Are you loving it? Send Ash a text! Hi friend. I wanted to drop in with a little surprise… something special outside our regular Tuesday episodes. This bonus meditation is one of the most-loved practices inside The Regulated Woman, my signature program designed to help you live, lead, and create from a regulated nervous system. This short guided practice will help you seal your energy leaks, call your power back, and ground yourself when you’re feeling scattered or drained. Because som...

Are you loving it? Send Ash a text! Hello hello, my love. Reporting live from my social free era with coffee in one hand and a board game under the other. On my 38th birthday, August 28, I broke up with social media for at least one year. Two months in and I do not miss it even a little. Not the scrolling, not the performative selfies, not even the dopamine glitter. This episode is the tea and the receipts. Why I left, how I did it without burning my business to the ground, and what has shif...

Are you loving it? Send Ash a text! If there’s one thing that’s quietly changed everything for me, my nervous system, my relationships, my business, it’s what I’m sharing in this episode. This part-three conversation wraps up our relaunch mini-series with the simplest, most unexpected reframe that turned my constant striving into something softer, steadier, and so much more peaceful. It’s a way of seeing yourself and your life that makes room for ease, curiosity, and joy again. The kind of s...

Are you loving it? Send Ash a text! Even after I slowed down, healed, lost 40 pounds, and felt like a brand-new human, the old patterns still tiptoed back in. Not the dramatic face-down-on-the-floor kind of burnout, just the sneaky version that makes you pause and say, “Oh, interesting… you again?” It was enough to make me curious. This part-two debrief is me pulling back the curtain on why urgency creeps in even after rest, how cortisol becomes our go-to fuel source, and the small, doable r...

Are you loving it? Send Ash a text! What was meant to be a little pause turned into almost a year and a half off the mic. August 2024 to October 2025. Time is fake, apparently. In this catch-up episode, I share where I’ve been, why I chose life (again and again) over momentum, and how I rebuilt my days around values that actually feel like mine, even when it meant letting go of things that once defined me. If you’ve ever felt torn between who you’re “supposed” to be and the life you actually...

Are you loving it? Send Ash a text! A real, unfiltered look behind the scenes of what it takes to build a life and business that actually feel good. Shamelessly Ambitious is where ambition meets regulation. Honest conversations, nervous system truths, and the messy, beautiful reality of being a woman who holds it all: the family, the business, the vision. Sometimes it’s deep, sometimes it’s messy, but it’s always real. Rooting for you, your way, always 🖤 LINKS: — Become the Regulated Woman...

Welcome to the final episode... at least for a little while. Tune in to hear the journey that led me to this choice, including the challenges of balancing work and life, and the realization that sometimes, even the things we love need to take a backseat. 🎙️🚗 Exciting — I’ve recently reclaimed full control over my content and emails which has felt really good. I've been opening up space and pulling back on some things to pour my energy into a mastermind I’ve been secretly crafting BTS. As I p...

I am doing things a littttttle bit differently this week, but I’m super excited about it! ➡️ I’m bringing you the BTS, original audio clip from the exclusive ATS Musings chat. I thought about rerecording it but as I listened back, I thought, “this is where the real magic is.” 🪄🌈 Here is my backstage pass to a recent conversation I had with a client, how I coached her through, and why it’s so important that we avoid making business harder than it needs to be. This audio is going to help you fe...

Coming to you for another Musings style episode from the comfort of my bed on day one of my bleed as I watch the Washington rain outside and dream about ordering some hot Pho. 🌧️🍜🩸🛌 This is the first time it's rained since we've been here and I'm obsessed. I can't stop opening the window to smell the fresh rain. As always, this episode is a catch up of where I've been, what's going well, and what I'm struggling with. Plussss, I dive into my criminal history and why exploring Canada was such a...

I'm taking my healing journey to a whole new level. This summer has been dedicated to healing childhood wounds, creating moments to comfort little Ashley, and reparent myself for the years I was forced into "leaping" when I wasn't ready due to my trauma. ❤️‍🩹🥹 THE JUICY HIGHLIGHTS: • Finally uncovering the piece of hurt from my childhood • What creating experiential healing practices looks like • Exploring some things that little me missed out on • Supporting my nervous system dysregulation...

