Tune into this week's episode of Living an Intentional Life Podcast for Episode 91, "My journey + how it brought me onto the path of intentional living!"

This is an intimate peek inside my life and the journey that ultimately brought me onto the path of intentional living. I share insight into my childhood and being raised by a single mother, the shift of my biological father committing suicide in middle school, feeling like an outcast in high school to really finding myself in college as I studied African Studies, into the life altering experience of hearing the loud question, "Am I just existing or actually living?" to pursuing a life long dream of living and teaching in Africa. The episode ends with life after teaching English in Africa and where it has me in this moment!

I truly believe we find belonging in connection and community and felt so inclined to share a more intimate side of my life and story! If you're curious or want me to deep dive into any of these, please email me at hello@ashleystrongsmith.com!

Tune into this week's episode of Living an Intentional Life Podcast as I had the insanely beautiful honor of sitting in conversation with one of my biggest inspirations and teachers, Dharma Shakti the Founder + Owner of Yogalution Movement.

Back when I was in college, I took one of her yoga classes that quite literally transformed my life as for the first time in my life, I truly understood what it meant to experience "no mind" where the mind is silent and began to really connect to and ultimately love myself and my body.

Join us for an in depth conversation that really details her journey and what brought her to today, the impact she is making on her community intimately and at large, the root of courage and its immense impact on our lives, taking small action and truly embodying "It's all Figure-Outable!"

Tune into this week's episode of "Living an Intentional Life Podcast" for all things - "How to set goals, create the space to regularly check-in with + realize them!"

As I move through this conversation I share a special announcement (hint : free June challenge) and move through how to set goals, create the space to regularly check-in with + realize them.

With this, for goal setting - I share questions to ask, categories to reflect and really understanding your why behind that very goal. For checking in with them - I share how to break your goals down from yearly to quarterly to monthly, weekly and ultimately daily with the intention that small action every single day compounds to major change, transformation and realization of your dreams. Then, I end with creating the space to realize them which translates as supporting yourself throughout the process to stay grounded + connected to your dreams!
