In this episode of Destination Unknown, I sit down with Julia Mazer, host of the Pretty Much Done podcast and viral TikTok creator. We dive into the realities of being single in your 30s, touching on the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Julia opens up about her dating journey, personal growth, and the power of independence.

We explore how dating in your 30s is vastly different from your 20s, dealing with societal expectations, and finding joy in the solo life. We also compare notes on the apps like Tinder, JDate, and the ups and downs of online dating. This conversation is for anyone who’s navigating being single at any age and wants to feel seen, empowered, and heard. Expect to hear mentions of big names in the dating world, including Amy Nobile (dating coach) and insights into creators like Matthew Hussey and Modern Love coach Logan Ury.
