The Voice of Ash
The Voice of Ash is a podcast for high-functioning women who are tired of performing their lives and ready to come home to themselves.
Hosted by shadow work coach Ashley LaButte, this space is where emotions become wisdom, self-betrayal turns into self-trust, and healing goes deeper than mindset shifts. Through raw conversations, embodiment practices, personal stories, and powerful reflections, you will learn how to stop abandoning yourself, become friends with your shadow instead of fighting it, and make grounded choices that align with who you truly are. Not who you were taught to be.
The Voice of Ash represents what rises after everything false burns away.
Ash is what remains after transformation (the truth, the clarity, the real self beneath the masks). This podcast is about finding your voice after survival, after people-pleasing, after living for everyone else. It is the sound of becoming who you actually are. This journey is not perfect and is messy.
If you are emotionally intelligent, self-aware, and ready to stop living on autopilot, this is where your rebirth begins.
Transformation isn’t loud.
It is honest. It is embodied. It is powerful.
Welcome to The Voice of Ash. Where you rise from what no longer serves you and step into who you are becoming.

For most of her life, Ashley said she didn't like hugs. Long ones, anyway. But what if that wasn't actually true. What if it was just a protection? In this raw and vulnerable episode, Ashley takes you through a years-long journey of trying to understand what love even is, and the moment at a shadow work retreat that cracked everything open.
She shares the activity that had her (someone who squirms out of long hugs) running into people's arms and not wanting to let go. And the hug that made her break down crying because it felt like the one she'd always wished her mother would give her.
This one goes deep.
