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.

Building, maintenance + the call back to inspired action | Episode 184
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Life moves in seasons — building, resting, maintaining, and expanding. In this episode, I share my personal journey of slowing down, stepping into maintenance, and discovering the quiet pull toward more: more expression, more alignment, more of what makes life feel alive.
We explore:
- The difference between maintenance and stagnation
- How to notice when rest becomes comfort
- Recognizing the signs that it’s time to move again
- Practical tools for integrating growth, presence, and inspired action
I also dive into the power of retreats as sacred containers for truth — spaces where slowing down, reflecting, and reconnecting with yourself becomes possible. Growth isn’t about constant doing; it’s about listening to your inner guidance and taking aligned steps when the moment is right.
If you’ve ever felt caught between where you are and where you want to go, this episode is for you.
