Sharmi & Jason
SHARMI (Age 39)
JASON (Age 32)
MIAMI, FLORIDA
MARRIED / TOGETHER 7 YEARS
OCCUPATION: MED SPA FRANCHISE OWNERS
PLASTIC DOESN’T BREAK
This over-the-top couple hailing from sunny Miami couldn’t be more picture perfect; just like Ken and Barbie. Their faces are flawless, bodies chiseled, skin always glowing….and they are crazy in love. They even eerily look like one another due to all the procedures that they get together. Just like the plastic aesthetic of Ken and Barbie this couple defies age by getting beauty enhancing treatments together. It doesn’t hurt that they co-own and co-manage several med-spas, and are continuing to build a spa empire.
When Sharmi and Jason first met they were extremely different from one another. They were from two different backgrounds, they had different lifestyles, different hobbies and different personalities. Prior to meeting each other Sharmi came from business development and franchising. She was a wild-girl who would spend her time partying, drinking and going out with her girlfriends. Sharmi was a party girl at night, the first to suggest shots and the first on the dance floor. Sharmi tragically lost her younger sister in a car accident so she poured her heart and soul into her job to help distract from the pain. In the office she was cut-throat and aggressive, known as an intimidating doer. She could charm anyone and used her charisma to get her way. Jason, on the other hand came from an outdoorsy, camping, fishing, hunting and hiking family. Jason was a book smart and studious young man who studied engineering in college. He was a person of numbers, routine and predictability. A stark contrast to Sharmi. Out of college, Jason worked as a general contractor and worked his way up to supervisor at a major commercial construction company.
Sharmi started in the world of franchising with her older sister. The two co-owned several physical therapy studios and were able to help to grow and expand that business. She was a career woman on top of her game, but her personal, love-life was lacking. During this time, she wasn’t looking for anything serious as she feared that it would compete with her career. She swiped on Jason’s profile on Tinder and the couple went on several dates. Their first date was actually a bust. Jason invited Sharmi to go spearfishing on his boat. He sent her a photo of him and his buddy and there was a girl in the background of the photo. Sharmi took that as a red flag and lied about having a flat tire and bailed on their date. However, they kept talking and she decided to give him a chance. Their next date was at the Cheesecake factory and she was pleasantly surprised by his understanding and intelligence and his good looks.
They immediately connected on their shared passion for business and by the 4th date they became inseparable. According to the couple, from date number four on, they’ve never slept a night apart. Sharmi used to travel for work but the couple quickly transitioned their lives to be together all the time. Today they are happily married and can’t picture their lives without each other. Prior to Jason, Sharmi was in a long-term toxic relationship with a man who cheated on her. It was ultimately Sharmi who left that relationship. Sharmi is confident and secure that Jason would never cheat on her and only has eyes for his wife.
Over the course of their relationship, however, they seem to have morphed into one another by taking on each other’s interests, traits and even careers….and now these two can’t be separated. Sharmi is a fast-paced, fast-talking emotional, sporadic, and loud, Latina woman. She’s always been a boujee party girl who loves to look good and get glammed up, where Jason comes from a completely different background. His rural, middle class childhood was spent with his dad on the lake, fishing, boating, crab trapping, getting dirty and enjoying the water.
He comes from a quiet, traditional family, but has since married into a large, loud, close-knit Latina family that has completely upended his world. Now Sharmi has taken on his interests, getting her hands (and hair!) dirty, and he’s taken on her interests, such as gossiping over mimosas at a girl’s brunch. Jason took Sharmi camping but she HATED the experience and vows to never do that again.
Sharmi and Jason do everything together. From living together, to running a business together, working out together to raising children together. They are ALWAYS together and always touching! Sharmi and Jason are so in love that they want to have the best sex possible. Because they own a med-spa they are always being introduced to new and interesting treatments and services. They discovered a treatment that would take their sex-life to new heights. Jason and Sharmi have undergone painful injections specifically intended to make them orgasm longer, harder, and more frequently. For men it’s the P-shot, and for women it’s the O-shot. There are a number of benefits associated with the shot, boosting sensation and erectile function during sex. A win-win! Only downside? It is injected directly into the male and female genitalia! Ouch! But Sharmi and Jason said it works and it’s worth it!
In addition to the O-shots this couple gets peptides that help with weight loss and fat loss. They get cool-sculpting. They get filler, Botox, or “bro-tox” as Jason calls it. They get cryotherapy, facials and IV drips. No one ever thought that Jason would be the type of guy to get Botox! Crazy what love can do to someone…. The list goes on and on. If it makes them prettier, more alike and brings them closer as a couple they’ll try and do anything! The “anti-aging” liquid IV that they do together can take between 3-5 hours. They are not ones to sit idly by, so they take their IV’s with them into meetings, into cars and yes even on romantic dates!
Oh, and this couple has even taken to matching and coordinating their outfits together. Although it’s all coming from Sharmi, Jason admits that he doesn’t mind the matching. He loves to match his wife and kids.
