There's been a lot of weird and emotional stuff coming up for me lately. Some stuff I had done a lot of therapeutic work on and thought I'd healed from & other stuff that has happened more recently. If you're on my email list you have an idea from the story I shared about my bio-dad. These situations have caused me to reflect on a lot so this episode is going to get really personal. I hope you can gain some nuggets of wisdom, validation, or normalcy from my vulnerability. ❤️

THE JUICY HIGHLIGHTS:
🖤 Vulnerability creates connection
🖤 Unrelenting in my pursuit of happiness
🖤 Navigating the hurt from relationships ending due to my unwillingness to settle

[3:55] The emotional stuff that's been coming up for me lately
[4:53] Backstory on my childhood & the pessimism I witnessed
[6:00] Making a conscious & subconscious decision to live a life free of struggle
[7:00] The tea on my education journey & the mentor that I adored
[10:05] The pessimism I witnessed has shaped me to be a fighter
[10:30] Impulsively changing everything the second I'm unhappy
[11:28] Deep-seated fear of getting too comfortable
[12:00] My life decisions have made others uncomfortable...
[12:35] Why can't I just be "regular" and be content in the mundane? 😫
[14:02] These decisions have cost me & it hurts
[14:39] I'm not the best friend, but I'm really f*cking loyal
[15:38] You'll never meet someone who cares more about what people think than I do & I hate it
[17:12] Doing whatever it takes to never settle
[17:47] I am NOT loving Texas 😳🫣
[19:54] My greatest challenge in entrepreneurship has been dealing with people judging me
GET SUUUPER VULNERABLE WITH ME

MORE ABOUT ASH
I am the definition of duality — I swear like a sailor and break rules like it’s my job, but I also hold incredible space for my clients and work my ass off to help them achieve the success they’re after. But I'm also here for the non-preneur woman, too. My background in counseling gives me a unique perspective on what it means to show up, serve, & create connection for those who feel like they've never belonged before.
