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 by life that I needed to turn it all off in order to make ANY decisions moving forward... For which I am so grateful because I was able to dive head first into my health. Today I am officially down 30 pounds and I am damn proud of myself for the work I've put in. I finally feel my spark coming back. For life, business, relationships, travel, && health. Ugh, I am so proud of where I am at today and the quality of life I'm producing.
THE JUICY HIGHLIGHTS:
• Struggling with perfectionism
• Emotionally eating.. My crutch of chips & ice cream 🍦

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.
