174. [Bonus Episode] Menstrual Phase Meditation12 Feb 202600:08:26

This bonus episode is a gentle invitation to slow down and turn inward. Ash shares the menstrual phase meditation from inside The Regulated Woman. This meditation is designed for your inner winter (the phase of rest, release, and renewal) offering a place to land when your body is asking you to pause instead of push.

TOPICS WE EXPLORE:

• Using your menstrual phase as a time for rest and restoration
• Releasing pressure, guilt, and the need to be productive
• Connecting with your inner winter and natural rhythm
• How stillness supports clarity, intuition, and nervous system repair
• Giving your body permission to slow down without explanation
• Why honoring this phase protects and expands your energy
• Creating safety in your body through breath and visualization

POINT OF THE EPISODE:

Your menstrual phase is not a problem to push through… it’s a powerful reset. When you honor this phase with rest and intention, you conserve energy, build self-trust, and support your body in doing exactly what it’s designed to do.

173. Why High-Functioning Women Feel Exhausted: Hormones, Stress, and Undereating with Leisha Drews (The Energy Is Everything Series | Part 6)10 Feb 202600:48:34

High-functioning. Capable. Reliable. The one who always figures it out.
And somehow… still exhausted.

In the final episode of the Energy Is Everything series, Ash sits down with hormone and functional health expert Leisha Drews… her long-time, deeply trusted go-to for both her own health and her kids’. This conversation pulls back the curtain on why so many high-achieving women feel depleted, anxious, wired-but-tired, and burned out (even when they’re “doing all the right things.”)

TOPICS WE EXPLORE:

• Why high-functioning women often believe “the rules don’t apply to me” until the body forces a reckoning
• How undernourishment shows up as fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, PMS, blood sugar crashes, and burnout
• The direct link between chronic stress, cortisol, and hormone imbalance
• How stress steals progesterone and contributes to estrogen dominance
• Why supplements can’t out-supplement a chronically stressed, under-fed lifestyle
• The all-or-nothing cycle of restriction, control, and eventual burnout
• The power of “better than nothing” when perfection keeps you stuck
• Why nourishment + nervous system safety changes everything

POINT OF THE EPISODE:
When your body doesn’t feel safe, fed, or supported, it will always pull the emergency brake. True energy comes from nourishment, regulation, and compassion… not more discipline, restriction, or self-pressure.

Or, as Ash puts it: eat more and love yourself.

164. My 2026 Planning Process (Structure That Creates Freedom)30 Dec 202500:23:21

In this final episode of 2025, I’m sharing exactly how I plan for a new year in a way that feels grounded, supportive, and sustainable. This isn’t hustle planning or rigid goal setting. It’s the process I use to create structure that actually frees me.

I walk you through my full end of year reflection ritual, how I set intentions across every area of my life, and why regulation, capacity, and self trust matter more than forcing motivation. If you want 2026 to feel different, this episode will show you how to plan in a way your nervous system can actually hold.

TOPICS & TANGENTS:
• My full end of year planning process from reflection to strategy
• Monthly reviews and why I track the year as it’s happening
• Celebrating what actually worked instead of rushing past it
• Setting intentions for life, not just business
• Script style intention setting and nervous system safety
• Why structure creates freedom, not restriction
• The difference between ease and avoidance
• Planning with ADHD and limited capacity
• Breaking goals into 15 minute or less tasks
• Working backwards to avoid all or nothing burnout
• Why consistency beats intensity every time
• Taking things off your plate before adding more

POINT OF THE STORY:
Ease doesn’t come from doing less or avoiding effort. It comes from resourcing yourself before, during, and after the work. When your plans honor your capacity, structure becomes the thing that creates freedom instead of pressure.

MENTIONED:
Episode 160: How I Plan Profit Without Burning Out
• End of year reflection and intention setting practices
• Nervous system regulation and capacity based planning

If you’ve been craving more ease, more clarity, and more support heading into 2026, this episode is your invitation to slow down, reflect honestly, and build a plan that actually serves you.

163. The Science of Becoming Her (and Why I Had to Break First)23 Dec 202500:29:42

This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what really happens when success comes faster than your nervous system knows how to hold.

I’m sharing the full story of what unfolded after a wildly intuitive, expansive year in business and how unworthiness, perfectionism, and fear quietly took over once things felt “too easy.” What followed was burnout, over-efforting, identity collapse, and ultimately a five-month sabbatical that changed everything.

