Open Book with Ash

Alright y'all - I''m back from a few days in Cabo and ready to dive into holiday season, so that's what we're talking about today!   Traditions, gatherings, school functions, all the things that leave us feeling a little out of control during November and December. But that's okay, I got you - I give you some practical tips to check in and make sure the way you are sp...

And on today's episode...I share something that makes me want to go run and hide. I don't know why, really, because TONS of people are in a relationship with a bot and talk to them on the regular...but maybe for me, it is because the relationship I had built with it, the way I opted to use it, took me further out of alignment and further from myself. It was slowly eating away at the idea...

TEN Episodes Guys! Woot!! And I'm so glad you're tuning into part 2 of this series because oddly enough it took me TWO tries to record this one...and honestly, I was so excited for the first recording then it was like the tech gods knew the second time around would be even better and it is....if I do say so myself. So welcome back for part 2 of one of my FAV things to talk about and teac...

Y'all...this is a topic that I LOVE.   (Probably because I am the queen of stories and I still find some that don't serve me! Like peeling back the layers of an onion over here, guys.)  But trying to not overload you and spend hours talking was not easy...so this is part 1 of a 2 part series on the stories we tell ourselves, specifically our self limiting beliefs and negative self talk (...

In today's episode I am talking about something that might shock you: you don't have to love your body. And you don't need a bunch of unicorn and rainbow thoughts about it either...you just need to get to neutral. (Trust me, by the end you will understand what I mean by get to "NEUTRAL!" LOL.) I'm helping you break down the difference between the facts about your body...

3 Simple Check Ins to Take Back Control of Your Schedule Ok, so most of us are back to school...and if your days already feel like a blur of chauffeuring kids, meetings, trying to figure out what's for dinner, reacting to whatever comes next, and wondering where your time went...this one's for you. On this episode I give you 3 simple tools I use with clients (and myself) to keep you from...

We just got back from our summer vacation, and 5 of those days were spent at Universal. And for our day at Epic Universe, I veered off course from the plan we had already made and was quickly reminded why sometimes research only creates confusion when you already know what’s right. What didn't seem like a big deal turned into an "epic" fail, followed by a very familiar mom guilt spi...

How many times have you said "I'll do it later / when the kids are older / when I have more time..." Or just given up completely because something got in the way? Same, girl. Same. AND I 100% could have used that excuse with this podcast when life threw me a curveball mid launch prep but I took a page out of my own book (aka, what I teach my clients) - find out what I mean on this i...

The things we keep doing - the little moments of self sabotage...why do we keep doing them once we catch onto them? I promise it's not you, it's just a story your brain has been practicing for so long it feels like fact and you haven't slowed down long enough to pause the pattern. Whether it is a story like "no one wants to hear what you have to say" that keeps you from sh...

Older kids, a quieter calendar, and somehow my brain that still hasn't gotten the memo... This one's for the moms who have dreamt about a free afternoon and then felt lost when it finally happened. You're not alone...I'm figuring it out too. In this episode I'm talking about the guilt, the tendency to default to hustle mode, and why slowing down physically and slowing down...

You have a trip coming up or maybe some special event and immediately, your brain is like "time to get yourself ready!!" (aka shrink...) Maybe you believe it and you find some fad diet, you restrict, you prep hard or maybe you don't, yet you still spend the whole time in your head once you're there.  What if shrinking yourself was never the point?  In this episode we are going...

I'm not the friend you want on speakerphone. No filter, full sarcasm, and zero interest in a polished intro (I tried recording one...felt awkward as hell, so we're skipping it). Welcome to Open Book with Ash. In this first episode, I'm sharing why I started this podcast (hint: it involves everyone on the internet suddenly having the same grandma), what "Open Book" actually...
