Shamelessly Ambitious
143. A Life & Business Above the Standard
If you tuned in to episode 141, I shared a very personal & vulnerable story about a time I didn’t belong. A huge reason why I felt compelled to share that was because of the sense of belonging that comes with my new membership, the Above The Standard Collective.
Another urge you get inside the membership is to stop simply showing up for life & settling to instead start living intentionally and create magic in the day to day. If you were radically honest with yourself, how often are you just showing up in life and not existing to your fullest potential? You get to change that narrative.
THE JUICY HIGHLIGHTS:
• How I discovered what my legacy was
• My constant aim has been to help people live above the standard
• Creating a space where you don't simply exist, rather get to become
• How I live intentionally everyday & create magic in the mundane
• Becoming her & existing to my fullest and greatest potential

MORE ABOUT ASH
I am the definition of duality — I swear like a sailor and break rules like it’s my job, but I also hold incredible space for my clients and work my ass off to help them achieve the success they’re after. But I'm also here for the non-preneur woman, too. My background in counseling gives me a unique perspective on what it means to show up, serve, & create connection for those who feel like they've never belonged before.
