Living an Intentional Life Podcast
Welcome to Living an Intentional Life Podcast — a space for women who are remembering their hearts, reclaiming their energy, and creating lives that actually feel like home.
This is a place where you don’t have to perform, push, or prove — a place where you are met in your truth, your tenderness, and your becoming.
I’m your host, Ashley Strong Smith, and I believe that the deepest transformation doesn’t come from doing more — it comes from living with intention and listening more deeply to who you really are.
Each week, I share honest conversations and supportive tools you can gently try on in your own life — invitations to come back to your heart, trust your inner knowing, and create a life that supports your nervous system, your dreams, and your wholeness.
Here, we honor growth that is rooted, not rushed. We honor boundaries, embodiment, and the quiet wisdom of your own heart. You’re not here by accident. You’re here because something in you is ready for more — more truth, more softness, more alignment, more belonging.
So take a breath… and let yourself arrive.

Creating a Sanctuary: Boundaries, Rhythms, and Living Intentionally | Episode 178
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if your life could feel like a sanctuary—not just on retreat, but in the everyday?
In this episode, I share why I’m stepping away from social media for the month of February—not as an escape, but as an act of intentional love. From that place, I invite you into a deeper conversation about what it means to create a life that truly supports your energy, your nervous system, and your truth.
I talk about how sanctuary isn’t a place you go—it’s a relationship you build with your time, energy, and attention. I share gentle reflections, simple practices, and honest questions to help you slow down, reconnect, and live in alignment with what matters most.
In this episode, I share:
- Why sanctuary begins with subtraction, not addition
- How boundaries become the structure that protects what you value
- Why your nervous system needs rhythm, not intensity
- How small, consistent practices can restore clarity and creativity
- What it means to live intentionally through choice—not pressure
This episode is an invitation to soften, to listen, and to remember that your life is allowed to feel supportive.

May your life become the sanctuary you’ve been seeking.
