The Ashley Berges Show

Exiting a toxic relationship is challenging to say the least. Our mind makes us question ourselves, the relationship, and if we will ever find a good person to be in a relationship with, or if we're destined to live on our own for the rest of our life. We wonder if we will ever meet someone that we will get along with. We worry that we may be alone for the rest of our life. Sometimes we wonder if...

Many of you have heard about ghosting and many of us may have been ghosted recently. When someone ghosts you, you are left with unanswered questions, sadness, and a feeling of emptiness.

Usually you text more messages and there is no response and after a while you...

Much like how the United States received its freedom from the British, each and everyone of us go through a rebirth process that leads to freedom. Much like the phoenix, we recreate ourselves, battling inner and outer battles, working to ultimately win the war, and then solidifying our solid true self. In today's show, I am illuminating how we find freedom in our own life, freedom in our relations...

What do you spend your time thinking about and what you spend your time doing? Let's analyze our use of time & what we spend our time focused on.

Marriages can be wonderful integrations of two people coming together to create a home, a family, and a future. However, marriages can shift and augment into something different. As we know, people grow, change, and learn as we get wiser and sometimes we grow in similar ways and other times we don't. More and more people are complaining that their marriage has become a roommate situation and in to...

Many of us are not aware that we are dealing with one or more core wounds on a daily basis.

Often when we interact with a narcissist, we aren't aware. We don't realize the signs of narcissism when we are interacting with a friend, family member, or significant other.

We give words immense power, and in the process we lose sight of action. Even though actions speak louder than words, we tend to forget that all together. We forget that in our relationships and within ourselves. We listen to what people tell us and we forget to see if they follow it up with action. There’s a tendency of finding ourselves in friendships and relationships that push our boundaries,...

No matter the relationship, parent, family, friend, enemy, or romantic relationship, every person we come into contact helps us to see ourselves more clearly.

I've realized beginning on day one of our life here on this planet we begin to be programmed. We are programmed by our parents, environment, and upbringing. That programming impacts our lives in every way possible. The programming impacts how we interrupt something said or an action done by another. The programming inspires the creation of who we are and how we act in every situation and every rel...

What does the new norm do to our thoughts? How does it impact our day-to-day life? How do we interpret what we see? This last year has been one for the record books with our new form of separation, extreme fear, the wearing of masks, fear of venturing into public spaces, and the issues that masks create by hiding our smiles and how it can interfere with our depth perception.

Understanding oneself is key. We were once children and we remember how challenging it was to understand our feelings and emotions. More often our go-to emotion was anger because we didn't understand why we were angry or scared. When a child or young adult understands their emotions and is able to write about them and even draw them, it makes them more successful and more mindful. Ashley has a con...
