Welcome back for Part Two! If you tuned in last time, you already know that the writer, mother, and “reluctant” socialite, Asha Elias, has a knack for keeping it real while keeping us entertained. As a contributing writer for Cosmopolitan Magazine and a regular columnist for the Miami New Times, Asha brings sharp insights, wit, and an unfiltered perspective to every conversation.

Last week, we got into age gaps in relationships, the delicate balance of being a public figure with a private life, and what it really takes to go after what you want. But we were just getting started.

In this episode were diving even deeper–into love, societal norms of dating (or lack thereof), social anxiety, and more. From marrying well and divorcing well to embracing the freedom of rewriting your own timeline, this conversation is all about shaking off the expectations and doing life your way. Tune in!

BTW. Are you looking for deeper connection? You know what I say. “Come sit with us.” But for real. Join my EXCLUSIVE online women’s community for Becoming: HER today.

Xoxo,

Nikki Spo

Quotes

“I didn’t realize that that silly 25 year old was power, I thought it was weakness and so I tried really hard to change it.” - Asha Elias

“Women making you feel invisible because you're younger, is really their own feelings of invisibility. Because you know what society does to older women: we make them invisible.” - Nikki Spo

“Now I’m living authentically, the way that I want to.” - Asha Elias
