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.

    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.

    E190 - The Coaching Advice You Need If You're Sick of Starting Over

    If you’re exhausted from starting over every Monday, every month, or every time life gets messy, this episode is your tough-love intervention. Ashlyn is back with a fire-filled solo session, giving you the no-BS advice you need if you’re sick of quitting on yourself. She dives into the real difference between motivation and discipline (hint: motivation is lying to you), and how to finally fight the voice in your head that says, “no, bitch—not today.” Ashlyn breaks down what consistency actually looks like in real life, why success requires being flexible instead of perfect, and how to reroute without spiraling when things don’t go as planned. She also gets real about battling mom guilt, carving out time for yourself without apology, and choosing the version of you that’s waiting on the other side of commitment. This episode is your reminder that you don’t need a fresh start—you need a different strategy. Lace up, queen. It’s time to stop starting over and start showing up.

    E188 - "Do it Fat" with Sara Chambers

    Ashlyn sits down with brand strategist, author, and business coach Sara Chambers for a deeply honest conversation about body image, self-worth, and the stories we’ve all been handed about what our bodies should be. Together, they unpack the myths and conditioning of diet culture—the praise for shrinking, the shame for expanding, and the exhausting cycle of “getting back on track” that so many of us know too well. Sara gets candid about her own experience moving through body image struggles and the toll that hyper-discipline took on her mental, emotional, and physical connection to herself. She shares how redefining her intention—her “come from”—shifted everything, and how approaching change from love instead of punishment has transformed her relationship with her body. This episode dives into embodiment practices, daily mindset rituals, and the inner work required to untangle self-worth from shape, size, and control. It’s about choosing yourself—every version, every season.
