Authentically Ashlyn

Ashlyn Gunderson

Whether needing an audio workout buddy, a friend in your ear over coffee, or a virtual sister to throw back a glass of wine with, Ashlyn's got your back. Authentically Ashlyn is not your typical female-led personal development podcast. The audio provided here may make you cringe, make you laugh, teach you something special or offend you ever-so-slightly. This may not be the self-help podcast you share with your religious bestie who preaches all things holy, your uptight Grandmother, or your sweet (or not so sweet) mother-in-law: there are plenty of personal development podcasts on the market for that. This is, however, a podcast that sparks conversation amongst friends beyond the monotony talks of marriage and children. This is a podcast that pairs well with an Aperol Spritz… or a 9 PM bedtime. This is a podcast that flames your once-forgotten fire to inspire you to grow, level up, and laugh along the way to becoming your best self. If you’re looking for personal growth with a little punch: this is the show for you.

    E199 - Let That Sh*t Go: The Psychology Behind Decluttering Your Life with Meg Golightly

    Let that sh*t go. Seriously. In this episode of Authentically Ashlyn, I sit down with decluttering queen and Go Simplified founder Megan Golightly to talk about why letting go of your stuff is way harder than it should be, and what it’s actually doing to your brain, your stress levels, and your life. Spoiler: clutter isn’t just messy… it’s cortisol. We unpack the psychology and neuroscience behind why women (especially those of us raised to “hang on to everything”) feel frozen when it’s time to declutter, and how your inner voice- the one saying “I might need that someday” is running the show. Megan shares how to: ✨Break the freeze of decision paralysis ✨Rewire your brain to choose yourself over your stuff ✨Start small (hello, bathroom drawer) instead of trying to overhaul your whole house ✨Let go without guilt, perfectionism, or emotional spirals ✨ Stop dragging clutter from season to season We talk about why decluttering is just like leaving a toxic relationship, why progress beats perfection every time, and how letting go of physical clutter teaches you how to let go in every other area of your life too. If you’ve ever said: “I’ll organize when I have more time.” “It was expensive, I can’t get rid of it.” “But what if I need it someday?… this episode is your sign. Because nothing you own is worth more than your peace. Press play if you’re ready to dump your clutter like a toxic ex and make space for calm, clarity, and the version of you who isn’t buried under stuff.

    E198 - Don’t Let Your Business Get Out of Shape

    Ashlyn is bringing her coach energy straight into the boardroom. In this solo episode, she takes everything she knows about getting strong, disciplined, and snatched—and applies it to building a business that can actually go the distance. After riding the rollercoaster of epic highs and humbling lows in her own entrepreneurial journey, Ashlyn breaks down what it really takes to create a business that’s resilient, profitable, and sustainable. She walks you through the five components of physical fitness—and how they translate directly into your systems, mindset, finances, and long-term growth. From increasing flexibility in your business model to tightening up your money habits and building real financial security, this episode is part strategy session, part tough love, and part hype talk you didn’t know you needed. If your business feels tired, messy, or one bad month away from burnout, it’s time to train it properly.

    E197 -Financial Therapy for Anxious Girls: Money, Mental Health & Real Life with @MixedUpMoney

    This week, Ashlyn is joined by personal finance expert and Mixed Up Money founder Alyssa Davies for a refreshing, real-talk conversation about redefining your relationship with money. Together, they unpack how money can be a tool to support your life—not control it. Alyssa shares practical ways to build healthy financial habits that actually stick, especially if you’re neurodivergent or constantly battling what she calls the “ADHD tax.” They also dive into navigating finances during one of life’s toughest transitions: divorce or separation, offering clarity, compassion, and concrete advice for moving forward with confidence. If money has ever felt overwhelming, emotional, or tied to your self-worth, this episode will help you breathe easier—and rethink what financial freedom really looks like.

    E196 -How to “Do It all”: A Cardiologist's Playbook for Reaching your Peak Potential

    Ashlyn welcomes local legend and cardiologist Dr. Sayeh Zielke to the podcast for a powerful, inspiring conversation about purpose, resilience, and what it truly means to live at your peak potential. Together, Ashlyn and Dr. Zielke go beyond medicine and dive into the mindset behind extraordinary impact. They explore how emotional, mental, and social health shape not only our longevity, but our leadership, relationships, and sense of fulfillment. Dr. Zielke introduces her powerful concept of embracing the “Jaguar mentality”—bold, focused, and fearless—while letting go of the passive “Seal mentality” that keeps people small, safe, and stuck. This episode is equal parts grounding and galvanizing. It’s about courage, advocacy, inner strength, and choosing to show up fully—for your community, your calling, and yourself. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to create real change, or how to step into your strongest, most intentional life, this conversation will stay with you long after the final minute.

    E193- Boundary Setting NOT People Pleasing: My Favourite Therapists Advice

    Ashlyn welcomes a very special guest to the podcast—her sister, Noel, a licensed counsellor in Canada—for an honest, grounded conversation about the emotional weight of the holidays. Together, they reflect on their shared history growing up and living together, how those early dynamics still show up today, and why family gatherings can bring up more than just nostalgia. They dive into common holiday triggers, the pressure of traditions, and how “doing it all” often leads straight to mom guilt and burnout. Noel brings her professional lens to the conversation, offering practical insight on setting and maintaining boundaries, while Ashlyn shares the real-life side of navigating expectations, roles, and relationships. This episode is about getting clear on your why, choosing what actually matters, and giving yourself permission to do the holidays differently—without guilt. Thoughtful, relatable, and deeply human, this one feels like a conversation you didn’t know you needed.
