In this kickoff episode, I cover the major difference many professionals aren't aware of - when they're working ON versus IN their business. Implications of this are vast.
Here's a great quote about tenacity:
"I love that right now, Jett (my son) is standing, crawling fast, but not yet walking. And the walking is one of the first examples in humans that I'm talking about. The willingness to fall down, the willingness to jack something up, but then not say, 'oh, I'll never get this. Oh, I'll never walk. I'll just be a crawler forever.' The tenacity, the grit, the ability to cry it out. Sometimes when you fall and then get right back up, pull yourself up onto whatever ledge is available."
Takeaways
- Understanding Business Roles: Differentiating between working 'on' (strategic, high-level tasks) and 'in' your business (day-to-day operations).
- The Importance of Self-Assessment: Actively assessing one's business practices and identifying areas for improvement.
- Embracing Constructive Criticism: Openness to feedback is crucial for business growth and development.
- Growth Mindset: Adopting Carol Dweck's concept of a growth mindset to improve continually.
- Balance Between Action and Planning: Balancing big-picture goals with actionable steps.
- Permission to Make Mistakes: Recognizing that mistakes are part of progress.
- Client-Centric Approach: Understanding that feedback may not always be about you but rather about the client's needs.
- Personal Reflection: The importance of reflecting on how you treat yourself and others.
- Celebrating Small Wins: Acknowledging and appreciating even small efforts and achievements.
- Consistency in Effort: Committing to regular self-improvement and business development.

How to get the most important things you need DONE.
-
How to start working on your identity.
- Importance of being brutally honest with yourself & identifying the 2.0 version of yourself.
- The power of saying no to people.
- The weight loss process is like a stock chart. There are ups and downs during the day to day, but over time, those highs have always gotten lower.
- Balancing act between tracking numbers & empathy.
- Chasing perfection vs. being average.
- The importance of having a supportive view of yourself.
- The importance of noticing the difference between real life and social media.
- We are addicted to our hormonal states and cortisol when we get so hot headed and angry at the other political parties in America.
- How to call yourself back in coaching - get out of your head.
- Create space, and journaling is a good way to get out of the head and down to paper. The challenge is to set a timer for 20 minutes and brain dump your thoughts on paper.

Power-Coach, Diana Georgiou, and I discuss beginning stages of coaching, unintentional voicemails, and an ancient human artifact (our brains).
Are you living in a way that aligns with the gift you want to give the world? There's more that meets the eye when you're trying to up-level your life... It's not about status or power or anything defined by someone other than YOU. These external motivators are great - there's nothing wrong with them, but if they're the only thing driving you, at the end of the journey you'll feel empty. We're talking about your impact, your life, and your contribution. You matter. You're needed. You're here for a reason, only you will decide what that reason is.
Takeaways
- When you try to get through hard times, and go through transitions you can always self coach, begin noticing everything about yourself. And at first, you'll judge the hell out of yourself, then learn to remove the judgment. Just noticing is a win.
- No relationship is like coaching because of the context - it exists to hold a space where you explore all the stories, all the narratives, everything that you're telling yourself all day long. We have 60,000 thoughts, not all unique, so we're just on loop. But the coach comes in and says, Hey, wait, that thing you just said there? Let's look at that. Then from there deciding to move forward powerfully.
- We use our brains to find ways to bring the true soul energy that we are into the world, we use our brains to find ways and behaviors and things that will get us the things we want in the world, and produce results we want to see. We use our brains to come up with the steps, but there is the essence of what we want as a human being and there is what we are here to do as a human being. And our brains have nothing to do with that.
- To be alive is powerful, such a true gift, and not only is living it a gift to you, but the way you live is also your gift to the world.
- Those of us who are here now were called to love before we became human, we signed up and said "yes, I will go and I will look for love and I will find it in a crazy world. And not only will I find it, but I will BE it."

Failed Marriages, Forgiveness, and True Friends? (um, "avoid," "do it for yourself," and "nurture," respectively)
But it's not always that easy...is it? Sometimes life has a lesson in store for us and THE ONLY WAY IS THROUGH.
I'm here on the other side of that lesson. And little has molded me in the way that my first marriage has. Kelsey Scott and I have repaired and deepened our friendship after a 2-year marriage. This is an episode you're not going to want to miss. I also want to thank the Soul Barbeque podcast for allowing me to share this incredibly intimate conversation.
Trying to kick-off the new year with a bang? My coaching programs are still on holiday pricing until the end of this week. Email me at ashley@herointhemirror.com to sign up and be your hero in the mirror.

