Open Book with Ash
Hi, I'm Ashley, your host.
When I was younger, I talked a lot.
Now I'm older and I still have a lot to say.
So why not turn that skill into a podcast?!
But in all seriousness, I went through phases growing up where I was certain I'd be an actress, then I thought maybe I'd go into radio...then it all shifted and actually turned into the behind the scenes work, like being a production assistant for concerts.
And one day I decided to go get a 9-5 and left all of that behind.
But if we slow down long enough to listen, life has a funny way of giving us little nudges to get back to our most authentic self.
And once I left corporate America, new opportunities were presented to me and each one has led me here, to this place where I can see how the vision I had when I was younger is still possible, just through a different avenue: a podcast.
This passion project is a way to remind me that even if I wasn't brave enough to do the things I thought I'd do when I was younger, I can still do a version of those things now.
It's still new. I'm still catching my bearings. And I am working on rediscovering my voice (that will be its own episode).
But as someone who loves to talk, loves to share, teach and inspire and always pictured herself doing something with a mic, camera or audience...this is my way to do just that.
Open Book with Ash is real life, unfiltered convos about body image, marriage, motherhood, self-talk, and all the other bullshit we should be normalizing and talking about more as women.
You may even have the occasional ah-ha moment that makes you go hmmm....
Pull up a chair. Grab a marg. Let's chat.
