Your Next Relationship Might Be Around the Corner

About this episode

Ilana Dunn interviews Kerry Russo about stepping out of comfort zones in dating and life.

In this episode, we sit down with Kerry Russo, the creator behind UES Things, to talk about what it actually means to put yourself out there — and why staying in your comfort zone might be the biggest thing holding you back in dating and life. From meeting people in real life to going to events alone, starting conversations, and doing things that feel uncomfortable at first, this conversation is all about taking action instead of waiting for things to happen. We also get into giving people a real chance, letting go of rigid “types,” and building a life that naturally creates more opportunities to connect.