Healthy Humaning - you're probably either thinking, "I'm already PRETTY healthy," or "I'm the FURTHEST from healthy I've been in a long while," or somewhere in-between. Guest, Deana Tanner keeps it real with me, talking family, hard boundaries, trust, and being your authentic, TRUE self. What the heck is that, you ask? Take a listen to find out. :)
“Polyamory is embracing the idea that we never should have believed that we could control people to begin with.”
“I say ‘when you go through the personal growth process’ because somebody can decide to be polyamorous but if they haven’t done the work, all they’re doing is they’re taking monogamy ideals and trying to transpose them onto multiple humans at one time, whereas successful polyamory comes with a lot of intentional personal growth.”
“We need to embrace our autonomy and take responsibility for ourselves, so personal responsibility is also recognizing that which you don’t have control over and autonomy is acting on your own benefit, your own behalf - knowing you’re the only person you can control.”
Damn. Message me at ashley@herointhemirror.com with your thoughts on today's episode!

Linda Burke is a friend of mine and POWERHOUSE Coach. You're not going to want to miss this conversation...She started Sister Mom’s FB group, 1,000 parents reached! She's been Conscious Parenting certified since 2019.
Some quotes are:
“I think the question becomes, ‘how do you balance the reality versus your standards…do you have any flexibility?’...You need to set realistic standards in your own house for what your children need.” -Linda Burke, Conscious Parenting Coach
“Parenting changes, but never ends…”
“My kids taught me to let go”
We discuss, "Is the universe the greatest example of parenting?"

We just found out tonight that our beautiful neighbor Peggy passed... With such love and remembrance for her, I'm reflecting on how to live well. Peggy spent her days bright-eyed and visited daily by multiple children - true love, embodied. What does living well mean to you? How do you show loved ones the depth of your love for them? Please show them today, my friend.
If I could tell you ONE last thing before I died, it would be that you're already enough - you have enough light, love, energy, expansion, freedom, passion, and deep fulfillment inside of WHO YOU ALREADY ARE. This energy comes from within you. All the love, all the compassion, everything, it comes from within. You're never disconnected from this stream of infinite love. There's simply no external circumstance that will re-align for you to feel these attributes of who you already are...they're already there.
You get to be the "Hero in the mirror.”That means, like Simba from the Lion King, you must "remember who you are."
Again, there's not one thing to alter or improve in order for you to be worthy (no 6-pack, or PhD, or anything).
I wanted to remind you of that today and always because I had forgotten it myself.
This a special podcast I recorded just for you. Enjoy!
I'd love if you text me at 210-363-3515 or email me at ashley@herointhemirror.com, after listening.
Let me know who or what is it YOU see in the mirror?.... I'd love to hear your thoughts and chat with you.
You can always text me at 210-363-3515 or email at ashley@herointhemirror.com

What the heck do you do when you fall down? I'm not going to give you a complete step-by-step because, let's face it, you already "know" what to do. The problem is you're shaming yourself for having fallen in the first place. So THAT'S where you begin when you've fallen down. You drop the shame, pick yourself up, and write a new part of your story. There's nothing wrong with you. You're just on an incredible journey. Live that journey.

We often are consumed in a "to do" list, forgetting to enjoy much of life. We tell ourselves the most difficult, challenging aspects of the task, and at worst, avoid it entirely. When we moved last August, I avoided putting my bookcase together because I didn't have the right screws for it. Books piled up all over the basement, where my office would be, prevented me from being comfortable at work. This went on for way too long, like 4 months! I finally decided to put it together, to "get it over with," and you know what happened? I freaking found the right screws the day I decided to put the bookcase together! It was perfect and if I hadn't spent all that time resisting, I've no doubt the screws would have revealed themselves sooner. What can you get accomplished today? No avoiding or dreading, like get it over with already, my friend.

