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 my selfish era at the beginning of 2024...
THE JUICY HIGHLIGHTS:
• The beginning of the road of burnout in 2022
• Questioning societal standards & dimmed creativity in 2023

• Raising the standards for everything in my life
• The epic comeback sale (details below) ⬇️

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.
