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.

Coming Home to Yourself: The Courage to Be Seen & Supported | Episode 188
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There comes a moment in your journey where you begin to hear yourself more clearly…
and with that awareness comes a deeper invitation—
to honor what’s emerging, to allow yourself to be supported, and to build the courage to be seen in it.
In this episode, I’m sharing what it looks like to come home to yourself in a real and present way—through curiosity, through support, and through honoring the parts of you that are asking to be revealed.
From stepping into something new and unfamiliar (hello, beginner Pilates) to navigating the discomfort of growth in business and creativity, to leaning on unexpected layers of support—this conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to do this alone.
I also open up about a deeply personal season that has shifted who I am at my core, and the quiet invitations I’m receiving to begin sharing more… in a way that feels safe, intentional, and true.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to show up more fully in your life—but also feeling the fear that comes with being seen—this episode is for you.
✨ You’ll walk away with:
- A deeper understanding of how to support yourself in your current season
- Permission to lean into support—family, community, and beyond
- A gentle pathway to building courage in being seen
- A reminder that your growth doesn’t have to happen alone
This is the work of building a heart-centered foundation—
one that holds you as you become.
