Summary:
This episode is for the women who need to remember who they are. It's a call to arms for those who feel lost, exhausted, or stuck in fear. You are in control. You get to create your life on your terms, and it’s time to cowgirl up and take action.

✨Key Takeaways:
🔥The Wild West Mentality: There are no rules except the ones you create. You don’t have to conform to timelines, fear, or expectations. You have the power to shape your life and business however you choose.
☀️Reclaiming Your Power: If you’re feeling lost or drained, remember why you started. Whether you’re crawling or sprinting, you are still in the arena.
🔑The Key is Already in Your Hands: You don’t need permission or validation from others. Your solutions lie within you. The right environment, investments, and experiences will help you remember where you placed your keys.
♥️Love Over Fear: Fear-based action is not sustainable. Build your business, life, and success from a place of love and passion, not survival mode.
👑Respect Yourself First: Loving yourself deeply is the key to everything—your creativity, your business, and your relationships. Your people will follow your lead when they see you thriving.

Practical Action Plan:
- Make a list of everything you think you need to do.
- Cut the list in half.
- Prioritize the things that scare you most and that truly move the needle.
- Block out time daily to execute on these priorities.

✍🏻Writing as a Tool for Reconnection: Journaling helps unlock your thoughts and release the weight of your emotions. Write down “This is who I am” and list everything about yourself to ground yourself in your truth.

DAILY Love Letter to Listeners:
- You are worthy of everything you desire.
- You are allowed to create, love, and experience this life fully.
- You are fire—you can feel it all and create it all.
- You are meant to be bold, brave, and wildly human.
- You have permission to change, pivot, and rise again and again.

Final Reminder:
Your job is to create, love, and take care of yourself and your community. Take action with courage and passion. Get your boots on, get messy, and get back into the arena. It’s time to cowgirl up!

In this episode, we dive deep into what it truly means to scale yourself, beyond just business strategies and success metrics. Our guest, Ashlie, has been on an incredible journey of transformation, choosing herself over and over again, breaking free from expectations, and stepping into her most authentic self.

Ashley started her career in the beauty industry at 16 and became a highly successful hairstylist and educator, even going viral online. But despite all the external success, she realized that her soul was craving something more. In the past year, she made a bold pivot, retiring her hair programs, going through a divorce, and embracing a new path of personal expansion and authenticity.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

💫 Scaling isn’t just about business—it’s about choosing yourself. Every decision Ashley made, from stepping away from hair education to prioritizing her personal happiness, was an act of choosing herself.

🌹 Transformation requires letting go. Just like a rose blooms after being encapsulated in darkness, Ashley had to let go of old versions of herself—her marriage, career path, and limiting beliefs—to step into her next chapter.

🔥 Fear of judgment can’t stop you. Ashley shares how she overcame the fear of what people think—both online and in real life—by realizing that judgment is just a reflection of others, not her truth.

👯‍♀️ Find your women. Surrounding yourself with a supportive community that sees you during your evolution is essential. Transformation is easier when you have people who understand your growth.

🎯 Dreams evolve, and that’s okay. Ashley once chased traditional success markers (a house, marriage, career milestones), but now her biggest dream is to live life fully, have fun, and experience joy—not just chase achievement.

This episode is a must-listen if you're on the edge of a big pivot, wondering how to be braver in choosing yourself, or feeling called to embrace a new version of you.

Your challenge after listening: Go find your women. Join communities, put yourself in spaces that help you grow, and start living your most aligned life.
