SEEINGOTHERPEOPLE  Stop putting off those doctor appointments and instantly book a top-rated doctor today at zocdoc.com/seeingotherpeople Go to HelloFresh.com/seeingotherpeople10fm to get 10 Free Meals with a Free Item For Life.

Ryan Kenny, a comedian and avid dater, shares his amusing insights into the world of modern dating. He tackles ghosting, the fatigue from dating apps, and the challenges of initiating conversations. Their chat takes a comedic turn as they explore the awkwardness of first dates, bad sex with good people, and the perceptions surrounding exclusivity talks. Kenny also highlights the art of crafting engaging dating profiles and the significance of authentic communication, all while keeping the mood light with humorous anecdotes.

In this Unfiltered, a 39-year-old New Yorker opens up about dating a guy who was terrible for her, but ultimately changed her life for the better. Before, she was stuck in the “cool girl” role, hiding her needs and feeling constant anxiety. After this relationship led her to work with a relationship coach, she learned to be honest with herself and others and date without shame, leading to her now connecting with people who don’t trigger her fears.

Dana, a 31-year-old nurse, shares how her seemingly “on track” life slowly unraveled in a toxic marriage that took a toll on her mental and physical health, even causing heart palpitations. After facing manipulation, family drama, and feeling like a stranger in her own life, Dana hit rock bottom — but that moment became the start of her healing. She opens up about rediscovering herself through therapy, self-care, and leaning on her family, and how she’s now focused on rebuilding her independence and creating a life that actually feels good.

n this solo episode, I’m catching you up on life lately—books I'm reading, finishing my half marathon, how I feel about content creation right now, and whether I ever miss being single. I’m also answering your questions on dating app upgrades, chemistry that’s missing, ghosting after three great dates, confusing “what are we” situations, and wedding drama with a very pregnant bridesmaid. It’s honest, a little messy, and very real. Subscribe to our Patreon show Cohosts for Life for weekly bonus episodes from me and Jake!

I’m joined by Han Huante, host of How I See It, for a vulnerable conversation about mental health, dating patterns, and the real (often messy) work of healing. We talk about how moving out of her comfort zone triggered depression and anxiety, how self-hatred shaped who she dated, and why being “real” with yourself is the first step toward real peace. Hannah opens up about choosing discomfort to find clarity, busts a few big healing myths, and shares why fear has been one of her greatest teachers.

I sit down with Danielle Dietzek and Julie Griggs, the cofounders of Fourplay Social (@fourplaysocial), for a real, unfiltered girl chat. We’re diving deep into what it feels like when your friends are hitting major life milestones like marriage, babies, and buying homes, while you're still single and wondering if you’re getting left behind. We talk about the pressure to define yourself by your relationship status, the confusing space of wanting a relationship but knowing it might not quite fit into your life right now, and the scary thought of maybe not finding a life partner at all. We also get into how to meet new single friends as an adult, and how to bring up these vulnerable conversations with the people in your life—without shame, and without feeling like you're being dramatic.
