Welcome to Living an Intentional Life Podcast — a space for women who are remembering their hearts, reclaiming their energy, and creating lives that actually feel like home.

This is a place where you don’t have to perform, push, or prove — a place where you are met in your truth, your tenderness, and your becoming.

I’m your host, Ashley Strong Smith, and I believe that the deepest transformation doesn’t come from doing more — it comes from living with intention and listening more deeply to who you really are.

Each week, I share honest conversations and supportive tools you can gently try on in your own life — invitations to come back to your heart, trust your inner knowing, and create a life that supports your nervous system, your dreams, and your wholeness.

Here, we honor growth that is rooted, not rushed. We honor boundaries, embodiment, and the quiet wisdom of your own heart. You’re not here by accident. You’re here because something in you is ready for more — more truth, more softness, more alignment, more belonging.

So take a breath… and let yourself arrive.

  • Metabolism, Mindset & Momentum: A Sustainable Path to Feeling Your Best with Jenny Ferrero of Jenny J Fitness | Episode 185
    Mar 17 2026

    In this episode, I’m joined by Jenny Ferrero—Fitness Expert, founder of EmpowerU, and the voice behind Jenny J Fitness.

    This conversation weaves together metabolism, mindset, and momentum—exploring what it truly looks like to step out of extremes and into a way of living that deeply supports your body, your energy, and your life.

    We talk about building strength not just physically, but hormonally and emotionally…
    Supporting your metabolism in a sustainable way…
    Navigating perimenopause with intention…
    And creating routines that feel grounding, spacious, and aligned.

    I also share a glimpse into my current season—living in deep gratitude, flow, and presence as I prepare for a new chapter. Becoming the woman I desire to be through small, intentional rituals. Setting boundaries. Letting go of the noise. Choosing what truly supports me.

    This episode is an invitation to:
    Fuel your body with intention
    Move with joy
    And step into a version of yourself that feels strong, clear, and fully aligned

    Because wellness isn’t about doing more—
    it’s about coming home to yourself.

  • Building, maintenance + the call back to inspired action | Episode 184
    Mar 10 2026

    Send a text

    Life moves in seasons — building, resting, maintaining, and expanding. In this episode, I share my personal journey of slowing down, stepping into maintenance, and discovering the quiet pull toward more: more expression, more alignment, more of what makes life feel alive.

    We explore:

    • The difference between maintenance and stagnation
    • How to notice when rest becomes comfort
    • Recognizing the signs that it’s time to move again
    • Practical tools for integrating growth, presence, and inspired action

    I also dive into the power of retreats as sacred containers for truth — spaces where slowing down, reflecting, and reconnecting with yourself becomes possible. Growth isn’t about constant doing; it’s about listening to your inner guidance and taking aligned steps when the moment is right.

    If you’ve ever felt caught between where you are and where you want to go, this episode is for you.

  • The Evolution of You: Intuition, Creativity & Becoming — with Kelsey Erickson, Founder of Everme & Co. | Episode 183
    Mar 3 2026

    Send a text

    In this expansive and heart-led conversation, I sit down with Kelsey Erickson, founder of Everme & Co., intuitive leadership coach, depth psychologist, 3x author, and guide for one-of-a-kind creative souls.

    Kelsey works with thoughtful overthinkers, recovering control freaks, and visionaries who long to “let go and let it flow” — but aren’t quite sure how. Her signature philosophy, Intuition + Action = Magic, offers a grounded and accessible way to lead a Creatively Designed Life.

    We explore what it really means to live with intention — not as something rigid or performative, but as the absence of rushing, forcing, and controlling. For Kelsey, intentionality begins with intuition. When we slow down enough to observe, to be curious, and to be present, we remember who we are.

    This conversation weaves through:
    • The evolution of identity — in business and in motherhood
    • Navigating creative entrepreneurship while pregnant with her first child
    • How grief and death continue to shape her inner landscape
    • Journaling as a daily non-negotiable (and the power of Morning Pages)
    • Why she writes books as a way to always have a gift to offer

    Kelsey describes herself as rhizomatic — nonlinear, interconnected, ever-evolving — and this conversation beautifully reflects that. We follow the threads of intuition wherever they lead.

    If you are craving a softer way to lead…
    If you are tired of forcing and ready to trust…
    If you sense there is a more aligned way to create your life…

    This episode is for you.