We’re talking about the nervous system science behind becoming the woman you desire to be… not through force or mindset hacks, but through safety, practice, and embodiment. Why “acting as if” actually works, how success can feel threatening to the body, and why breaking was the doorway to everything I was trying to create.

This is about becoming her from the inside out.

TOPICS & TANGENTS:
 • What happens when success outpaces nervous system capacity
 • The hidden unworthiness that follows “too easy” wins
 • Perfectionism as protection, not discipline
 • Why success can feel unsafe to the body
 • The be–do–have model vs. chasing outcomes
 • Acting as if through nervous system rehearsal, not pretending
 • Identity, safety, and practicing your future before it arrives
 • Why abundance requires regulation, not effort
 • Micro decisions that rewire who you’re becoming

POINT OF THE STORY:
You don’t become her by achieving more.
You become her by teaching your body it’s safe to be who you already are.

MENTIONED:
• Microdosing as a nervous-system support for neuroplasticity and regulation
Golden Rule — including Superflow and Soul Gummies
• Code ASH10 for 10% off

If you’re setting goals for the next season of your life and wondering why they feel heavy instead of exciting, this episode is your reminder: becoming her starts with safety, not pressure.

65: Want To Coach Better? Be Your Best Client (The Momentum Project: Day 16)16 Oct 202200:11:00

Welcome to day 16 of the Momentum Project! In the last episode, we talked about embodiment. We talked about selling, serving, and embodying your offers – so business feels easy, fun, and truly aligned. 

 

Today, I want to dig deeper into this concept of embodiment because to authentically embody, we need to be fully expressed. One of the best and most important practices of my entire business is to be my greatest client. It sounds really simple, but it is truly one of the greatest strategies that you can deploy, today, to make the biggest impact.

 

TOPICS DISCUSSED

 

  • How I embody the work I teach
  • What I actually teach my clients
  • The difference between expression and embodiment
  • The most powerful practice you can apply in your business

 

EMBODIED

 

Are you ready to feel so creative that you never feel blocked about what to offer next? How about feeling so aligned with your business that life just feels like it's always working out? What about serving & selling with so much ease that the clients that are MEANT for you are literally magnetized to you? My last live program of 2022 is here, and it's called: EMBODIED! A 4-week mini mind where I'm showing you how to EMBODY every single one of these traits so you can be the magnetic, aligned, creative CEO you were born to be.

 

Space is limited & prices will increase.

62: Build A Business You're Obsessed With (The Momentum Project: Day 13)13 Oct 202200:09:21

Welcome to day 13 of the Momentum Project! We have had a lot of feminine conversations so far and it has been so powerful. But, I want to switch gears a little bit today and move slowly into the concept of business strategy – or better yet, aligned business strategy. 

 

Because I refuse to build a business that steals from my life (this is an old narrative I carried around social media – oof, how powerful is that?). I refuse to build a business that makes it impossible for me to live in alignment. I refuse to build a business I cannot take a break from. Instead, I built a business that allows me to live my wildest dreams every single day.

 

Let’s talk about the concept of taking a 30,000-foot view of your business so that you can build a sustainable and aligned business you’re obsessed with!

 

TOPICS DISCUSSED 

  • Questions you can ask yourself if you want an aligned AND successful business
  • Sustainable business and strategic alignment
  • Identifying your values and building your business around them

162. [Bonus Episode] When Stress Gets Stuck in Your Body (And How to Release It)18 Dec 202500:07:08

In this bonus episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes audio from The Regulated Woman private podcast. It is one of my favorite micro-tools for releasing stress that gets trapped in the body throughout the day.

We’re talking about emotional residue... the irritation, disappointment, pressure, or overwhelm your body absorbs when you don’t have time (or space) to fully process what you feel. Even when your mind has moved on, your nervous system might still be holding the weight.

This episode walks you through a simple, 60-second somatic release you can use in real life

TOPICS & TANGENTS:
• What emotional residue is and why it drains your energy
• How stress and emotion live in the body, not just the mind
• Why “pushing through” costs more than you think
• A simple three-step somatic release you can use anytime
• How incomplete stress responses keep you exhausted
• Reclaiming mental, emotional, and physical energy without effort

POINT OF THE STORY:
You’re tired because your body is holding too much. But there’s a way to change this because when you allow stress responses to complete, you get your energy back.

