Summary

Episode 250: Reunited and it feels so good! This week, Nat’s sitting down with Illana Dunn, who we last heard from back in 2021 after she had just been let go from her corporate girly job at Hinge. Fast forward to now, where, as the host of not one but two successful podcasts, "Seeing Other People" and "Life in Progress," she shares insights from her personal and professional life over the last few years. They dive into the challenges and triumphs of Illana’s career shift from Hinge to podcasting, finding "the one”, and how her listeners have adapted to her going from a single gal to an engaged woman. Plus, she gets into the hilarious chronicles of dating and podcasting about it, her red and green flags, and so much more. The episode is rich with hot tips, dating realness, and all the laughs.
