| 0:04.9 | Hey guys, it's Alana and you're listening to seeing other people unfiltered. |
| 0:10.0 | It's Thursday, so that means real-life daters are coming on to share their real, sometimes shocking, and always unfiltered experiences. |
| 0:17.9 | Think you're alone out there? |
| 0:19.1 | Think you're the only one whose ex hooked up with your mom |
| 0:21.6 | or whose last date ended up being a catfish? Think again. So I am anonymous. I am 30 years old, |
| 0:28.4 | just turned 30 last week. And I'm here to just talk about my dating journey throughout my life, |
| 0:35.5 | whether it's related to my career or just kind of general life |
| 0:38.6 | experiences. I'm so happy to have you. And can you fill everybody in on what your career is? |
| 0:46.2 | Yes. So I'm a veterinarian, but I'm also a resident. So I've been doing internships and |
| 0:52.7 | residencies for the past many years now. |

| 1:16.9 | perspective because I often get DMs of like, oh, I just met somebody in there, a resident |
| 1:22.2 | pursuing X, Y, Z thing. Like, should I even bother? And there are so many nuances to every job, |
| 1:30.6 | every career path, but this is one that is very demanding. And I'm sure has a lot of specific |
| 1:38.8 | things that people might not understand about it. And I'm sure there are people who do |
| 1:42.4 | want to date and people who don't want to date who are residents. So excited to hear your journey. Where do you want to begin? |
| 1:50.9 | Oh, gosh. I guess I'll begin just kind of with a general mindset, I guess, of going into residency. |
| 1:58.0 | And, you know, like I said, I'm a veterinarian. A lot of people want to do that |
