We can’t be the only ones wondering if we’re destined to die alone, right? RIGHT?! Whether it’s because modern dating feels like a never-ending episode of Love Island, society keeps insisting life ends at 30 (especially for women), or we’re still being fed the lie that a child is the ultimate marker of fulfillment—something’s gotta give.

This week, Asking For A Friend host Elena is joined by Irene to tackle the ultimate self-doubt spiral: What if I never find a partner? They’re diving into why we need to stop glorifying weddings (yes, including those overpriced bachelorette parties), questioning outdated narratives, and wondering if solo life might just be the ultimate power move. Spoiler alert: your worth isn’t up for debate—ever.

Oh to be in your 20s - solely surviving on wine, matcha lattes and late night girl dinners. Not to mention the sugar cravings. And then you hit your thirties and suddenly everyone runs marathons and is bio hacking away. 

Asking For A Friend host Elena is joined by Health and Nutrition Coach Holly Rudge to finally address the culinary elephant in the room: Why do we stress eat and how the hell do we stop??

What does perfectionism have to do with our rollercoaster of our daily diet? Speaking of diet, can we agree that going on diets is on the OUT list in 2025? Should we still drink oat milk or is that a no go already? In short, if you’ve been dreading dealing with your nutrition because you have no clue where to start, consider this your „Start Here“ sign.

Toxic relationships—been there, done that. But what actually makes a relationship toxic? Is it the obvious stuff, like being cut off from your friends and family? Or the sneaky, low-key toxic behaviors we don’t notice until we’re spiraling in a group chat at 2 a.m.?

This week, Asking For a Friend host, Elena and Irene are coming for the toxic traits we’ve all experienced (and maybe ignored). From Elena realizing Anti-Hero is literally her life’s theme song to Irene surviving a wild ride of love-bombing followed by total radio silence, we’re unpacking the messiest truths about love, boundaries, and why communication feels like pulling teeth sometimes.

If you’re navigating a situationship that’s low-key toxic, reflecting on your own red flags, or just here for the juicy stories, this episode is basically your new best friend in podcast form. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and we’ll have you saying, “Wow, same.”

Asking For A Friend is officially in its lover era! This week, Elena is back with Irene, and they’re diving into one of the most relatable dating scenarios: unrequited love.

Are you crying yet? Laughing? Whatever you’re feeling, we’re here for it. Let it all out, babe!

Let’s be real—haven’t we all been there? Sometimes, it stings way more when you’re crushing hard on someone (especially when you’ve got that friends-with-benefits vibe) and suddenly realize those feelings aren’t returned. It can hurt even more than an actual breakup! Or is that just us?

From fantasizing about adorable meet-cutes on the tube to facing the reality of unreciprocated feelings and figuring out how to detach from that dreamy prospect of dating, let’s wallow in our collective sadness and lift each other up while we’re at it.

So grab your favorite snack, settle in, and let’s make sense of this wild ride together!

If Elena had not decided to start over multiple times in her life, you quite frankly possibly wouldn’t be listening to this podcast right now. Things fall into place once we decide to take these little tugs at our soul seriously. The ones that tell us that the job we’re in gives us security, but we dread going every single day. The ones of trading in the Head Of position for a Junior one, because graphic design makes you light up and sales doesn’t. Or ending a relationship, because something inside tells you that this isn’t what you want anymore.

What do we do when we’re faced with our ego? The fear we might feel of what others will think? Will they think I am crazy? Unreasonable? But what if this longing never really goes away?

Here’s to starting over, because what if it works out?

It’s time to bring a man on the pod! This week, Asking For A Friend host Elena is joined by her friend George, a certified bonafide man. But what does that even mean? We’re diving into it!

From grooms rocking makeup on their wedding day to creating spaces where women feel totally comfortable, this episode covers it all. We’re talking about why it’s crucial to tell men they’re beautiful more often and what it really means to be a "soft man"—you know, the kind of guy who makes you feel safe.

This conversation is long overdue, especially when women are still expected to carry the emotional weight while the idea persists that “men just aren’t as emotionally intelligent.” Spoiler alert: that’s total BS, if you ask Elena and George!

So get ready for a raw, vulnerable chat where nothing is off-limits. You’ll feel like you’re wrapped in a cozy blanket while we tackle some deep truths. Let’s break down those walls!

Babes, listen up: you’re not where you are by dumb luck. On this episode of Asking For A Friend, Elena sits down for a real talk about embracing failure and shutting down that inner imposter voice once and for all.

Imposter Syndrome? Yeah, it’s a whole mood—just not the vibe we’re going for. Downplaying your wins? Not it. Feeling like you’re moments away from being exposed as a fraud? Absolutely exhausting.

So, how do we flip the script? How do you turn that spicy, overthinking brain into your biggest hype partner instead of your worst critic? We’re going there.

It’s time to stop playing the background role in your own story and step up as the main character.

Alright, let’s get real—it’s time to talk MONEY. This week on Asking For A Friend, Elena’s bringing in Mindset & Wellness Coach Victoria Kelly to dive into the topic that makes us all feel a little squirmy. Am I right?!

Both Elena and Vicky know the hustle life as entrepreneurs, so dealing with finances is part of their world. But even if you’ve got that 9-to-5 paycheck, why are we all so weird about money? Why does talking about it make us break out in a nervous sweat? And did they figure out how to stop freaking out about it, or are they still in the trenches?

From a shocker $15k expense Down Under to realizing money is just energy (stay with us) and figuring out how to work with it—this episode is here to help you rethink how you approach money and maybe even boss up a little.

If you’re ready to stop panicking every time you check your bank account and start making your money work for you, this is the one to tune into. Less awkwardness and more empowerment!

Hey, Overthinkers! Yeah, I’m talking to you. Drop the phone, grab that pen, and lean in—because this is for you.

Ever sent an email and immediately spiraled because, ugh, why didn’t I word it better? Or caught yourself analyzing a friend’s text because the punctuation felt off and suddenly your brain’s sounding the alarm like you’re under attack? Yeah, we’ve all been there.

It’s exhausting, isn’t it? Needing control, craving it like your life depends on it. And when it slips away? Oh, your mind’s on fire trying to get it back. The plot twist? Chasing control just makes you feel even less in control.

This episode, Elena’s spilling the tea on how to stop the overthinking spiral and reclaim your peace. Because it’s time to give your mind a break and actually get some sleep for once.

Ready to break up with your inner over thinker? I've got you, baby, slide into my DMs

Your favorite chaotic duo from Asking for a Friend, Elena and her partner-in-giggles Irene, are back!

But this week? Oh, it's different. It's not all about LOLs—it's about feels (and maybe some rage, too). Because if there’s one question that makes Elena's blood boil, it's this: “Don’t you want to settle down sometime?”

First of all, who invited you to comment on someone else’s life choices? Second, why is it that the moment you hit the big 3-0, society expects you to swap freedom for frothy lattes in suburban kitchens? Suddenly, living your best life—unapologetically, uniquely, loudly—is frowned upon, while "trad wife mode" becomes the blueprint.

Listen up, because we’re going there: why is it anyone's business how someone chooses to live?

Why should anyone feel pressured to justify their life, whether it's solo trips to Portugal or living in matrimonial bliss?

Expect some truths, some tears, and a whole lot of “I feel so seen” moments. It’s about to get spicy—and maybe a little bit cathartic.
