The Ashley O Show

Let this be your reminder, you don't need to be the expert to take action. In fact, people need to see you in pursuit of the goal, they want to see the process, not just the results. Yesterday we talked about how to figure out what we actually WANT in life, today we take down an obstacle in the way. Also, our hybrid program The Burnout Club is kicking off this month, and now is your chance to...

There's a general theme I am seeing amongst the women I am connecting with lately: They have no idea what they want out of life, and are searching for clarity. It starts HERE. No quick fixes, no magic wand, but simply giving yourself the space to flow, dream, and build a vision for your life (WITHOUT the judgement, fear, or doubts). Also, our hybrid program The Burnout Club is kicking off thi...

A juicy reminder of how to move from a place of burnout and self-doubt into a space where you feel confident and lit up every dang day! This episode is DAY 2 of 30 days straight of daily podcasts designed to flip the end-of-year slump on its head. Also, our hybrid program The Burnout Club is kicking off this month, and now is your chance to get on the waitlist HERE - that way you'll be the fi...

Holy crap guys, we have officially entered into the last 90 days of 2023! 😱 Instead of the normal panic that accompanies this countdown (i.e. "I'm running out of time and I haven't achieved enough!"), I want to shift your perspective on what the next 3 months can mean for you. We are kicking this off with an event that I have just now decided to call Pod-tober...30 days of DAI...

"Am I still a real nurse if I chose to work outpatient?" "Am I still a teacher if I don't work in a school?" ^These are some of the questions I hear daily. We carry so much fear around how we should define our careers, and what "counts" or does not. Why are we continuing to trap ourselves within these boxes? We each get to decide what our careers are going to mea...

This one is for all of my nurses, caregivers, parents, teachers, or anyone else in a helping role that spends most of their energy pouring into others. It's time we shift the focus back to you, and prioritize filling up your cup first. Keeping your cup full comes down to 3 simple things, and we are diving into it all! Looking for a coach who is OBSESSED with helping you get back to your happi...

Falling in love with yourself isn't about saying a few nice things in the mirror, buying a new outfit, or hitting your goal weight. As flashy as these things sound, they just aren't going to get you there. Cultivating self-love that LASTS goes so much deeper, and that's exactly where we are headed on today's episode. And don't forget to share this with your girlfriend&apos...

Here's your reminder: " being a leader doesn’t mean you have all the answers, it means you were brave enough to step into the unknown first" - Simon Sinek I want us to change our perspective on what leadership can look like, and step into our own potential as leaders. This is for anyone who has carried the toxic narrative that in order to be a leader, we need to have all of the answ...

So many of us have been trained to be people pleasers for DECADES. That type of programming doesn't disappear overnight, but there are 100% strategies we can implement to break through this barrier. The key, really, is to learn how to trust ourselves enough to know that what we want matters. Trust that we are not being a burden, or "too difficult," or high-maintenance. In order to t...

On this episode, we chat about the topic of improving your body image...but it may not be in the way that you expect. We are pushing past surface level answers and digging deeper towards root causes, and I cannot wait to hear your thoughts! Looking for a coach who is OBSESSED with helping you get back to your happiest, healthiest, most aligned self? Apply for 1:1 Coaching   The Ashley O Show commu...

Classic pep talk for when you are feeling like a victim in your own life. It's time to take control of the reins and pave your own path. If you are feeling stuck in a job you hate, or plateaued in your health journey, or like the world is working against you - this one is for YOU. I hope it helps you remember that you always have the power to mold your thoughts and actions, and assign meaning...

Guys, it's a special one today. After a full day of driving, I convinced my roomies to shake off the exhaustion and record and have a chat with the podcast. My husband Daniel, and our friend Gloria came on to talk about their perspective on the nomad experience, the highs and lows, and everything in between! This was just a freaking FUN conversation, and half of it is just us laughing hysteri...

Do you have a tug in your gut telling you that your current job isn't right for you? Or maybe you feel an internal struggle between knowing that where you are is making your miserable but you also have no idea what else you would do? Or perhaps you don't even know if you want to be a nurse anymore...or you are afraid to admit that you actually hate working with patients... If you are fee...

For those of you who have goals for weight loss but are trying to do so without wanting to shove a fork into your eyeball...this one is for you! I am currently on my own weight loss journey (check out episode #218 for the details), and I am very intentional about making the process sustainable and ENJOYABLE. You heard me right, weight loss and the creation of a calorie deficit doesn't have to...

One of those raw, real, honest heart-to-heart conversations we love around here about leaving a season of pumping the brakes, and moving into a season of hitting the GAS. I am peeling back the curtain on weight gain, strength changes, all-over-the-place routines, and allowing myself too many hall passes for my own good. This is one of those episodes I am always afraid to share, but KNOW you need t...

A quickie, but a goodie. So many of us have this death-grip on life, perpetually waiting for the other shoe to drop, or for the next stressor to hit. If things are going well, we assume something shitty is coming. "That's life" we say.  I'm calling bullshit on this narrative we have all accepted for so long (myself included). Life can actually just be incredible, beautiful, str...

While I love talking about health and fitness, one of my passions is to help nurses build careers that light them up. So many nurses come to me saying they feel trapped, defeated, and burnt out, unable to decide where to go next. I want to help you take back control, and stop sacrificing everything you have for a job that isn't aligned. I promise we can find your home within nursing, it just...

Lately, I have had lots of nurses coming to me with a similar story: They have reached a breaking point where they feel like they can't neglect their health any longer, they don't recognize who they see in the mirror, they are frustrated, BUT they have no idea where to start... So today, we are diving into the top four strategies I would implement if I were starting over my health journe...

I get asked so often about my opinion on popular programs, and so many of the nurses that I work with come to me wanting to try the latest trend. The top four hits are: Whole 30, 75 Hard, Intermittent Fasting, and Macro-Counting. Today, we are breaking down Intermittent Fasting and Macro-counting and examining why these trends aren't working for you. (HINT - you're an insanely busy nurse...

Never thought I would be talking about Barbie on this podcast, but here we are. And for good freaking reason. It's time to dissect the societal narrative keeping us stuck, and create a world where we don't have to stay small. This one is for everyone. If you haven't seen the movie yet, I do discuss a couple plot points so if you want to go into the movie with zero hints, come back t...

A quickie but goodie exploring the potential we have in our careers as nurses when it feels like you're ready to throw in the towel. Regardless of where you are in your career, whether you just started or you've been doing it for decades, this episode will help you think bigger when it comes to building a career you LOVE day after day. ALSO, don't forget that the doors to our 4 week...

It's a big question, but a necessary one. Lately, I am getting so many women coming to me with the revelation that they don't know who they are anymore. It's no wonder when many of us have spent decades losing ourselves, and molding ourselves to fit societal standards. But you can only play pretend for so long before you break. You weren't meant to spend your life bending to fi...

Let's talk about weight stigma and weight discrimination. Our society is hyper-focused on weight as the end-all-be-all of health and it's complete bullshit. Your weight does not determine your worth OR your health, and we need to change the societal narrative. I cannot wait to hear what you think of this one! Fitness For Every Body: https://a.co/d/ir7Ko7G  ALSO, don't forget that th...

In this season, a quick, fiery, spicy pep talk is in order. And it's hot out of the oven! You're going to LOVE this one, we are rejecting the narrative telling us we have to reset, detox, or start over every time we aren't perfect. SCREW THAT. You and I are headstrong women that don't let someone else write our story and don't wait for anyone else to tell us we are good en...