MENTIONED:
• My conversation with Alison Hardy on Six Figure Secrets — a raw discussion on success, burnout, and redefining what “enough” actually feels like

If this episode lands for you and you want more support like this — short, effective, body-based tools you can actually use — The Regulated Woman might be exactly what your nervous system has been asking for.

Welcome to day 6 of the Momentum Project! This episode was definitely brought to you by popular demand. I am here to share my best digital nomad life lessons, so far…because I’m definitely still learning!

 

The truth is that it’s so easy to look at somebody like myself, this digital nomad traveling all over, and think, ‘What a life!’. But honestly? I still have the same struggles as I did before embarking on this journey. I still have chores and responsibilities. I still have whiny kids who fight incessantly. I just have it in a brand new place. And I’m learning so much, so this episode is all about sharing those lessons with you.

BOUNTIFUL

 

One of my favorite topics to talk about is the strategy and energetics around MONEY because abundance desired is found in abundance embodied – which is exactly what I teach in BOUNTIFUL, a private podcast course where you'll learn the balance between being the CEO of your money and becoming the energetic match for the money you're desiring. I'll teach you all about the energetics of wealth and a sales flow that will change everything for you. This course will literally change the trajectory of what money gets to look, feel, and be like for you. Be the woman who knows how to make and manage her money, and believes she is worthy of it all.

52: Using Your Intuition To Know What You Want (The Momentum Project: Day 3)03 Oct 202200:12:30

Welcome to day 3 of the Momentum Project! In this episode, we’re going deep and talking about desire, clarity, and self-trust. 

 

I get asked all the time, “What is your greatest strategy? How do you have the success that you do? What is the first thing that I should be doing?” And for me, it always comes back to constantly building self-trust. 

 

As I said in the episode, “No matter how in tune you are to your intuition, if you never act upon it, there's no self-trust. No matter what strategy you put in place, if you don't have the self-trust to move forward, to persevere, to not hesitate… It really doesn't matter.”

 

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here.

 

TOPICS DISCUSSED

 

  • The two practices I do every day (no matter where I am)
  • Getting back in touch with your intuition and true desires
  • What to do when you don’t know the answers
  • A daily devotional practice that’s practical (even with kids)
  • How I personally build self-trust and how you can, too



DEVOTED

 

You've heard me say it a thousand times - your success is not circumstantial, it's an inside job! And this truth is exactly why I created my signature program, Devoted. An intimate & intensive program that offers a deep-dive on devotion in ALL areas of your life. It's about devotion to yourself, it's about being a woman first and a CEO second, it's about the rituals & practices that you can curate to ensure fun + creativity in all aspects of your l

51: The Affirmation-Confirmation Loop (The Momentum Project: Day 2)02 Oct 202200:15:50

Welcome to day 2 of the Momentum Project! In this episode, I’m talking about the Affirmation-Confirmation Loop. In essence, this is the concept of first recognizing and validating the beliefs that you carry and then reframing them. It is a powerful tool from my days as a trained therapist that I still use in my own personal life & train my clients on.

 

As I said in the episode, “It's not changing everything that you are so you can have a good life. It's noticing how your life is already good so you can attract even more goodness into your life.”

 

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here. Your daily hit of mentorship will be back, same time, same place, tomorrow!

  • The Affirmation-Confirmation Loop
  • Real-life examples of limiting beliefs you might have yourself
  • Giving yourself validation and empathy

50: How To Create Your Own Rebirth & Rebrand (The Momentum Project: Day 1)01 Oct 202200:12:13

Day 1 of The Momentum Project is finally here! During the month of October, you can expect a daily dose of mentorship from yours truly, which means an episode every single day. Eeeek! I’m so excited about this.

 

In this first episode of the Momentum Project, I’m talking about our beliefs – because that’s where everything starts. We cannot outdo our beliefs. I don't care what strategy, business tactics, funnels, or whatever you have behind the scenes in your business (or life); I simply do not care. If you do not have the beliefs to back them up, you are starting at the wrong place. 

 

As you’ll hear in the episode, “If it's meant for you, it's for you. If it's meant for you, it's just going to happen. And the best place to start is to find that limitless belief.” Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here. Tune back in at the same time tomorrow for a daily hit of mentorship and actionable steps you can take to live a life that feels successful on YOUR terms.

48: Mastering your 'Feminine Phases'20 Sep 202200:28:37

I've been having a lot of conversations with clients, colleagues, friends, and mentors about this concept of menstrual synergy – cyclical alignment, “cycle syncing” as coined by Alisa Vitti, or whatever the hell you want to call it. Basically, the concept of utilizing your cycle as a blueprint for your life and business.

