On today's drive-time episode, I am coming at you with a quick little recap of our journey to Bozeman, MT! Not going to lie, this leg did NOT go nearly as smooth as the previous one.

Botox is rapidly rising in popularity, and while I am not at all against women choosing to get botox, I want to offer a different perspective. I think that the story display on your face is a beautiful one, and I think there is a lot of power in embracing it. Plus, I think we could use a mindset shift when it comes to aging. Cannot wait to hear your thoughts! Looking for a coach who is OBSESSED wi...

As a recovering cardio queen, I thoroughly remember the feeling of feeling out of place and terrified in the weight room. A bunch of dudes who can no longer properly put their arms by their sides, a minefield of supplement-filled blender bottles, big egos, and grunting. Today, we aren't quite so alone in the weight room, as more and more women are moving in and claiming their strength, BUT th...

Let this quick episode just act as your reminder - it's okay, you really can SLOW DOWN, you're doing just fine. I was listening to Billy Joel's "Vienna" the other day and it made me think about how FAST we are always trying to move. We want weight loss in a week, a million followers overnight, a booming business as soon as we launch, or a six-pack after a few crunches. Wha...

ENERGY. We all want more of it, we all seem to feel like there's never enough. If you are looking for simple, tactical ways to increase your daily energy level and thrive, this episode is for you! We chat about energy drainers vs energy gainers, the power of resetting throughout the day, and the real secret to powering through your day (hint: it's not more caffeine). Cannot wait to hear...

This quick little reminder may not be about what you think! For many people, accountability partners are SO KEY for their ability to be consistent at a movement practice. And there's no doubt that accountability is known to help us stick to goals in many arenas of life. BUT - when we are trying to heal our relationship to exercise, accountability partners can actually interfere with your abil...

COMING IN HOT for part 2 of my takeaways from the epic retreat that I was privileged to be a part of a few weeks ago. We are chatting about the value of introspection and spending time with yourself, BY yourself and letting go of distraction, numbing, or avoiding the hard stuff. PLUS, we dive into the importance of showing the world your whole self, not the watered down version. Take whatever remi...

Today's pep talk is a simple reminder that you don't have to have all of the answers to take action! I have a tendency to feel like I need more and more information when I am chasing a goal, and it keeps me stuck in inaction. Maybe you can relate? I take more courses, buy more books, read more articles, and go on social media to compare myself to everyone else. And you know what? Somehow...

There is such immense POWER in calling your shot and getting yourself in the room. We truly cannot grow without getting a little uncomfortable. A couple of weeks ago I attended a life-changing retreat with 11 like-minded women, and t was more beautiful and impactful than I could've hoped for. In part one of this recap, I am sharing my first few takeaways from this event! Resources: - Tracy O&...

In my own internal exploration, and in almost every conversation I have had, it has become clear that we often invalidate our pain and traumas for fear that they are not "bad enough" to be worthy of processing or sharing. We compare our hurt to the world and find that others must be hurting more, therefore our experience doesn't matter. Let today's episode be your reminder that...

The question is: Do you need another diet, or do you need to HEAL? So many of us are endlessly trapped in the vicious cycle of dieting. It goes something like this: Start the diet, lose weight, stop the diet or "fall off the wagon" or "cheat," panic , gain weight, feel like a failure, get to the point where you feel "disgusting" and that "something needs to chang...

Imagine a bunch of dried up, dead plants on your windowsill. There's no bringing them back to life, so why would you continue to water them? Now extend this metaphor to your life - are there relationships, jobs, mindsets, or life paths that you are continuing to put your energy into that are no longer serving you? Let's dive into this question on your drive to work and get to work! Also,...

I get some version of this question A LOT: How can I get my partner to ___ (exercise, eat healthy, go to therapy, change jobs, etc)? Today we are diving into all of the juice! SPOILER: there are no cheat codes to forcing conformity...and I bet that's not really what you want. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on this! Also, I NEED your feedback! We pivoted our podcast direction back in Nove...

Yep, it's true. Even though I am a coach, I don't have the cheat codes and I don't have the answer key. Truth is, they don't exist. And life is a series of taking 2 steps forward, and 5 steps back. A truly impactful life requires LOTS of time spent being a beginner and growing painfully. And here I am. The podcast has felt more diluted lately, and today we explore why. We have...

The title says it all! SEX. We don't talk about it enough, it's associated with way too much shame/guilt, and at the same time it is a VITAL part of our health. Today we chat about sexual health, its benefits, common barriers, and how to overcome them. This one is JUICY and I cannot wait to hear your thoughts! Also, I NEED your feedback! We pivoted our podcast direction back in November,...

Are you giving yourself the time that you need in order to change? Unfortunately, there are no quick fixes, no amazon prime for reaching your goals. It takes a whole lot of patience, and crap ton of work. I'm sharing a new chapter I am entering in my own healing journey, and pulling back the curtain on the hard parts of healing. Cannot wait to hear your thoughts on this! Also, I NEED your fee...

Are you waiting for ifs, whens, or thens to make changes towards the life you actually want? You get one chance here, stop waiting for certainty. Also, I NEED your feedback! We pivoted our podcast direction back in November, and now its time to dial in and make sure that this podcast is still exactly what you are looking for! If you have a few quick minutes, it would mean the world to me if you wo...

This one is just a short, simple reminder that you are already doing an incredible job. You don't need to wait for everything to be perfect. Look around and appreciate all that you have already.  If you want to heal YOUR relationships with food, your body, and exercise and FINALLY ditch dieting and discover freedom, DM me on IG @ashleyoshow OR text "HOMECOMING" to 520-230-2379 and I...

While I was healing my own relationship with food, and learning what I actually liked and disliked without diet culture rules, I was labeled as a princess. I'm calling BS. These types of labels imply that asking for what we actually want makes us difficult, high maintenance, picky, or unreasonable. This impact ripples. Today let me remind you that you are allowed to ask for what you want - on...

A couple of days ago, I was hit with some big thoughts and decided to write down as much as I could in my journal. Today I woke up and got the feeling that someone outside of the covers of my journal needed to hear this message. So you get to hear it straight out of these private pages. I hope that you can take exactly what you need from this. That is and always will be my only mission. If you wan...

On this episode, I am sharing a topic that we are currently covering in The Homecoming Program, as we work on shifting and healing our relationship with fitness: intuitive movement! We discuss a few simple ways to start implementing a more intuitive approach to exercise, and learning how to listen to your body in the process. I cannot wait to hear what you think! If you want to heal YOUR relations...

Today we are exploring the research, claims, and mechanism of action behind a weight loss medication called Contrave. I have been getting constant advertisements on social media for this medication, so I figured I would dive a little deeper. And of course, I wanted to share all of the details with you! Spoiler: I am not a big fan. Let's talk about why... Disclaimer: I am not a medical provide...

Last week, we talked about the damage that chronic dieting can do to our metabolism, so today, let's chat a few methods we can use to wake it back up! As a reminder, there is no "one size fits all" approach to healing, so make sure you are choosing methods that feel aligned for you. I cannot wait to hear what you think! GUYS The Homecoming Program is officially LAUNCHED, and I am be...

You heard me right, folks. Your diet is working against you. Most diets today are all about restriction and deprivation and our bodies are NOT HAVING IT. In all honesty, your body doesn't understand the difference between a diet and a famine, so it's just trying to survive. Let's talk about what exactly is going on internally and what we can do to start healing.  GUYS The Homecoming...
