Spring is here — a season of renewal, growth, and gentle becoming.

In this episode, I invite you to slow down, tune in, and notice the seeds quietly asking for your attention. Together, we explore what it means to live with intention this season — to nurture not only the life you’re building, but the moments that will one day become your memories.

From my favorite spring rituals — morning pages with coffee outside, fresh flowers in the home, planting my garden, and moving life outdoors — to creating sacred, joy-filled moments with the people we love, this episode is an invitation to return to what truly matters.

I also share a personal story from a recent weekend in Texas — a full-body yes that reminded me how meaningful moments don’t just happen… they’re chosen, invested in, and deeply lived.

By the end of this episode, you’ll be guided to connect with your own “seeds” this spring, honor them with intention, and take small, meaningful steps toward a life that feels aligned, nourishing, and true.

✨ And if your soul is craving deeper connection and intentional space, I’ll share an invitation to my Spring Intentional Living Weekend Immersion.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode of Living an Intentional Life Podcast, we explore what it truly means to create a life rooted in alignment and self-trust.

Burnout is not a failure. It is information.

At the beginning of this year, I found myself walking in the forest feeling exhausted, depleted, and out of alignment. I had been operating from the energy I thought I needed — pushing forward, striving, and doing more — but what I actually needed was to recalibrate and reclaim.

This conversation is about:

• The difference between non-negotiables and boundaries
• How non-negotiables are the heart-aligned standards that guide intentional living
• How boundaries act as the “bouncer” that protects those standards
• Practical ways to try this on in your life, starting small and sustainably
• The importance of space, integration, and allowing your world time to recalibrate

Non-negotiables are devotion. They reflect what matters most and how you choose to live. Boundaries are protection — creating space for those values to thrive.

If you are tired of self-abandonment, overcommitment, or living in ways that feel out of alignment, this episode is for you.

We also explore how this work connects to deeper support — including 1:1 coaching and our upcoming retreat — spaces designed for recalibration, sisterhood, and coming home to yourself.

You are not broken. You are not behind. You are being invited back to your truth.

Tune in for a grounded, heart-centered conversation on reclaiming alignment and living intentionally.

In this deeply moving and first-of-its-kind episode, Ashley sits down with Chelsea Horton, the somatic therapy practitioner who guided her through a 3.5-month intensive that profoundly changed the way she understands her body, her nervous system, and her healing.

Together, they share a raw, honest conversation about what somatic healing truly looks like — beyond the buzzwords and into the lived experience. Ashley opens up about discovering her trauma responses, sitting with her body through uncontrollable shaking, and being held in a deeply safe and compassionate container as her nervous system learned to release what it had been carrying.

Chelsea gently explains what the body is actually doing in those moments, and why these physical responses are not something to fear — but something to honor.

They also explore how high-achieving, perfectionism, and people-pleasing are often rooted in trauma, and how returning to the body allows us to come back to our wholeness, safety, and truth.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from themselves, stuck in survival mode, or longing for a deeper, more embodied way of healing.

✨ A powerful invitation to remember what it feels like to come home to yourself.

What happens when you finally slow down enough to hear yourself?

In this deeply personal episode of Living an Intentional Life, Ashley shares what unfolded when she created space at the beginning of the year — space to breathe, to walk in the forest, and to listen to the quiet, persistent voice within.

Feeling exhausted, deflated, and disconnected from the energy she wanted to carry forward, Ashley began to receive clear inner guidance: to step away from social media, release alcohol, pause photoshoots, let go of her membership, and invite in more space. None of it felt easy — but all of it felt true.

This episode is an invitation into that same kind of listening. You’ll explore why space is where clarity lives, how to trust the nudges you receive, and how to take small, intentional steps that bring your life back into alignment. Ashley also shares how your values and what fills your cup form the foundation of a heart-centered life — and how creating space is the doorway to what wants to come next.

If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed, or disconnected, this episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t need to push your way into clarity — you can listen your way there.

In this episode of Soft, Seen & Sovereign, I sit down with Kaysha van der Heyden of Branding by Kaysha for a deeply honest conversation about what it really means to be visible in a creative life — without losing yourself in the process.

To live with intention, for me, means listening to the quiet signals. The subtle yes in your body. The gentle no you keep ignoring. The inner knowing that doesn’t always make sense, but never leads you astray. This conversation is an invitation into that kind of listening — especially when your creativity, your body, and your livelihood are all intertwined.

Kaysha and I talk about what it’s like to build a personal brand while staying soft, grounded, and true. We explore body image, being seen online, and the tender dance of sharing your work and your face with the world — especially when doubt, comparison, or old stories try to keep you small.

I also share about one of the most intentional decisions I’ve ever made in my business: letting go of my wedding and family photography work to fully step into personal brand photography. It was scary. It was a financial leap. And it was one of the most aligned choices I’ve ever made. Letting go created space for what actually fit.

We don’t skip over the messy middle either — those in-between seasons where things feel uncertain, capacity shifts, and creativity asks for room to breathe without needing to be productive. This episode is for the creatives, the entrepreneurs, the sensitive souls, and the women learning how to be visible without hardening.

You’re allowed to be soft.
You’re allowed to be seen.
And you’re allowed to remain sovereign in the way you show up.

About Kaysha :

Kaysha helps women overcome body image struggles and show up confidently in front of the camera.

Kaysha is a personal brand photographer who empowers women to embrace their bodies, express their authentic selves, and feel confident in every photo. She combines her expertise in photography with a deep understanding of self-image challenges, guiding women to step in front of the camera without fear and leave with images that reflect their true power and personality.

Her mission is simple: help women reclaim confidence, tell their story visually, and finally feel comfortable, and proud, being seen.
