Episode #01 // Season:2026
In this episode, Luba, Founder and CEO of Bryght, sits down with Ashley, a woman who has held many roles in her life. Former employee, chosen family, and now one of her closest friends.
They met over 15 years ago, when neither woman could have predicted where life would take them. Fast forward to now and they are standing in two very different chapters. Both single. Both thriving. One raising a child. The other intentionally child free. Each living a life that looks nothing like the one they imagined back then.
And yet the parallels are impossible to ignore.
This conversation is raw, funny, reflective, and unapologetically honest. They talk about how friendship evolves when roles shift, from coworkers to confidantes to women who had to redefine boundaries. What it means to outgrow old versions of yourself and sometimes each other. Dating in today’s world, the confusion, the chemistry, and the contradictions.
They dig into what actually defines a one night stand. Is it about time, intention, or emotional access. Due dates, deadlines, and the invisible timelines women are told to live by. Older men versus younger men and why neither category guarantees emotional maturity.
Luba brings her CEO energy, lived experience, and zero tolerance for bullshit. Ashley brings motherhood, clarity, and the grounded perspective of a woman who knows exactly what she will and will not accept.
Different lives. Different choices. Same self trust. Same growth. Same refusal to settle.
This is not girl talk.
It is a womanhood conversation about desire, independence, friendship, and choosing yourself at every stage.
Pull up a chair. This one hits. 🖤🎙️🔥
