Summary

Erica Shea is back on the pod to catch up with us about taking time off from dating and finding the strength to end her most recent situationship. We talk about how it's normal (and sometimes beneficial) to be in a dating drought, how she knew it was time to end the situationship instead of continuing in discomfort, as many of us do. Later we discuss mindset shifts and laugh off some hilarious bad date stories.

Hey guys, it's Alana and you're listening to seeing other people unfiltered.

Think you're alone out there?

Think you're the only one whose ex hooked up

with your mom or whose last date ended up being a catfish? Think again. Hi, I miss you. I miss you too.

0:28.1

It's been a minute. It's been a minute. Also, I'm literally sweating balls. Like, it is a thousand

0:34.4

degrees in New York. I don't know what it's like in San Diego now.

It's like warm, but it's definitely not the humidity of New York.

0:41.3

So it's different.

0:43.0

Do you get it?

And it's from Ted Lassow. And the thing about the sign is this is where I do most of my meetings. So like Zoom meetings, people either get it or they don't. And if they get it, it's this like instant connection. Like we vibe. I know I'm going to like land the deal if it's like a partnership. And if they don't get it, they think I'm like a live, laugh, love, girlie. Oh, and you're like, no, no, no. I'm just like so funny and like quirky like Ted Lasso. It's so high risk, high reward.
