My story started with a mic, a journal, and a little bit of faith.

Since then, it’s grown into a podcast that’s reached millions, a network that uplifts women across the globe, and a novel that’s slowly becoming the most honest thing I’ve ever written. This space is where it all lives—and I’m so glad you’re here.

Welcome, I'm Ashley

I grew up in Chicago with my nose buried in books. Reading was my first escape—my first glimpse at what it meant to live many lives, feel many things, and make sense of the world through words.

I still believe in the magic of a good story. I’ve seen Gossip Girl four times all the way through, and I’ll never pass up a rerun of Reba. I light a candle every time I sit down to write, and I keep a journal that’s messier than I’d like to admit.

Everything I do—writing, podcasting, building—comes from the same place: a deep love of story, and a desire to leave something behind that makes people feel seen.

Happy Monday is the inner circle: kicking off the week together with extra pep talks, After Show with Ash, early book previews, and all the unfiltered conversations I can’t have anywhere else. Part podcast companion, part book community — this is where we begin together.