 

And on today’s episode of The Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast, I’ll be focusing on the feminine phases of your menstrual cycle – and how you can recognize, master, and honor them.

 

Here’s a little sneak peek; “My focus in my feminine phases is restfulness [...] to turn inward, to trust and know that the way that I feel is meant for me, and I get to use it as my guide.”

 

Excited? I know I am! Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here.

161. When the Plan Falls Apart: Parenting, Values, and Asking the Hard Questions16 Dec 202500:22:59

Sometimes the plan for the episode… totally sucks. In this conversation, I scrap my original idea mid-recording and bring you into what’s actually alive in my world right now: parenting an 11-year-old, navigating big emotions, asking scary questions, and coming back (over and over) to my values as a mom.

We talk about what it means to hold space for your kids’ real struggles, why “because I said so” isn’t a value, and how to stay in the room when your child is wrestling with belonging, insecurity, and the very human fear of not being liked. It’s an honest peek into how I’m fumbling, regulating, repairing, and choosing relationship on purpose.

TOPICS & TANGENTS:

  • Life updates: Colorado snow, moving (again), and starting 2026 in a new home
  • Parenting an 11-year-old: hormones, friendship dynamics, and fitting in
  • The conversation no parent wants to have: asking your child directly about self-harm
  • Why kids need us to ask the hard questions out loud
  • Creating safety: therapy for boys, emotional literacy, and modeling vulnerability
  • Why “because I said so” is not a parenting value
  • Mutual respect, consequences, and holding boundaries after a big emotional moment
  • Curiosity as a parenting tool: better questions than “How was your day?”
  • When your child’s biggest fear mirrors your own (and what to do with that)
  • Remembering: you can’t be the parent you want to be from a dysregulated state

POINT OF THE STORY:
You will never feel “ready” or fully qualified for the version of parenting you’re in, it’s all first-time territory. But when the plan falls apart, coming back to your core values, staying curious, and being brave enough to ask the hard questions builds the kind of relationship where your kids actually bring you their real life.

45: My Secret When It Comes to Creating & Selling Offers30 Aug 202200:34:49

In the last episode of the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast, we talked about expectations. More importantly, we talked about lowering expectations in your business, and ultimately giving you permission to make life and business easier, simpler, and more fun. If you have not already listened, I highly suggest you tune into episode 44, it was a good one. 

 

But today, I want to dive just a touch deeper. I want to talk about expectations when it comes to creating offers, selling offers, and showing up in your business. As I said in the episode, “you can’t fuck it up unless you quit.” 

 

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here.

44: How To Simplify Your Biz & Make Things Fun Again23 Aug 202200:29:33

Is there anything in your business that you dread doing? That makes you feel like: “Oh, my God, I do NOT want to do that! Like, seriously. Give me anything else to do.” If you have something like that which, let's be honest, we all have, make sure to turn the volume up.

 

In this episode of the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast, I’m talking about those times when things feel hard or like a burden and how it doesn’t have to be this way. I’ll walk you through some practices and questions to help you bring things into alignment – making them fun, simple, and easy.

 

As I said in the episode, “things do not have to be hard in order to be successful.” When things are done in alignment, they get to feel good, they get to feel easy, they get to be easy.

43: Your Next Best Business Strategy - Part II16 Aug 202200:28:02

In this episode of the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast, I’m coming to you with part two of Your Next Best Business Strategy. So, if you haven’t already, listen to episode 42 (part one) before tuning into this one. 

 

Today, we’re talking about the non-negotiables I have in my life and business. Now let's be honest, I don't have a lot of business non-negotiables. I don't find business, strategy, or messaging to be the most important things in my life. My non-negotiables are typically around my personal life. 

 

But I do have a couple of business standards that I absolutely implement and attribute to my success. I very much believe that having these practices, honoring them, following them, loving them, and learning to trust them, has been one of the greatest reasons behind my abundance.

 

In this episode, you’ll hear me say… “I’ve learned to love my experience of service… And this is one of my incredibly important non-negotiable business standards every single day – to serve.” In practice, this looks like honestly not caring if someone EVER pays me, I’m still going to serve and over-deliver to my audience every single time. The free value I provide is just as important as the individualized, juicy experiences that my one-on-one clients receive.

