What People Are Saying
We all need a reminder that…
“making it in life is not the most important thing. Living your life is”. At least I know that’s exactly what I needed to hear this morning.
This podcast gives such a refreshing take on working through the little things life throws at you, your emotions, and just working towards being the best you possible. It also doesn’t hurt that Ashley is so funny.
I am so excited to add this podcast to my weekly rotation! I feel motivated, and I feel seen!
Can’t recommend it enough!”— S. Bancroft

Refreshing! Just what I needed!
“This podcast has been a joy to discover. It's so refreshing to hear someone talk so candidly about fear--as an artist, I'm always confronted by my fear of failure, my fear of rejection, my fear of...well, a lot. To hear Ashley is to hear a supportive friend talk to you and make you realize you're not alone.I've really enjoyed the guests she has on so far, too. Each one brings a unique perspective to the world of fear and how they face it. After the way 2020 has gone, I've needed something like this. So grateful to Ashley for the work she's doing! Can't wait for more.”