I'm so excited to be coming to you from my serene backyard in the woods of Issaquah, Washington. Hear the tea BTS of Her Reinvention, what my daily thought pattern work is, and my challenges & adjustments of maintaining boundaries. &&& the freaking Above the Standard Collective is OPEN! I could cry. It feels like such a long time coming. 🥹 GTG, I think I just saw another bear. THE JUICY HIGHLIGHTS: • Barefoot in the backyard... keeping an eye out for bears 🐻 • Wrapping ...

If you tuned in to episode 141, I shared a very personal & vulnerable story about a time I didn’t belong. A huge reason why I felt compelled to share that was because of the sense of belonging that comes with my new membership, the Above The Standard Collective. Another urge you get inside the membership is to stop simply showing up for life & settling to instead start living intentionally and create magic in the day to day. If you were radically honest with yourself, how often are yo...

This week's musings is brought to you riverside. I wish you could see & smell how fresh it is here. We are currently in Livingston, MT which is just outside of Bozeman. I am walking through the city alongside the Yellowstone River. 🗻 We're actually leaving today so I don't feel like I can fully check Montana off the list as we only stayed for two days, but we're off again and heading to Spokane, WA. Ya girl is ecstatic. 🚙🚦🌄 I'm also giving away the real tea in today's episode. I promised...

Drum roll pleasseee 🥁 The updated membership is here and it is simply amazing. The Above The Standard Collective. ✨🥹🖤 Although I can't give away too much, I can tease that the membership was largely impacted by the idea of healing & belonging. Inside the membership are monthly healing intensives and within these intensives are prompts followed by my teachings of why that matters. The most recent prompt was about a time you didn't belong... Now, I never ask others to be vulnerable without...

I can’t lie, this first month of nomadic living has been a massive transition. The way we chose to do things in terms of work & children this time is much different than when we previously lived as nomads. My husband is keeping his full-time job which falls during regular work hours — this means my schedule is undergoing great change. We’re currently in our “trial period” of this new schedule and I’m finding what works & what doesn’t. My saving grace has been remembering to implement ...

Life is all about perspective && that’s exactly what we’re diving into today. If you would’ve asked me a few years ago if it would be possible to pack up our three children and hit the road to do what we are most passionate about — exploring, adventuring, and traveling — I would have said you were crazy because that would simply be impossible. Fast forward, my son asked me what I could do over and over again and not get tired of, I answered with traveling and exploring new...

Whew, I'm gonna have to get used to this. In today's episode we're walking together on Mission Beach in San Diego, California. 🌴 I'm sort of obsessed with this casual vibe. It feels like we're on a hot girl walk together. Today we get personal about how I'm embodying my "more than enough" era. Tune in to find out how my kids are actually helping me get really anchored into this mentality & how their perspective is beginning to shift, too. Realizing that we have a choice every single day...

A few months ago I did some "story extraction calls" with a close colleague where I laid my real, raw && oh so vulnerable life story all out on the table and had her help me decide what to do with it. Her name is Katie Quesada and she is an *incredible* story teller. So I knew when I made the decision to use my personal story to create a sense of belonging for others, I wanted her perspective of it. I've always been intrigued by "belonging." Our innate desire to belong, the pieces of...

Welcome to the first episode of Nomad Musings. Possibly low quality audio, but high quality connection. 😏 Ya'll know that 2023 was a hard year for me. I was dealing with some friendship breakups that fucking sucked. Why are friendship breakups the hardest?? I lost my passion for health which is SO unlike me. I lost my consistent workout routine & I was eating chips and ice cream like my life depended on it. 🥲 && I really hit my breaking point where I felt so numb & paralyzed ...

Gahh, I am so excited to be back. In this episode, I get real about falling victim to societal standards and letting them dictate my personal and business decisions rather than living above the standard. 2023 was a really beautiful yet hard year in some ways. I found myself on the edge of burnout and having multiple identity crises, but it all led me to now. Last year taught me the importance of prioritizing myself and my wellness in order for business to flow with ease, thus entering m...
