The Power of You
Hello and welcome to The Power of You! My name is Ashley Ta.
I am an Army Veteran, an Army Wife, a mother of three and a mindset/transformation coach. I have been on my own transformational journey since January 2014.
I started my journey overweight, unhappy, and unsure of if I would ever truly be able to find my own power.
I have struggled most of my life with low self-esteem, and was bullied a lot as a kid for my weight/size. So when I started my journey in 2014, my sole focus was just to lose the weight I gained after having my first child (and gaining 80 lbs).
But throughout my journey (and a total of three babies), I have learned so much about myself. More than I was ever expecting to learn.
So that is why I wanted to create this podcast.
To share what I've learned over the last 10+ years in my journey, and to continue to inspire, encourage. motivate and help other women find and discover their own power and magic, from the inside out.
I hope you love my podcast, and everything I share here. And if you do, I would love so much for you to leave my podcast a review, or come share any take aways with me on my Instagram:

But again, thank you for being here. I love you! And remember...
take care of yourself... from the inside out!
XO, Ashley Ta
The Power of You
The Power of Self-Validation
In today's podcast episode I dive deep into something that can feel uncomfortable (I know it is for me), but recognizing it is a powerful step in addressing it <3
And that is, external validation, or, allowing others opinions to sway the decisions or choices we make for ourselves.
As a recovering people pleaser, I know not seeking that external validation to make everyone happy can be a challenge.
But the big question I want you to walk away from this episode today asking yourself is: Am I TRULY happy with my life? With my choices? With my decisions?
As I also mentioned in this episode, I have 5 reflection questions for you to also help you in recognizing and understanding your own self-worth. If you wish to journal on these questions, they are:
1. What are some of your proudest accomplishments or achievements, and why are they important to you?
2. How do you define self-worth, and what factors contribute to YOUR sense of self-worth?
3. Reflect on moments when you have felt confident, capable, and valuable. What were the circumstances that led to those feelings?
4. Consider any negative beliefs or self-doubts that may be impacting your self-worth. What evidence do you have to challenge or dispute those beliefs?
5. Imagine your ideal version of yourself. What qualities, values, and strengths would this version possess? How can you cultivate and nurture those aspects within yourself?
Again, I know this can be a hard thing to admit to yourself.. But just know, we are all human. We all experience these things from time to time, and you're not wrong for experiencing it.
Just know that you ARE so strong, and capable, and smart and beautiful, and powerful...
and your self-worth is NOT held in the hands of others, but within yourself.
Believe that! <3