What if the key to YOUR UNLIMITED ENERGY were to re-connect with the earth, your power, your source? Celeste Anderson, my friend, Nutritionist, and Plant-Based Coach, hosts a podcast Pivot2Plants, “Thriving on A Plant-Based Diet.” She's abundantly energetic, so wise, and is sure to up-level your nutrition. Check out these incredible quotes from the episode:
“The way we treat our bodies is like a microcosm of our life.”
“I (Celeste) just want to empower people to love themselves a little bit higher, a little bit deeper and a little more unconditionally.”
“When we’re talking about magazines and models, there’s this saying that says, comparison is the thief of all joy.”
“Eat food, not so much, mostly plants," wisdom from movie, Food, Inc.'s (2008) Michael Pollan.
She taught me that protein must be appropriately portioned. I eat keto as much as I can and on keto, eating too much protein will throw you into gluconeogenesis where your body will convert that to carbohydrates! What!? Yes....in fact, ruining the entire point of keto. So, my friends, be sure to watch your protein intake. As Celeste covers in our conversation, we live in such a protein-macho society where we think protein represents "strength," and "muscle," where the reality is ALL plants do that. ALL plants are muscle and provide rich nutrients, antioxidants, and so much more. I can't wait for you to journey deeper into incorporating more plants into your life. Even if it's just in a small way...your body will thank you. :)
So check out Celeste at https://linktr.ee/Celeste.Arielle
You'll learn so much about nourishing your body and living vibrantly! Thanks for listening.

Guest, Chris Contreras is a heart-driven philanthropist, wife, mom, grandma & dog mom... & a sensitive soul who loves life! She has spent time as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) (with kids in foster care). She enjoys classic rock, soft oldies and regularly dances around the house.

“We are all angels”

Why hide behind filters and create a fake version of yourself, you think the world demands? Isn't it infinitely powerful to be as you are called (by your heart) to be? So dream that dream and believe in it until you achieve it. The real tragedy would be to never fully believe in your dream because you're terrified you're asking for too much. You're not. You're worthy of your dream and more.

I know many will be appalled at my use of "spiritual" and "shit" in the same sentence, let alone the TITLE of this episode. That's the point...spirituality is less of a rule book, and more an experience we humans get to have. So try and let go of your preconceptions and what you think you "know" about spirituality - and from that openness, discover what you're truly longing to experience spiritually.
Rule-free and untethered, we get to experience and pursue spirituality, rather than have it prescribed.

As we each look back and reflect on 2021, it's easy to "say" we're committed to some huge change and label it a "resolution." Well, 92% of new years' resolutions are abandoned within a MONTH! How then can you enjoy today like you never have before? We discuss Ronnie Ware's blog turned book, the Top 5 Regrets of the Dying, as a foundation for our consideration of what drives our personal happiness each day. It is on a daily basis that true happiness can be measured. The top 5 regrets of the dying are: "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me, I wish I hadn't worked so hard, I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings, I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends, and I wish I had let myself be happier." As you dive into 2022, do so in light of these top 5 regrets because the truth is, today might just be it for you. You're not guaranteed another moment. Live like it. Tell me, what makes you happiest today? Let me know at facebook.com/groups/herointhemirror

We chat about that twilight space that has been used by creative people for centuries to design and iterate details of a project, outside the strict, pre-frontal cortex of the mind. Did you know when you wake up, your pre-frontal cortext is the last to come online? Cool huh? What kind of journaling or creative work can YOU accomplish first thing after waking because of this incredible brain hack? Let me know at facebook.com/groups/herointhemirror

When you fast, you get autophagy (look it up, it's your body's ability to make good copies of your DNA). You also get the chance to take a step back and review the week. How'd it go? What progress was there? How was the experience?

So much of your journey will contain resistance. Like a shuttle propelling up and out of our atmosphere, in the beginning, you'll require tons and tons of fuel. Moments that bring joy, feeling light, and clarity, are moments to fuel you through resistance.

When we label our circumstances "hard" and "unfair," we limit ourselves and are trapped in victim mentality. Becoming the strongest version of you requires these "unfair" challenges a d it's because of them you'll thrive. Maybe thank your struggle instead?

When you board an airplane to leave an unhealthy relationship, that’s a pretty effective way at a “clean slate.” But emotions come too, fears, and pain comes too. You don’t get to leave that part behind, but you DO get to try again.

Fear will hold those reigns so tightly when you allow it. The most dangerous part? You're completely justified. But this will keep you small and I know you're anything but. Mental game then on fear?

We all have something called a "map" that we construct from birth to make sense of our world. The thing about the map? It also contains assumptions, based on our experience, that literally hold us back. It's time for some map adjustments. What would you like to believe is possible for yourself? And what limiting beliefs are getting in your way?

"Airplanes takeoff against the wind, lifted by gratitude." Gratitude, “the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.” To be kind is to treat someone like kin, like family. It’s an incredible Monday for us to begin the week with gratitude.
At the beginning of a week, ask yourself, "am I heading in the right direction to produce the results I want?"

You can compete for riches, houses, cars, fancy things and you may never truly find peace because that’s not the answer. You’ve got to know what your deepest truth is.
