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.

When Everything Feels Like It’s Falling Apart: How to Return to Yourself | Episode 190
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What do you do when everything starts to unravel… all at once?
In this episode, I share a very real and recent moment in my own life — navigating pneumonia, things breaking around me, a client canceling mid-contract, and the spiral of questioning everything I’ve been building.
It was one of those moments where nothing felt in control.
And in the middle of it all, I heard something simple:
just stop.
This episode is an invitation into that pause.
A return to yourself.
Together, we explore what it looks like to slow down, to check in, and to support yourself when life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or out of alignment.
You’ll be guided through gentle, heart-centered practices to help you reconnect with your body, your truth, and what is actually present — so you can move forward with clarity, intention, and trust.
If you’re feeling lost, stretched thin, or like everything is “too much”… this space is for you.
