The Spirited Life with Ashley Strong

Manifesting Techniques For Actual Results!  I am so excited to be back with you and talk to you ALL ABOUT MANIFESTING! The good, the bad, the ugly, and why we manifest what we don’t want so much more easily than what we do!  Today’s episode isn’t just about being positive and being in a good mood all the time to hopefully get what you want. Manifesting is so much deeper than that!  This is real ta...

A sequel, a secret, a true gift you can thank me for later.  It's okay with me if this ruffles some feathers; in fact, I expect it will.... Yes, I said it.  I need you to understand this: There is something sacred about your desires. They were placed on your heart by your higher power and your higher self . Your spirit knows that your desires are meant to be in your experience. They are sacred...

Can we just talk about how manifesting is a whole ass art? Like it's an art, a skill, a power that, once learned, can not be taken from you!  But be careful, because you're constantly making decisions, and they aren't always in your favor. What do I mean? Well, think about it, Babe! What happens when you say, "Ugh, it's going to be a sh*itty day! Traffic is going to be terribl...

When life seems like it's totally falling apart, if you ride the waves instead of pushing against them, you will emerge anew—shinier, brighter, stronger, and more trusting of yourself than ever before!  This year, I felt like an imposter trying to show up for my readers and listeners. I was totally out of alignment with my spiritual practice, what served me, and my higher self. For the first t...

What type of meditation should you be doing? I have a confession: I wasn't always a fan of mediation. In fact, I didn't know a thing about it or why I needed to do it! I finally gave it a try when I hit a point in my life where my intuitive gifts were taking over, and I could no longer control them. I was also severely depressed and had no idea that depression and unmanaged gifts often go...

This week's podcast is all about my favorite book's over the years that have helped my spiritual practice, my personal development, and to keep me on track!     Listen here  or Watch here!   One book that literally made my whole life make sense was Three Waves of Volunteers and The New Earth! SO MANY AH-HA moments during that one! (All recommended books linked below!)   I hope you enjoy th...

"Why isn't my intuition working? How do I know if I can trust it? Is my intuition strong enough? I'm not getting anywhere with my meditations..." Does any of this sound familiar to you? It's something I used to ask myself and now I hear it from clients almost daily! Here's the thing, your intuition is always on, but to be able to hear it at will, understand the subtle mes...

Who Are Mediums and Psychics Actually Talking To? How Does Mediumship Work? Who Are Mediums and Psychics Actually Talking To? How Does Mediumship Work? Are mediums and psychics crazy, like who are they actually talking to? Where does their information come from? Are they actually talking to dead people? How does mediumship work?

How To Find Yourself Again  How well do you know yourself? You might think you know yourself better than anyone or that, of course, you know you….you ARE YOU. I want to challenge this belief and tell you that with every season of life, a new you is born while integrated patterns and versions of the past still play a significant role.  In my 20s, I realized I never knew who I was and that I was alw...

How do we begin to feel energy? What does it mean when our ears are ringing, or we get a sudden gut feeling that pulls us in a different direction? These are the types of questions that clients bring to me all the time! Today's episode was a live recorded question-and-answer session with my clients, fans, and readers! In this episode, we get into the specifics of the different intuitive abilities,...

Who's in your energy field? What are the signs someone is hanging out in your energy field, and how do you identify who is pulling at your energy? A few signs are a specific person constantly popping in your head, dreaming of them, their name randomly coming up in conversation, and a heaviness that you just can't shake! You see, we are all energy, and energy knows no space or time. If you&...

There are multiple reasons why you’re afraid of your intuition! Some obvious some not so obvious! Listen to this episode to hear how to take control of your intuition and allow it to help you FLOURISH! I was afraid of being a medium. I was fearful of my intuition, the things I felt, and the fact that I was possibly a crazy person. When you're a strong and unmanaged intuitive, your gifts can fe...

How do we truly begin to heal and let go of the past? Over the years, I have learned that to truly heal; we must release. Releasing in order to heal means forgiving, setting ourselves free, calling our energy back, and letting go of trauma bonds. One main way to access this level of healing is through the Inner Child and the Higher Self! What is the inner child, and why is it important?“Essentiall...

How to create more mental space? Mental fatigue can be physically paralyzing. It feels like you're tired, but you know you slept. It's like you can faceplant on a tiled floor and sleep for days like you are thinking of everything, yet nothing all at once. Mental fatigue can have you feeling like you're stuck yet spinning out of control. So much of our mental fatigue is created by the m...

5 Ways To Make Your Spiritual Connections MUCH Easier! I remember when I was starting to develop my mediumship gifts ; it was equal parts scary, frustrating, and exciting! Frightening for so many reasons. Would people think I'm crazy? Was I crazy? What if something dangerous came through? It was exciting because, duh! Frustrating because there were no clear-cut steps laid out for me. I didn't know...

Unpopular opinion, meditation can make us judge ourselves even more than we would have without it. Yep, I said it! Meditation is supposed to take us to a peaceful place, a higher vibration, and provide a sense of connection with the self. It's about gaining clarity and calm. However, sometimes, depending on how you're looking at it, meditation can have you judging yourself harder than before you s...

Awakening is a beautiful, wonderful, and confusing process. It's shedding the skin you've worn for the world to reveal who you are at your core. It guides you towards acceptance of the true self and reveals the beautiful, soft, loving soul that you are!  While incredibly beautiful, awakening can feel messy and isolating at times.  You see, most of us are conditioned into becoming who we...

Is the universe testing you? Do you ever feel like you can't catch a break no matter what you do and how hard you try?  I get it! I used to think life was out to get me, but then once I got more positive, I shifted to "the universe loves to test me."  I always tell people DONT ASK if anything else can go wrong because that is like asking for more challenges!  Challenges, you ask? Ye...

What is it like to be a medium? Interesting, to say the least, and it comes with a lot of responsibility too!  Not only do I have to make sure my personal feelings and advice don't get in the way of spirit's messages, but I am also not allowed to filter! I have to say things the way they say them, or they won't give me any messages until I do. Trust me; I've tried!  When I am channeling,...
