Ep 8: Breaking Free from Shame

Ep 12: When No One Else is There, Hug Yourself

In this deeply personal episode of You Are Them Now, Ashley explores the simple yet profound act of giving yourself a hug—and how it can reconnect you to your power, your presence, and your inner safety. She shares a transformative story from an ayahuasca retreat, where one self-embrace cracked her heart wide open and revealed the love she had been seeking all along. This isn’t just about comfort—it’s about coming home to yourself when no one else is around. It’s about reclaiming your softness, honoring your shadows, and learning to be the one who holds you. Whether you're moving through grief, healing old wounds, or just feeling a little disconnected, this episode is your reminder: your own arms are always there, and they’re strong enough to hold it all.

Ep 11: Uncovering Irrelevance

In this deeply raw and vulnerable episode, I take you on a journey through one of the most profound realizations of my shadow work practice—uncovering the feeling of irrelevance that has shaped my life in ways I never fully understood. It all started with two back-to-back intuitive readings, both revealing the same message: something happened when I was 12 years old that left a deep imprint on my heart. But as I dug deeper, I discovered that this wound went back even further—to my earliest years, where I learned to take care of others but never truly felt seen. I share the emotions, the energy work, and the undeniable signs from the universe that forced me to confront this shadow head-on. And I don’t stop there—I give you tools to explore your own hidden wounds, including journaling prompts and reparenting exercises to help you reconnect with the parts of you that have been left in the dark for too long. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unimportant, this episode is for you. Let’s go on this healing journey together. 💜 🎧 Tune in now!

Ep 10: It’s Not Happening To You...It’s Happening For You

In this episode of You Are Them Now, we’re diving deep into one of the hardest truths to accept — the idea that life isn’t happening to you, it’s happening for you. I know, it sounds cliché when you’re in the middle of chaos, heartbreak, or yet another plot twist you didn’t ask for. But what if I told you there is purpose in the mess? That even when it feels like the Universe is snatching things away, it’s actually guiding you back home to yourself? I’m sharing some of the most personal moments from my own journey — losing jobs, battling addiction, even the not-so-cute moments like literally stubbing my toe — all of it, to show you how life’s curveballs have shaped me, redirected me, and protected me. We’ll talk about why trusting the process is more than just a spiritual Instagram quote, and I’ll walk you through some powerful tips and reflection questions to help you actually connect with these hard moments instead of just surviving them. If you’re ready to drop the victim story, trust the deeper meaning behind it all, and step into your full Shadow Queen power — this episode is for you.

Ep 9: The Truth About Becoming Them

Everyone talks about “stepping into your highest self” like it’s as easy as flipping a switch—but let’s be real… that’s bullshit. Becoming them isn’t just about deciding to be different. It’s about unlearning, unraveling, and sitting in the discomfort of breaking old patterns that have kept you stuck. In this episode, I get raw and real about what this process actually looks like—the deep shadow work, the messy in-between, and the fears that come up when you finally stop running from yourself. I talk about overcoming addictions (yes, even the sneaky ones like people-pleasing and overworking), owning your choices, and rewriting the negative stories you’ve been telling yourself for years. If you’re in a season of transformation and it feels scary as hell, this episode is for you. Because the version of you that you’re becoming? They already exist inside of you. You just have to stop fighting them. Let’s talk about the hard, necessary work of becoming them—because you are them now.
