Welcome to our brand new series, Just Getting Good, where Chelsea sits down with women over 50 to talk about life, love, money, aging, and everything in between.
For our 5th episode, Chelsea sat down with the incredible Aisha. Aisha spoke candidly about her sexual awakening after divorce at 50, healing from her childhood, the importance of body positivity and consent culture, and so much more.

| 0:00.0 | Trying to fit into some ideal. |
| 0:03.1 | And I know the boomer women know that, but they don't want to tell themselves that truth because that grief is intense. |
| 0:09.0 | That you did all you can to conform and to fit in and it doesn't matter. |
| 0:14.9 | So be kind. |
| 0:16.2 | Live yourself for yourself in kindness and for the people you love. |
| 0:20.6 | Because when you liberate yourself, |
| 0:22.7 | you want that for others. You truly do. Hello, everyone. And welcome back to another episode |
| 0:28.2 | of Just Getting Good. Today, I am actually sitting down with a very serendipitous and unexpected |

So I texted her. I said, are you ever out here in New York? And she says, I come pretty frequently. My family's in New Jersey. I can always make a trip to the city. And I said, |
| 1:27.8 | come out and let's interview you for Just Getting Good, because your story is something that I think |

| 1:38.8 | her polychule, which I'm always very locked into. I think it's also really important for women to hear and talk about |
| 1:46.0 | because like I think many women, she was reaching 50 and in a marriage that was not right or |
