In this solo episode of Life Curious Women, Ashley shares a deeply personal update after taking a much-needed break in January and opens up about a major life transition that completely shifted her relationship to work, rest, and trust.

After being unexpectedly laid off from a role she loved, Ashley walks listeners through how she had unknowingly prepared for this moment, both practically and emotionally. From building financial safety and alternative income streams, to rewiring her nervous system around productivity and achievement, this episode is about what happens when life forces you to slow down — and you finally listen.

Ashley reflects on:

• Why January is not the best time for her to set goals
• Preparing financially and emotionally for uncertainty
• Letting go of the “one-income” mindset and embracing a portfolio career
• Trusting intuition before life makes the decision for you
• Nervous system safety, rest, and redefining success
• What aligned work and spaciousness actually look like now
• Navigating fear, trust, and unexpected magic after a major career shift

This episode is for anyone who:

• Is burned out or questioning their relationship to work
• Is navigating layoffs, career transitions, or freelancing
• Feels stuck between safety and alignment
• Is craving a slower, more intentional way of living
• Wants permission to redefine success on their own terms

✨ If you’re in a season of transition, this conversation is a reminder: you’re not behind, trust the journey!
