Description

Have you ever reached a huge milestone, only to wonder, “Is this it?”

In this YCC Alumni series, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my former client, Ash. When she first came to me, she had just moved to a new city and was feeling more grounded in her career but less clear about her relationships, friendships, and family. By the end of Your Clear Calling, she had completely changed her perspective, improved her family relationships, and came out confident about her future.

Ash’s story is a beautiful example of how transformative it can be when you’re fully committed to the work, open to new experiences, and ready to step into your own purpose and self-worth.

THE TOP LEARNINGS IN THIS EPISODE:  

  • Understanding the impact of cultural conditioning on self-worth and ambition 
  • Shifting focus from constant achievement to holistic fulfillment  
  • The power of open vulnerability and community connection in group coaching 
  • Practicing boundaries: the “I am, you are” mindset for healthy relationships  
  • Embracing energetic detox, value trying new personal growth modalities  
  • Learning to appreciate presence over striving for the next accomplishment 

Ash is a first-generation migrant, daughter, caretaker, and entrepreneur, juggling multiple hats.