The couple is always together at work. They are never apart and can’t be separated or manipulated by employees. It’s also a family affair at the office, they work with Sharmi’s cousin, brother and longtime best friend. It feels like a big family at work, with Sharmi and Jason are known as “mom and dad.” Sharmi and Jason are both loved and slightly feared by their employees as they run a tight ship. Because Sharmi has such a strong background in sales and business development she is an aggressive “trainer” at work and isn’t shy about giving constructive criticism. She has no tolerance for laziness in her businesses. In fact, she has security cameras that monitor her employees, so if she sees the girls behind the desk doom scrolling she’ll call the office and chew them out.
Joshua, Jason’s longtime best friend who’s currently in Idaho to become a helicopter pilot admits that sometimes it’s hard to recognize his best friend because of his spa procedures and his new-found love of traditionally feminine activities and going out to nightclubs. It’s hard for Joshua to get alone time with Jason when they’re together, but if Jason is happy – maybe that’s okay? Sharmi is not the same person either. Sure, she still has a wild streak and loves a tequila shot on the dance floor, but she’s also happy to spend time alone with her husband and kids, showcasing a nurturing and “homebody” side that would surprise her friends and family. Sharmi’s BFF “Leni” who was around prior to Jason and is a single girl, misses the times that she could call up her friend and go out and go dancing all night. Just a girl’s night spent flirting, dancing and drinking. Not anymore, whether Leni likes it or not, Jason is usually coming along.
The two are parents to Jacob (5) and Kate (4) but when they can’t be mom and dad they lean on Sharmi’s mom to help take care of the kids. Jason is the only dad in the PTA at school because he doesn’t leave Sharmi’s side, and the two even plan and sponsor huge events for the whole school and community. Nothing is small or subtle with these two: every birthday, every holiday, is a big gift-giving and over-the-top production for them. Sharmi and Jason never wear the same thing twice, and always have to be presenting in head-to-toe, matching coordination.
Sharmi and Jason are constantly approached with franchise and new business opportunities. It’s always been Sharmi’s dream to manifest an empire of multiple businesses. Her friends and family never thought that she would be able to achieve what she’s done so far, and she has no intention of slowing down. Jason, however, isn’t as interested in expanding and growing.
He is happy and content in what they have. He would rather have more time for himself, for the kids and for his marriage, than spend time working. He’s not going to say no to a good deal but his heart isn’t in it in the same way that Sharmi’s is. If it wasn’t for him, she would be working all the time. The couple has recently closed on a new med-spa location which will inevitably take up more of their time over the next year, building out, renovating and staffing a new business. If Sharmi had her way, she would open two spas within the year and another two the following year.
Jason would rather spend time with Sharmi and his children. It’s a topic that the couple bumps heads on often. She wants to increase the work, and he wants to slow down. Another point of contention is that Sharmi is ALWAYS working. She’s always on her phone, and not paying attention to Jason and then the kids. Sharmi admits that being a mother doesn’t come naturally to her and has extreme “mom guilt” around the issue. She has a hard time pretending to be interested in their toys and games, and when it comes to their homework she has a hard time helping and tutoring them. Therefore, Jason is stepping in and doing more of the parenting. When Jason is helping the kids with homework or playing with them, inevitably Sharmi is working or on the phone. Sharmi has been known to be on marathon phone calls for up to three hours! Sometimes she brings the phone to bed. Jason gets frustrated because she is seemingly prioritizing work over their relationship and over their children.
Sharmi and Jason want to purchase a second/vacation home, either in the Florida Keys or in Colorado where they visit every year to ski and snowboard. Jason and Sharmi are planning to look at houses this year, but are unsure if they are on the same page as to their wants and needs. Naturally he wants something outdoorsy and rural that lets him be rugged and one with nature, she wants something fancy, close to shopping and nice restaurants. And of course, Sharmi’s budget idea is much higher than what Jason has in mind. Additionally, Jason is very close with his mother Darlene who loves to give her opinions on everything. She was formerly a real estate agent, so Sharmi knows that her mother-in-law is inevitably going to get involved in their home buying business. Sharmi and Darlene do not see eye to eye and Sharmi isn’t thrilled to have her involved in choosing their new home.
Sharmi and Darlene have to cross paths several times a year, but one of the occasions that Sharmi likes the least is Darlene’s birthday which falls in the Spring. Every year Darlene and Jason’s family rents a rustic cabin in the woods and spends a week hiking, tubing, fishing and spending time outdoors. Jason loves it and is in his element. Sharmi is completely out of her element both in nature and around Jason’s more conservative and proper family. She doesn’t like the close one-on-one time with Darlene and Sharmi especially doesn’t like all the ruggedness of the country cabin. Sharmi is a fish out of water, she’s loud, fancy, likes nice things and she is the only person there who likes a drink or two. If she’s spending two hours in a tube in a river, she wants at least a white claw! Jason’s family doesn’t drink…
Sharmi and Jason are navigating being parents to young children, balancing the demands of a growing business empire and re-evaluating their priorities between work and family. As close as they are, they still have issues that they need to work through, and watching them do so will be as comedic as it will be dramatic.
