In this episode, I’m joined by Therapist and Secure Attachment Coach Trevor Hanson to breaks down what anxious attachment really looks like in dating—and why feeling “not enough” can quietly shape your relationships. We talk about self-sabotage, chasing emotionally unavailable partners, and how to shift from fear to security. If you’ve ever felt unlovable or stuck in patterns you can’t explain, this one will hit home.

This week we’re talking about Ilana’s half marathon experience and what the race actually felt like compared to training. We get into why running can be such a mental challenge and how expectations going in can shape the experience. Jake shares about his weekend at Mohegan Sun and we talk about gambling, risk, and why it can be so appealing. Ilana also shares her new focus on trying new things, from adult gymnastics to pottery and potentially learning how to sew. We wrap things up with a blind ranking of double date ideas and our thoughts on what actually makes them fun.

This week we’re back from Hawaii and immediately thrown into jet lag, daylight savings, and the reality of jumping straight back into work. We talk about how quickly vacation mode disappears once the Sunday scaries hit and real life starts again. We recap some of our favorite moments from the trip, including playing with baby animals and exploring fruit farms in Kauai. Ilana shares some big news and the complicated feelings that came with it, and we spiral into TikTok fame, influencer culture, AI, and what the future might look like.
