What does it mean to be a "late bloomer" who still builds an extraordinary life on her own timeline? Adia Zuri May—entertainment attorney, Howard University alum, and the woman who took a wild leap from Chicago to LA without ever having been there—opens up about redefining success, hiring a dating coach, and finally claiming the love she always wanted.
Her journey from corporate ladder-climbing to harvest season wisdom led her to understand that "comparison is the thief of joy" and that sometimes you have to unblock your emotional pipes before love can flow. "The jig is up," she tells host Maura about the moment she decided to invest in her personal life with the same intentionality she brought to her career, embodying the courage it takes to bet on yourself at any age.
But this conversation goes beyond professional achievements. Adia breaks down why she reconnected with a man she met at LAX airport 13 years ago, how working with dating coach "Spicy Mari" taught her to clear emotional baggage, and why believing truly is seeing when it comes to manifesting your deepest desires. From creating a pipeline for Howard University students to Hollywood careers to learning that failure is "the juice that makes you say I'm not staying here," her insights hit different when you realize she's living proof that your timeline doesn't have to look like everyone else's. Whether you feel behind in love, career, or life in general, Adia's story reminds you that sometimes the best things happen when you finally decide to bet on yourself.
