Summary

It’s the first episode of 2026 and we’re starting with a real conversation about dating, happiness, and letting go of the timeline we thought we were on. Stella Stephanopoulos joins me to talk about being single without spiraling, why wanting a relationship isn’t the same as needing one, and what dating actually looks like when you stop chasing validation. We get into red flags, confidence, approaching people IRL, and why building a full life comes first. If you’re entering the new year single and questioning everything, this one’s for you.

Stella Stephanopoulos, welcome back to seeing other people. Thank you for having me and doing this in

0:08.6

person is so much fun. I know. I feel like we've done this twice virtually and now this is our

0:13.8

second time in person. I know. And I feel like also when I think about the previous interviews

0:18.8

that we recorded, I kind of like cringe for myself

0:21.9

because it was just such a different phase of life.

0:24.1

Like I think there is still wisdom there, but it's kind of crazy to just reflect on like the

0:28.9

conversations we were having in, I don't know, 2022 versus now.

0:32.5

It's funny because I feel like we're at like a once a year cadence.

0:36.4

And every single time I leave a conversation with you,

0:38.4

I'm like, oh my God, I have so much to think about. You're so wise. I also feel like you are the

0:46.0

most well-spoken person on the planet. Oh my God. Thank you. Like, are you aware of that about

0:51.7

yourself? Thank you. That is a very kind compliment i completely

0:55.2

mean it thank you um i i guess like podcasting practice but i i don't know like everything that i

1:02.2

talk about in my show it just really lights me up and so to be able to communicate that in a way

1:06.4

that makes sense to people is so important to me so thank you that i really really appreciate that. Well, I'm really excited. If you guys are new to seeing other people and you have not met Stella before on the podcast, she is the host of Everyday Endorphins. And we're going to have a really great conversation. We both don't know what we're going to talk about today. And I sometimes I'm like, should I make an outline? Should I not? And I have a few

1:28.2

things I know I want to talk to you about. But I also know this is one of those where like there are a

1:33.6

million in one directions we can go in. And every single direction will be so worthwhile.

1:39.3

Yeah. I mean, I'm an open book and I'm ready to take this anyway that we want to. It's interesting also because it's December. And I've been doing this like, I haven't done it yet. But in my brain, I've had the intention to do like a 2025 retrospective on life. And I feel like it's kind of like the perfect timing that we're talking today, just about dating and relationships and all the things. This is kind of going to kick it off for you. Yeah. All right. Strap in. Okay. So you've been single

2:06.3

your whole life. Yes. How old are you? 26. I see, I can't believe you're 26. I even because that

2:15.7

means like the first time we ever talked, you were like 22.

2:18.9

Yeah. Yes. That's that blows my mind. Okay. You are 26 years young. Yes. Yes.