 

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here.

You get to create whatever business you desire to create, in whatever way you desire to create it.

41: Energy Leaks: Are You Giving Your Power Away? [Inside DEVOTED]26 Jul 202200:11:27

Welcome back to the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast. Today, I am bringing you another incredible Voxer training from one of my favorite programs, DEVOTED. It was a Voxer Intensive where we got deep INTO it. We got into exactly what it looks like to truly develop and curate devotion to yourself (first) and your business that allows you to take your life to a whole new level. 

 

This specific training was all about energy leaks. In this training I’m specifically asking one question: are you giving your power away?

 

The truth is…everything that we experience – personal life and business – is either giving us energy or it is taking energy. Within this training, I hope to guide you through the process of clarifying where you are experiencing equal energy exchanges and where you are not. 

 

When you trust yourself fully, you start listening to your intuition, and that will guide you along the way to your most abundant life. Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here.

 

 

TOPICS DISCUSSED

 

  • Signs you’re experiencing energy leaks
  • What you can change today to claim your energy back
  • “When this happens, I’ll finally…” – Are you living by this rule?
  • BEING before DOING or HAVING

39: How Costa Rica Transformed My Life & Future Plans12 Jul 202200:29:51

Welcome back to the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast! The last time I recorded a personal-update podcast was when we had lived in Costa Rica for just one week. Well, now we have officially been here for over a month and I can honestly say that Costa Rica has changed our lives (for the better). It has changed our life, how we experience life, how we experience one another…it has literally changed everything, including what our future gets to look like. 

 

Costa Rica to me is the definition of doing it differently. And it has been a full embodiment of all the things that I have preached, taught, and fully felt in my soul – which is that you don't have to do things like everybody else in order to have the success that you deeply desire. 

 

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here.

 

 

TOPICS DISCUSSED

 

  • Why Costa Rica has been the embodiment of doing things differently for me
  • Our dream of living abroad and why we didn’t do it sooner
  • What I realized about motherhood since we arrived in Costa Rica

Kelsey is here today to give you one of the greatest permission slips you will ever receive. And, as she said in the episode, “...all the abundance that’s meant for you will find you if you’re open to it.” Make sure to tune in because that’s just the start of some major gems that Kelsey drops - I know you’ll find something that resonates with you.

160. How I Plan Profit Without Burning Out: Quarterly Goals for a Regulated Business09 Dec 202500:19:01

What if your business could feel steady instead of like a monthly rollercoaster? In this episode I walk you through my nervous-system-first profit planning, and how I map the year, choose what to sell (and when), and protect my creativity, energy, and peace while hitting my numbers. Today I’m sharing the exact quarterly profit planning process I use to grow my business and protect my nervous system. No more feast-or-famine energy. No more “I have to hit X this month or everything is falling apart.”

We talk about why month-to-month planning keeps you dysregulated, how quarterly goals create actual ease, and the system I swear by — from mapping my annual intention down to quarterly numbers, to creating a 100-idea money list, to filtering everything through desire, capacity, and season.

TOPICS & TANGENTS:
 • Why month-to-month planning spikes anxiety
 • The quarterly structure that keeps your business steady
 • How I map my annual goal into spacious quarterly targets
 • The 100-idea money list (possibility = regulation)
 • Desire, capacity & season: my simple decision-making filter
 • Building a business runway so you’re not creating from panic
 • Planning in a way your body can actually hold

POINT OF THE STORY:
Strategy only works if your nervous system can hold it. Sustainable profit isn’t about perfect months… it’s about rhythm, regulation, and a plan that supports the life you actually want.

34: How To Stop Feeling Like You Never Have Enough Time07 Jun 202200:11:12
We are having a conversation today about time and we will start with the undeniable truth, time is our most valuable asset.

 

In this episode of the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast, I’m talking about your relationship with time and time scarcity. What we choose to believe in and put energy towards are the things that we end up manifesting. When those negative thoughts creep up we have to say to ourselves, “I do have control of my energy. I can't create more time, but I can create more energy, which allows me to utilize my time in a more expansive way.” Tune in to learn exactly how I’ve changed my beliefs around time and energy to live a life full of limitless possibilities.

 

Thanks for listening!



TOPICS DISCUSSED

 

  • Why time is sacred
  • Evaluating your relationship with time scarcity
  • The ways you can create more energy
  • How we can only see what is meant for us
  • Why your energy is your best business strategy
