06: The Overachiever’s Guide to Doing Less with Ashley Henson
What happens when the girl who does it all decides to slow down?
Her brain screams “Wait, this feels wrong!”
Take it from Ashley Henson. She’s been there, but she’s glad she pushed through.
Ashley is a former HR exec, full-time mom of five(yes, triplets included), and content creator who managed to build a platform and become a full-time influencer just by showing up and being herself.
In this Episode, she’s opening up about how hard it was to untangle her identity (and self-worth) from her fast-paced career.
She’s also sharing her best tips for slowing down, settling into a more flexible career with more work/life balance WITHOUT feeling like you’re worth less because you’re working less.
We’re also getting into:
- Why quitting her job was scary but soright (especially after triplets)
- How she literally manifested her influencer era by putting “I make money by being me” on her vision board
- The pressure to be “on” 24/7 as a content creator and how she protects her peace so she can be a present mom
If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting or low-key panicked at the thought of doing less, this one’s for you. Let's be friends!
