146. I Am Safe Enough To Go Slow
Coming to you for another Musings style episode from the comfort of my bed on day one of my bleed as I watch the Washington rain outside and dream about ordering some hot Pho. 🌧️🍜🩸🛌 This is the first time it's rained since we've been here and I'm obsessed. I can't stop opening the window to smell the fresh rain. As always, this episode is a catch up of where I've been, what's going well, and what I'm struggling with. Plussss, I dive into my criminal history and why exploring Canada was such a big deal for me. 🚔🇨🇦
THE JUICY HIGHLIGHTS:
• Enjoying the rain from my window & dreaming about Pho
• Celebrating visiting Canada after thinking I never would
• Abandoning myself in hopes of belonging to others

• Choose you, belong to you, && don’t abandon yourself like I did

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.
