"I'm 42, single, living in NYC, and my biological clock is ticking..." (Audience caller)

This week’s episode is an intimate journey through the heart of New York City with an audience caller who happens to be a friend of mine in real life. In this vulnerable conversation, Elia opens up about her pursuit of love at 42 years old. What I find so amazing about today's episode is the fact that this type of conversation is SO rare to listen in on let alone have. We all know someone who's still single even when most of their friends have found love and settled down, and these are the topics that we don't often feel comfortable broaching with them. Elia was such an open book and I can't thank her enough for coming onto the podcast and spilling her heart out. Listen in as she shares her past dating escapades, the evolution of her readiness for a relationship, and the distinct challenges of singlehood in the bustling metropolis that is NYC. Elia's candid storytelling, laced with humor and vulnerability, paints a relatable picture of the quest for companionship and the realities of modern relationships. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever navigated the delicate balance of personal and professional life, or for those who find comfort in shared experiences of love and longing.
