Join me as I explore the transformative power of changing your approach in life to allow more ease and creational energy to come through, breaking the generational pattern of always DOING, and finding lasting fulfillment in our lives.

This is something I’ve been doing for years and every time I do an energy audit my life changes. The practice has had different names and different processes over the years, but it’s essentially the same. We’re reviving, clearing, shedding even more so that we can clearly see and stop perpetuating self-destructive behaviors. If we don’t take a minute to pause and look at our energy, then clear and re-attune it, we become things that we never meant to be.These cycles happen naturally anyway, like the changing of the seasons, but being conscious and aware through those transitions is what is going to bring your next level out.Ease & Expansion Audit™ | a digital retreat and masterclass experienceSeptember 12th and 14th @ 7pm ETPurchase Your Ticket: https://buy.stripe.com/7sI3dZbnS8Viepq9AT/////Share with me what inspired you in this episode!

I have a client who we’ll call Michelle. She is very well connected, running a 6-figure business and caring for her family. She, like many of us including myself, was attempting to set boundaries to care for herself because she was feeling burned out and unfulfilled. She felt obligated to everyone around her for all sorts of responsibilities and her boundaries were ignored every time.If you know about boundaries, systems, and steps to creating your ideal environment but it’s not working, there’s deeper work that needs to be done. This is not about your strategy - this is about your energy. This is about energetic re-attunement, energetic clearing, energetic elevation so you can show up in the new expression of yourself that you deserve.Don’t sabotage yourself with the right intentions, but the wrong actions.///// JOIN MEEase & Expansion Audit™ | a digital retreat and masterclass experienceSeptember 12th and 14th @ 7pm ETPurchase Your Ticket: https://buy.stripe.com/7sI3dZbnS8Viepq9AT/////Share with me what inspired you in this episode!

As part of a mastermind I’m in, we’ve been going through all of our testimonials and our entire body of work and a common thread that I’m finding in my talks with my clients is that they worry that they’re wasting their time. Launching a business, launching a new offer, something doesn’t go how they hoped, was it all futile? Was that business, investment, or relationship worth it? If your launch didn’t fill up all the spots, was it a waste of time?This episode is dedicated to making sure you never feel like that again. Your time is only wasted if you fail to find the medicine, the gold, in the experience.What did you learn about yourself?Where did you let yourself down?Where did you go above and beyond and shock yourself?Mentioned in this Episode:Follow along on my journey to creating a local brick & mortar business in North Carolina!Join my Instagram Subscription community where I'm sharing BTS of becoming a local business owner, and all things entrepreneurship!

I had an epiphany the other day while going through pictures and things from last year’s Paths To Freedom tour that now, I’m actually living the life I was creating a little over a year ago when I started to feel the pull to put my business on hold and go traveling.That got me thinking. Do you know your manifestation timeline? I don’t mean little changes, I mean big life transformations that take months or years to come to fruition. Something that isn’t often talked about, which can really get in the way of manifestation, is removing or shedding resistance to allow the manifestations to come through.Right now is the future you were working on in the past. Right now is the past to what you are manifesting in the future.Mentioned in this Episode:The Elevating Woman Retreat: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/elevate-retreatBreak The Pattern & Level Up: https://courses.ashleyjohns.com/BTPLU-masterclass-replayMake Space Challenge: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/makespacechallengeBecoming a General Pattern Breaker — Intermediate Bundle:https://pathstofreedom.teachable.com/p/intermediate-course-healing-your-ancestral-lineage-becoming-a-generational-pattern-breaker/////Share with me what inspired you in this episode!

Right now, I’m feeling a push from the collective to move quickly through transition, get over it, get the breakthrough, ignoring the magic that happens in the remolding. We have just wrapped up the live portion of Presence in the Process (link below) and we’re encountering some ways that we stop ourselves from moving in the direction we want to go.This can look like:Saying what we don’t want Saying what we do want, and being resistant to the process to get thereInstead of getting stuck here, ask yourself, “how much more evidence do I need to commit to my change and transformation process?” What else will it take for you to accept what is so that the process can birth you through? What are you waiting on?What if you don’t have to hit rock bottom before deciding to move forward and face the lessons? Mentioned in this Episode:The Elevating Woman Retreat: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/elevate-retreatBecoming a General Pattern Breaker — Intermediate Bundle:https://pathstofreedom.teachable.com/p/intermediate-course-healing-your-ancestral-lineage-becoming-a-generational-pattern-breakerPresence in the Process: https://courses.ashleyjohns.com/offers/sDJHU4Pu/checkout/////Share with me what inspired you in this episode!

Crawl into bed with me while we unwrap the different perspectives of womanhood floating around. I know that my perspective has changed drastically over the last few years.I have seen with increasing frequency that more and more women are coming into financial abundance as a way to cover up or ignore the healing that needs to happen within us first, so that the healing can happen in the world around us. We all know the emptiness inside. We celebrate the fake wins - not the truth of what’s happening.Empowered womanhood isn’t about what you gain in your life, what you get from the world, or the boundaries you hold. Empowered womanhood is about the relationship that you have with yourself and your truth. What music do you need to face right now?  ///// Mentioned in this Episode /////The Elevating Woman Retreat: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/elevate-retreatBecoming a General Pattern Breaker — Intermediate Bundle:https://pathstofreedom.teachable.com/p/intermediate-course-healing-your-ancestral-lineage-becoming-a-generational-pattern-breakerPresence in the Process: https://courses.ashleyjohns.com/offers/sDJHU4Pu/checkout/////Share with me what inspired you in this episode!

