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 myself being vulnerable first. && that's exactly what this episode is about. This is a very personal & vulnerable story of the earliest memory I have of a time I didn't belong.

THE JUICY HIGHLIGHTS:
• The new name & vibe of my amazing membership (&& exclusive insight on when the doors are opening)
• What my ayahuasca experience taught me about healing
• The earliest & very momentous memory of a time I didn't belong
• How my vitiligo has made me feel both belonging & unbelonging
• The difference of belonging versus fitting in

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.
