In this episode of Living an Intentional Life Podcast, we explore what it truly means to create a life rooted in alignment and self-trust.

Burnout is not a failure. It is information.

At the beginning of this year, I found myself walking in the forest feeling exhausted, depleted, and out of alignment. I had been operating from the energy I thought I needed — pushing forward, striving, and doing more — but what I actually needed was to recalibrate and reclaim.

This conversation is about:

• The difference between non-negotiables and boundaries
• How non-negotiables are the heart-aligned standards that guide intentional living
• How boundaries act as the “bouncer” that protects those standards
• Practical ways to try this on in your life, starting small and sustainably
• The importance of space, integration, and allowing your world time to recalibrate

Non-negotiables are devotion. They reflect what matters most and how you choose to live. Boundaries are protection — creating space for those values to thrive.

If you are tired of self-abandonment, overcommitment, or living in ways that feel out of alignment, this episode is for you.

We also explore how this work connects to deeper support — including 1:1 coaching and our upcoming retreat — spaces designed for recalibration, sisterhood, and coming home to yourself.

You are not broken. You are not behind. You are being invited back to your truth.

Tune in for a grounded, heart-centered conversation on reclaiming alignment and living intentionally.

In this deeply moving and first-of-its-kind episode, Ashley sits down with Chelsea Horton, the somatic therapy practitioner who guided her through a 3.5-month intensive that profoundly changed the way she understands her body, her nervous system, and her healing.

Together, they share a raw, honest conversation about what somatic healing truly looks like — beyond the buzzwords and into the lived experience. Ashley opens up about discovering her trauma responses, sitting with her body through uncontrollable shaking, and being held in a deeply safe and compassionate container as her nervous system learned to release what it had been carrying.

Chelsea gently explains what the body is actually doing in those moments, and why these physical responses are not something to fear — but something to honor.

They also explore how high-achieving, perfectionism, and people-pleasing are often rooted in trauma, and how returning to the body allows us to come back to our wholeness, safety, and truth.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from themselves, stuck in survival mode, or longing for a deeper, more embodied way of healing.

✨ A powerful invitation to remember what it feels like to come home to yourself.

What happens when you finally slow down enough to hear yourself?

In this deeply personal episode of Living an Intentional Life, Ashley shares what unfolded when she created space at the beginning of the year — space to breathe, to walk in the forest, and to listen to the quiet, persistent voice within.

Feeling exhausted, deflated, and disconnected from the energy she wanted to carry forward, Ashley began to receive clear inner guidance: to step away from social media, release alcohol, pause photoshoots, let go of her membership, and invite in more space. None of it felt easy — but all of it felt true.

This episode is an invitation into that same kind of listening. You’ll explore why space is where clarity lives, how to trust the nudges you receive, and how to take small, intentional steps that bring your life back into alignment. Ashley also shares how your values and what fills your cup form the foundation of a heart-centered life — and how creating space is the doorway to what wants to come next.

If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed, or disconnected, this episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t need to push your way into clarity — you can listen your way there.
