Alone On My Birthday…

It’s my 45th birthday. And Quiet….. And for the first time, the silence feels heavy. In this unfiltered, late-night episode of 40 Something and Nothing, I open up about spending my birthday three thousand miles away from my husband and family and what it means to crave connection after years of craving solitude. This is a conversation about growth, distance, and the kind of loneliness that teaches you who you really are. Press play if you’ve ever looked around on your special day and thought, “How did I get here?” And where is everyone else? Turning 45 is a blessing and I’m glad that I am able to share it with all of you. Feel free to stop by all of my social handles and wish me a happy birthday. I would absolutely love that. * ⁠Instagram⁠ [http://www.instagram.com/elishamariaxi]  * ⁠TikTok⁠ [www.tiktok.com/@elishamariaxi] * ⁠Youtube⁠ [http://www.youtube.com/elishamariaxi] * Email/ Business Contact: ⁠elishamariaxi@gmail.com [elishamariaxi@gmail.com]

Bonus: Are You At Home With Yourself?

So I was listening to the Slay Girl Slay podcast with Ashley Leggs, and she asked a question that stopped me in my tracks: Are you at home with yourself? Whew. 😩 In this little bonus episode, I’m talking about how, for me, it’s a little bit of both, some days I’m fully at home, other days I’m out here pretending to be. Drive to work with me and let’s talk about finding our way back home.
