Slay Girl Slay

It’s looking like a season finale boo! Listen, there is something that only you can do in this lifetime that has the power to change your life, and the lives of those around you. All of us were born with a gift, and whether we use it or not is up to us. But the purpose you are seeking sis, the accomplishments you’re striving for, the love and validation you want, the security you may be looking fo...

All of us, are waiting for something to happen in our lives. Waiting for life changing news, a significant other, a booming business, literally the list goes on. But instead of being anxious and worrying about what’s going to happen in the future and trying to chase down answers you don’t have yet, focus on all the things that make your life beautiful right now. Do not get weary, while in your wai...

Most of the time we get excited about growing into the person we’ve dreamed of, and accomplishing our wildest dreams, but we don’t really sit down and think about how much we’re going to have to do (or go through) to get there. For every goal you are focused on, there is a blindspot that you can not see boo. When it comes to our dreams and goals, we tend to believe in only the things that get us e...

Life has a way of grabbing us by the edges, and hitting us when we least expect it. No matter how great you may be feeling, life can just punch you out of nowhere. But at some point, when you’ve had enough, you have to learn how to look life square in the eye and fight back. Life will always be life, but most importantly you will always be you. So if you’re feeling down, if you’re feeling sad, if...

It can be scary standing up for yourself, and speaking up for what you want. You don’t want to upset anyone and you don’t want them to look at you in a negative way. But at some point sis, you can’t keep setting yourself on fire to keep others warm. You can’t keep bending, and letting others bulldoze over you. When you speak up for yourself, you may lose some people. You may lose some opportunitie...

Some days you feel super confident and beautiful, and just feeling yourself, and literally the next day you can feel raggedy. Some days you can feel like you are in perfect alignment, and you love your life, and you love where it’s going, and the next day can feel completely opposite. Both days you are still the same perfect you. Don’t let negative thoughts, self hate, and comparison keep you from...

When we feel like we’re not progressing, and not doing as good as we think we should be doing – we find ourselves wishing we “had it all together”. But wishing we had it all together, or believing in this false sense of perfection is doing more harm than good sis. There is no destination we arrive to in life where everything makes perfect sense. There is no time where everything in our lives will...

You have to have discernment in who gets to experience the best parts of you. You have to have discernment in who gets to know everything about you. Making moves in silence isn’t just for your haters, and the people that want to see you fail. Sometimes, you have to protect your dreams, visions, and goals from the people that want to see you win. Crazy right? Your wildest dreams, the life you have...

How you feel everyday, has the power to dictate your every move in life sis. But just because you feel a certain way, that doesn’t mean that feeling is coming from a true place. For example: Just because you feel unproductive today, that does not make you a lazy person. Just because you feel bad today, that does not mean you have a bad life. You see where this is going? We can end up so deep in ou...

You never know the impact you can make on someone’s life sis. You don’t have to have your life “together” to change the life of someone else. If you have it on your heart to be kind to someone and be a blessing to them, do it. Believe it or not, being kind to others, can teach you the most valuable lesson, in being kind to yourself.

Raise your hand if you had every intention of coming back outside looking like a snack, but instead you’re still eating them? *raises both hands* Outside is open again, and let’s be honest…we fell off in some areas of our life. Whether it be our fitness goals, putting in effort into our appearance (because let’s face it, we really didn’t have to for the last 12 months), going out and being social...

Believe that you are built for the life you prayed for sis. Whatever dream lies ahead of you, there is no issue, situation, or obstacle that can stop you from getting there. You are equipped to handle anything that is thrown your way. Just pause, take a breath, find your solution, and handle it.  Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Sis, we are no longer giving people the watered down versions of ourselves. You know, the small, quiet versions of us that shrink to make others feel comfortable around us. The version of you that can’t be her full, powerful, blossoming self. The watered down version of you. When you elevate to new levels, the confidence must elevate too. Regardless of how other people may think, or feel about tha...

Some days you feel great, and you’re high on life, and feeling unstoppable. Then, there are days where you don’t feel so great. You feel really low, and you feel like you’re going to break. But guess what sis, that is 100% okay. Sometimes you have to just exist in the “not so good days”, and hang on until the good day comes. Trouble doesn’t last always, joy always comes in the morning. You just ha...

You can’t have a different life, and do the same things you’ve always been doing. To see changes in your life, you have to start doing something different. You are either constantly living in a state of change, or your life is repeating itself. The decision is yours sis. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Let’s be honest sis…how many times have you looked up to another woman and wanted to be like her? Instead of looking at her as inspiration, she only served as a constant reminder of all the things you didn’t have. Here’s an even better question, how proud are you of yourself? It’s so easy to get caught up into a curated life of another person, yet so hard to keep investing into our own lives and l...

We’re back with Season 4 of the Slay Girl Slay Podcast! Oh, how we have missed you Boo. We are hitting the ground running in our first episode of the season, and not holding back from the minute this episode starts. Ashley is back after her hiatus, and picking up where she left off from last season’s finale. Buckle up sis, we’ve been waiting for this one. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video...

So many changes happening in our world! Thank you for such a great season, and cheers to this finale episode. Sometimes you have to give up something great, to gain something even better. Big dreams come with big sacrifices, and either you’re going to make those dreams come true, with all the sacrifices you may have to make, with all the tears you may have to shed, with all the wins and losses tha...

Reflecting on what it was like last week waiting for the election results to come in, Ashley talks about how fear and anxiety can paralyze us when we are waiting for something we want. As much as we want to control situations in our life, the reality is we can’t. We can’t control everything that happens to us. Some things are completely out of our hands, and guess what boo? Sometimes not knowing t...

100 EPISODES THOUGH?!?!! That’s how ya’ll feel?! Today we’re celebrating a huge milestone for the Slay Girl Slay podcast. Our story started in Chicago with just a $20 microphone, and a few dedicated listeners (mostly family). To now reaching hundreds of thousands of you across the world. Thank you for every time you’ve pressed play, subscribed, told your besties’ about us, and so much more. Today...

Just because people don’t see you out here working, doesn’t mean you’re not out there getting the job done. Just because people don’t see you securing the bag, doesn’t mean the bag hasn’t been secured. Don’t let social media punk you into believing that you have to post everything, to prove everything. Your purpose in life is not attached to likes on Facebook, or the comments on Instagram. What pe...

How many times have we started doing one thing, and then jumped into doing something else? Started a blog, a business, a non profit, a new career path – but then jumped into doing school programs, teaching, writing a new book, a new YouTube channel, and so on. That’s just an example boo, but it’s so easy for us to get excited about starting a new project or goal, and then think of all the new idea...

Sometimes we think we need all the steps, all the resources, all the software, and all the programs to be successful in our fields. But that’s not the case boo! You have everything you need to make it work, whether you believe it or not. So use what you have, to get to where you want to go. You lack nothing sis. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Sometimes we’re so focused on just trying to get to a “good place”, that we don’t open our eyes and see the good place we are already standing in. You can’t get so wrapped up into crossing the finish line that you fail to realize how blessed and fortunate you are to even be running in that direction. Life comes at you fast boo, but slow down and take each day as it comes. Enjoy every moment, that...

 Indecisiveness and your lack of ability to make firm decisions, can be doing more harm than good. A lot of us tip toe around our ideas, our desires, and our plans and haven’t fully made a decision to go all in on them. We get stuck in the middle or the “in between” as Ash would call it – and fail to make a commitment to the decisions we make for ourselves. What if you stopped going back and forth...
