Description

Writer, mother, and reluctant socialite Asha Elias joins Cari to talk about reinvention, resilience, and the real story behind her rapid rise as a novelist. From launching Pink Glass Houses to celebrating the release of The Namaste Club, Asha opens up about writing, grief, raising two kids post-divorce, and how dating a younger man has taught her about love and softness in relationships.

Asha has contributed to Cosmopolitan magazine and is a regular columnist for Miami New Times. She lives in Miami Beach.

This conversation is honest, inspiring, hilarious, and packed with reminders that you can start over at any time — and do it loudly.

This episode explores:

Writing books faster than people have babies

  • Reclaiming your voice after family childhood dysfunction

  • Dating younger and being loved how you’ve always wanted

  • Grieving a complicated relationship with her late mother

  • Letting go of shame and the power of trying again

If you’re standing at the edge of reinvention, this one’s your permission slip to leap.

Books discussed: Pink Glass Houses & The Namaste Club
