In this episode of In Her Era, I sit down with Asha Cooper social media strategist, psychology graduate, STEM educator, tech founder, model, and Miss Universe Australia top ten finalist. Asha is the definition of a woman rewriting the rules of what’s possible.

From growing up in rural Queensland to building a tech platform for creators and stepping confidently into spaces that weren’t designed with women like her in mind, Asha’s story is one of resilience, self-belief, and refusing to be put in a box.

We dive into what it really means to chase multiple passions, how she’s navigated imposter syndrome and setbacks, and why she believes confidence comes from embracing all of yourself — including the parts you once doubted.

This conversation is for every high-achieving woman who’s ever been told to “pick a lane,” struggled with self-belief, or wondered if it’s possible to build a bold, multifaceted life on your own terms.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why being multi-passionate is your greatest strength (not a flaw)
• The BTS of Miss Universe Australia and what it represents now
• The mindset shifts Asha leans on to overcome imposter syndrome
• Why representation matters and how she’s using her platform to drive change
• Practical tools for staying resilient when chasing big, ambitious goals
