About this episode

Today's episode is for the woman who has been feeling unfulfilled chasing what the world has been telling her to chase & follow. The job. The promotion. The big house. The income goal.


Ash is a phenomenal woman & is a beautiful example of what it means to be willing to question all of the societal "shoulds", throw them all in the fire & create a genuine, authentic, intentional life & business.


In today's episode, you'll hear about:

  • what Ash would tell her 20 something self
  • how to question & figure out what happiness ACTUALLY means to you
  • why redefining success for yourself is so important
  • a few of her favorite inner child healing practices


I hope you enjoy tuning in!
