Summary
In this solo Q&A, I’m answering your dating and life questions — from moving cities for love to figuring out if you’re settling in your career. We get into what to do when your best friend disappears into a new relationship, how to tell if someone actually likes you, and the truth about not having it all figured out at 29. I also share my thoughts on wedding planning stress, dating apps, and why being single isn’t something to “fix.” It’s a mix of honesty, comfort, and real talk about what growing up in your 20s and 30s actually feels like.

| 0:00.0 | Okay, I bit my lip the other day and you know when you bite your lip or your cheek and you can't |
| 0:10.7 | help but continue to bite it over and over because you're thinking about it, you're focused on it |
| 0:16.8 | and like it's swollen too. Yeah. So my whole lip, I probably look like I got punched because my whole |
| 0:23.9 | lip is so swollen because I bit down on it so, so hard two days ago. And then yesterday smacked right back |
| 0:34.5 | into it. Like there's a cut. There was blood. Sorry, this is getting gross. |
| 0:39.6 | But anyways, it's like all I can think about. You know, when you're like sick or you're in pain |
| 0:43.9 | or there's something wrong with you, like, I think the best example is like when you have a cold |
| 0:48.5 | and your nose is so stuffy and you just, you can't breathe and you want to be able to breathe |
| 0:52.9 | and you're like thinking to yourself, oh, like if I ever can breathe again I will never take it for granted |
| 0:59.2 | I will be grateful every single day that I can breathe through my nose and then the second |
| 1:04.6 | you're able to breathe through your nose again you forget how bad it was and you forget |
| 1:07.9 | that you weren't able to that's what I feel like right now like it all I can think about. All I want is for my lip to feel normal. Anyways, now that we've gotten that out of the way, hey guys, it's Lana. Welcome back for another episode of seeing other people. If you are a longtime listener, thank you so much for coming back. If you're new here, and this is your first episode of seeing other people, I'm so sorry that that is the foot we got started off on. I would say that we got started off on the wrong foot, on the wrong lip. But I'm so excited to have you here. Today we have a solo episode. We have a good old solo Q&A, which I love to do every time you guys are sending in really good questions. |
| 1:44.5 | And I have a little bank of questions that I can pull from that I can answer for you. |
| 1:49.4 | And I really like to use questions that I think a lot of people can relate to and questions |
| 1:56.9 | that I think can help people at every stage of relationships. Like even if this doesn't |
| 2:03.5 | entirely relate to you, I think there's still something to get out of it. So we have a whole |
| 2:10.1 | array of questions from being single to certain things with best friends, to engagement and wedding planning and job |
| 2:22.1 | questions. We got a whole bunch of great questions. I'm really excited to get into it. |
| 2:33.5 | Before we do, I have no idea what I was about to say. Wow. We're really off to a great start |
| 2:39.9 | today. Okay. I am sitting here in my new studio and I feel so like every time I walk in here, |
| 2:46.8 | I'm just like, I can't believe I have this now. I'm like, I can't believe I built this. |
