As you regulate your nervous system, your true self emerges. So much of feeling off-kilter and out of control in your life comes from simply needing to reclaim the tools that can bring you back to calm. When you are calm, you are your most potent self! The way back to this isn't through one action, it's through creating a lifestyle around the intention to be at peace and centered within yourself no matter what happens around you. The way to do this is through daily rituals. In this episode, I'm sharing the 5 rituals that can help you go from scattered and out of control to at peace and feeling secure within yourself and your life. It's like you're getting new tools for your toolbelt that become a way of living, not just a life raft for when things go wrong!

Sometimes we lose that connection with ourselves and our goals in life. The further away we go from this feeling of being connected, passionate and excited about going after our true desires in life, the more our spirit becomes disconnected and that weight is a heavy one. We shouldn't run from it or hide it on a shelf in the darkest corner of ourselves...instead, we should reconcile with this disconnection by reconnecting to ourselves. "You're one decision away from a completely different life." In today's episode, I'm sharing a part of my story that I've had to find a reconnection to so that I can be happy and at peace with myself. I promise you when you feel like you're getting far away from something that's in you to create in this lifetime, you will feel deflated, down and lose confidence every action you take that takes you farther away from what you truly want. But it's not the end! It's the beginning of something so beautiful and transformative when you decide to make a new decision for yourself. Press play and let's Fierce Forward!

Are you a people pleaser and you're tired of living a life feeling like it's never enough? Like you're never enough? Underneath people pleasing is an inner child that chose this pathway as a response and survival mode. Being a people pleaser isn't who you are, it's a way you've learned to cope with getting your needs met. To be safe. I too was a people pleaser for the first half of my life until one day I decided I had to figure this out if I ever wanted to truly be happy in my life. There was a big hole in me and I could never fill it from the outside in. I had to do it from the inside out and that's what I did when I started a journey of self-love, self-discovery and choosing me for the first time in my life. YOU CAN change! You can learn who you really are beneath these masks we've created to appease, be approved of, loved and belong. I'm sharing how I learned to find my way through and out the other side of the loneliness and isolation of being a people pleaser. Vitality, truth, authenticity, peace and freedom are on the other side and it all starts with one decision to begin moving forward for you.

What are you currently resisting in your life that's bringing you pain, and frustration and keeping you spinning your wheels in the same spot? It's resistance vs. acceptance that keeps you stuck in the past and doesn't allow you to move forward. To become the next version of yourself, you have to let go of the old version of yourself! It's time to supercharge your forward movement by allowing things to be as they are not as you wish them to be. This will mean the letting go, the acceptance and the death of an old version of yourself that's no longer useful to you in your journey. In fact, it's keeping you from making progress so we need to address it and let it rest in peace. Choosing to accept yourself and your experiences allows you to be free to move forward in a way that's peaceful and true to you! Acceptance is the path to more freedom in your life.

When you're growing, making change happen, and moving forward, there's this part of the journey you're on after you begin and before you reach your goals called the Middle Ground. It's this messy middle that is required to go through to get to the other side of a goal and it also presents the most challenge along the way. The beginning can be fun and exciting and also really scary which is why so many people don't even show up to the start line. The end of a goal is the achievement and the time for setting a new goal! The finish line brings pride in self, joy, and celebration. And then there's the middle ground when you're actually running the race and putting all the work in. It's this middle ground when so many people quit because IT GETS HARD. And IT STAYS HARD for a while until you keep reaching new levels. I'm talking today about how we can use this middle ground and see it for what it is and use it as a means to find the joy in the journey! Press play and Fierce Forward for you!

When you're creating the life of your dreams and becoming the person you envision, there's one thing that you need above all else to carry you through to the other side...confidence! Believing in yourself is your only way forward through the really difficult parts of change and transformation. If you don't believe in yourself, you'll stop before you ever make it to the next level. The journey ends or you end up back at the beginning and it's game over. Building your confidence will be how you create the strong foundational core within yourself to be able to handle any judgment, roadblocks, fear, and self-doubt you'll encounter along the way. I started to see a pattern in my journey of moving forward for over a decade. There were 5 key things I did every time I started a journey of self-discovery which always came back to building my self-esteem no matter what journey it was. I'm sharing these 5 steps to building confidence with you today.

“Where attention goes, energy flows; where intention goes, energy flows!” ~James Redfield If you feel like you’re stuck and can’t move forward, it might be because you’re focusing mostly in your past pain or your future fear & worry. Don’t worry, I’m explaining what I mean in today’s really fun episode where I’m shedding light on how what we choose to focus on, creates our lives! There are 3 places we can engage with: the past, the present & the future. Most often we use the past by holding onto pain and living with it, we use the present challenges to keep us down and we use the future as a source of fear, concern & anxiety. But none of these ways of using the past, present or future actually moves us forward to what we really want. What I’m sharing with you in this episode today is that you can use these forums AS TOOLS to help shape your forward movement and actually HELP DRIVE YOU FORWARD in your life! “When you decide to take full responsibility for where you focus your attention, you become the Creator of your life.” Press play and Fierce Forward for you!

Thanks Ashley! I have felt so stuck, so wrong, for so long. I know I'm not living the whole life I'm intended. I am thinking it comes from being the youngest child in the family of 3 girls and they were (and are) so judgemental of others. Years ago I separated myself from them physically, but the words and actions from the past are still there. I still hear the comments. I still feel that pain. I still worry about how I'm going to he looked at and what others think. I am feeling now, maybe it's this quarantine and the amount of time I get to spend by myself, I am feeling this inner shift. Your podcasts are helping!
Thanks Ashley! I've listened to this twice now and know I'll come back to it again!
Great to hear from you Ash and to be able to take you with me wherever my travels go! Loved this.