Spirit had a STRONG message for me recently. During a guided ancestral journey and experience with my Elevate Mastermind ladies, there was a different journey for each of us. In my journey, I met each of the spirit guides that I have had through each stage of my life.Their message was…We’re waiting on YOU. It’s time for you to captain this ship and we will conspire with you to bring you your heart’s desires. Today’s message for you is the same. You are divine. Your guides are waiting on you for direction - now is the time.///// MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE /////The Elevating Woman Retreat in Mexico: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/elevate-retreatSign up for All Access Ash: https://bit.ly/ALLACCESSASHBecoming a General Pattern Breaker — Intermediate Bundle :https://pathstofreedom.teachable.com/p/intermediate-course-healing-your-ancestral-lineage-becoming-a-generational-pattern-breaker///// BE IN TOUCH /////Share with me what inspired you in this episode!

We’re going back to the basics of business, the foundation of my work. I’ve brought you with me through all the transitions I’ve been through in my relationship to work, business, leadership, and money and I’m ready to expand on that for you today.When I began as a brand strategist, I was helping businesses with branding, copywriting, marketing, and business development and what would happen was by approaching these things consciously and deliberately, they would grow personally. From there, I often saw that there was deeper healing that needed to happen, so I shifted into the generational healing space in order to facilitate that.Now that I’ve done both, I’m feeling called to revamp and refresh my Spiritual BSchool™ course and all of my other trainings to reflect the wisdom I have gained. Today, we start with how to really balance your soul’s reason for being here with the physical realm and the impact you can make to help others. ///// MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE /////The Elevating Woman Retreat in Mexico: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/elevate-retreatSign up for All Access Ash: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SqonbsMOO6ovWZSe-eDkffOnp5z9v08azpWClVYr55Q/edit?usp=sharingSee all of my offerings that will be available through All Access Ash: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/all-offerings/////Share with me what inspired you in this episode!

July marks the second half of the year on the Gregorian calendar and you may be hearing advice to check in with your resolutions for the year and see if you’re “on track” to meet your goals. That’s not how I’m going to approach the topic.I do recommend you do some sort of detox, fast, or cleanse this summer. It feels like an important time to go through and clean out, restructure, and get ready for the level up that we’re all going through.That said, there are some things I learned from the fast I just finished that seem contradictory compared to other fasts I have done. If you let go, you can allow much more to come through./////To see all of my offerings that will be available through All Access Ash: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/all-offerings If your'e interested in All Access Ash, email our team to receive the details!Summer of Shift: https://courses.ashleyjohns.com/summer-of-shiftThe Elevating Woman Retreat in Mexico: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/elevate-retreatPresence in the Process: https://courses.ashleyjohns.com/presence-in-the-process/////Share with me what inspired you in this episode!

I’ve been doing some thinking about the name of this podcast, why I chose the name, and what it means for the evolution of my business and my own growth. I haven’t been talking much about ancestral work directly, and in this episode I wanted to dive into what that means for all of us. You will need to take some notes and possibly come back to this episode again and again - it’s that juicy! In my ancestral healing work, I found myself repeating the same lessons over and over again with many of the same people, but they kept coming back asking for a message from their ancestors. That’s not how the healing happens. It comes from you being the connection, embodying the differences, and healing yourself - not just from building an altar and researching your genealogy. By doing the work, we find that:Freedom is innate and depends on you living it, not whether others changeEvery great movement had spiritual work and healing firstPattern breaking has a reason - not just to be breaking patternsWhen the work feels like a burden, it’s time to level up in your powerThe Elevating Woman Retreat:https://www.ashleyjohns.com/elevate-retreatINTERMEDIATE BUNDLE Healing Your Ancestral Lineage: https://pathstofreedom.teachable.com/p/intermediate-course-healing-your-ancestral-lineage-becoming-a-generational-pattern-breakerPresence in the Process: https://courses.ashleyjohns.com/presence-in-the-processShare with me what inspired you in this episode!

We all have the opportunity to do things in our lives that haven’t been seen in our lineage in a long time. As we work on healing ourselves, we are also healing our ancestors. I believe that the #1 thing holding modern women back is the fear that our vulnerability is weakness.It’s not. For generations we’ve been pushed into masculine energy just to survive in the industrialized world. By relaxing into the flow and vulnerability of our feminine energy, we’re able to create in a way that doesn’t burn us out.Maybe you just need a safe space to explore what feminine energy means to you. Something magical happens when women gather.The Elevating Woman Retreat: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/elevate-retreatFor more information about Presence in the Process, my new offering about moving through great life change and transformation: Visit https://courses.ashleyjohns.com/presence-in-the-processShare with me what inspired you in this episode!

This episode is a special one for a couple of reasons. I’m moving across multiple states and saying goodbye to my old home and recording space. More importantly, the other day I went live on IG while on the highway with the moving truck and the medicine that came through was magical!When inside transition, it’s easy to fixate on getting through the transition as quickly as possible to get to the goal. Change is uncomfortable and our mind, and ancestors, may make you want to feel like you need to just grit your teeth and get through it.But, if you rush through the process, you’ll be rushing through your life. You’ll skip over the emotional, mental, and physiological sensations that build new neural pathways to prepare you for your big change.The Elevating Woman Retreat: https://www.ashleyjohns.com/elevate-retreatFor more information about Presence in the Process, my new offering about moving through great life change and transformation: Visit https://courses.ashleyjohns.com/presence-in-the-processShare with me what inspired you in this episode!
