The Scary, sweaty, sleepy podcast

Episode #39: When the Plan Goes Out the Window…and the producer accidentally ends up on the mic.

Sometimes the outline falls apart. The conversation takes a turn. The microphones stay rolling… and suddenly the producer becomes part of the episode.   This week on Scary, Sweaty, Sleepy, Ashley is joined by producer Daniel Anderson of Audio Alchemy Productions for an unexpected, unfiltered conversation about life behind the scenes, midlife chaos, creativity, connection, and what happens when you stop trying to control every moment.   It’s funny, honest, awkward in the best way, and proof that sometimes the most meaningful conversations are the ones you never planned for. This episode is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

Episode #38 - Paxton & Kelly Peters

Today’s conversation is raw, real, and deeply human. My guest, Kelli Peters, is a woman in recovery who fought her way back to herself—only to be met with a breast cancer diagnosis that changed everything.   And as if that wasn’t enough, she was thrown into menopause without the option of hormone therapy.   This episode is about more than survival. It’s about identity, resilience, and what it looks like to navigate a body that no longer plays by the same rules.   If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body… or like healing came with unexpected trade-offs… this one is going to stay with you.   This episode is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

Episode #37: Midlife Ruined My Tolerance

Midlife has a way of waking you up.   What you used to ignore, excuse, or work around… you can’t anymore. Not because you’re dramatic—because you’re aware.   This episode is about rising standards, self-respect, and no longer abandoning yourself to keep the peace.   Scary, Sweaty, Sleepy — Midlife gets real.   This episode is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

Episode #36: 46 & Feral

Midlife isn’t a crisis — it’s clarity. In this short episode of Scary, Sweaty, Sleepy, Ashley shares what it means to feel a little feral at 46 and why protecting your peace suddenly matters more than pleasing everyone else.   This episode is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.
