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.

We recorded this episode on our actual one-year anniversary, from Turks and Caicos! We set out to recap the year, and ended up talking about how Ilana ruined the surprise trip, little moments that brought us joy, and what our marriage actually feels like day to day. We answer listener questions about what the first year of marriage has really looked like, what we do and don't remember from our wedding, what our plans are for what's to come, and more.

TW: This episode my be triggering to those with sensitivities around physical and emotional abuse. I’m joined by Ryan Spencer, who I met on the Tamron Hall Show, for a powerful conversation about healing, heartbreak, and holding out hope for love. Ryan opens up about leaving an abusive relationship, the strength it took to start over, and the frustration of wanting love so badly after doing the work—therapy, growth, reflection—and still not finding it. She shares how her family became her village, the lessons she’s learned in therapy, and how she’s finally enjoying dating again without the pressure to find "the one."

Jen Glantz (@jenglantz) has stood beside hundreds of brides—literally. As the founder of Bridesmaid for Hire and author of three books, she’s seen everything from dream weddings to full-on meltdowns. In this episode, she opens up about her own love story, what finally made her feel ready to say “I do,” and why she and her husband chose to elope after living out of suitcases and hopping cities. We get into the messy, emotional side of weddings: cold feet, pre-wedding panic, and what it really means when you’re not sure if you want to go through with it. Jen shares what she's learned from being behind the scenes on the most intense day of people's lives—and how those lessons shaped her own relationship. Plus, we read some relatable listener scenarios about relationship doubts, wedding stress, and feeling left behind when you’re the only single one in the group.

Ilana is joined by Human Design expert and author Erin Claire Jones (@erinclairejones) to break down how understanding your unique design can shift the way you date, connect, and make decisions in love. Erin explains what Human Design is, how it compares to tools like astrology or the Enneagram, and how your chart reveals insights into your relationship patterns and emotional wiring. They talk about the five Human Design types and how each one tends to show up in dating, why we’re drawn to certain people, and how to tell the difference between authentic traits and protective patterns. Erin also shares what she’s learned from working with thousands of couples, how to navigate red flags, and how your design can help you stop second-guessing yourself when it comes to love.
Erin's book "How Do You Choose" is out now wherever books are sold.
