In this episode, we dive deep into what it truly means to scale yourself, beyond just business strategies and success metrics. Our guest, Ashlie, has been on an incredible journey of transformation, choosing herself over and over again, breaking free from expectations, and stepping into her most authentic self.

Ashley started her career in the beauty industry at 16 and became a highly successful hairstylist and educator, even going viral online. But despite all the external success, she realized that her soul was craving something more. In the past year, she made a bold pivot, retiring her hair programs, going through a divorce, and embracing a new path of personal expansion and authenticity.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

💫 Scaling isn’t just about business—it’s about choosing yourself. Every decision Ashley made, from stepping away from hair education to prioritizing her personal happiness, was an act of choosing herself.

🌹 Transformation requires letting go. Just like a rose blooms after being encapsulated in darkness, Ashley had to let go of old versions of herself—her marriage, career path, and limiting beliefs—to step into her next chapter.

🔥 Fear of judgment can’t stop you. Ashley shares how she overcame the fear of what people think—both online and in real life—by realizing that judgment is just a reflection of others, not her truth.

👯‍♀️ Find your women. Surrounding yourself with a supportive community that sees you during your evolution is essential. Transformation is easier when you have people who understand your growth.

🎯 Dreams evolve, and that’s okay. Ashley once chased traditional success markers (a house, marriage, career milestones), but now her biggest dream is to live life fully, have fun, and experience joy—not just chase achievement.

This episode is a must-listen if you're on the edge of a big pivot, wondering how to be braver in choosing yourself, or feeling called to embrace a new version of you.

Your challenge after listening: Go find your women. Join communities, put yourself in spaces that help you grow, and start living your most aligned life.
