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.

    E214 - WTF is HYROX?

    Ashlyn is back with a solo episode fresh off her latest adventure in Ottawa and she’s breaking down everything from her Hyrox experience. From the adrenaline highs to the “whose idea was this?!” lows, she’s giving you the full behind-the-scenes look at one of the toughest fitness events she’s ever taken on. She walks through every station, every kilometre, every mental battle, and every moment that pushed her to the edge. Ashlyn shares how she trained, what surprised her most on race day, where she crushed it, and the areas she already knows she needs to level up before the next one. This episode is equal parts fitness recap, mindset coaching, and unfiltered post-race honesty. If you’ve ever wanted to challenge yourself physically, get out of your comfort zone, or just hear what happens when a competitive woman decides to test her limits… buckle u GET YOUR TICKETS FOR OUR SHOWCASE - www.eventbrite.com/e/showcase-tick…s-1982465791549 -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Merriman is a mom, a business owner, and a lifelong proponent of growth, self-discovery, and new experiences.

    E213 - Keeping Up with the Kar-Daij-Ash-ians: Spring Edition

    Spring has sprung and the Kar-Daij-Ash-ians are back with another wildly unfiltered catch-up episode. Ashlyn and Daija are spilling all the tea on what’s been happening lately—from relationship drama and soft launches to business chaos, questionable decisions, and the life updates nobody asked for but everyone’s getting anyway. The girls are talking dating, friendships, fitness, motherhood, work life, and all the little spirals in between. One minute it’s deep life chats, the next it’s complete nonsense and aggressive side-eye energy. Basically? The usual. Expect hot takes, oversharing, laughs that go slightly off the rails, and the kind of brutally honest bestie banter that makes you feel like you’re on the couch with them at 11PM after two glasses of wine. Messy. Mouthy. Mildly feral. Just the way we like it.

    E212 -BAD MARRIAGE ADVICE: Marriage Myths Keeping You Stuck with Monica Tanner

    Ashlyn is joined by relationship coach and author of Bad Marriage Advice, Monica Tanner—and let’s just say… we’re throwing the rulebook straight in the trash. If you’ve been living by “happy wife, happy life” or forcing yourself to “never go to bed angry,” this episode is your permission slip to unlearn all that outdated, eye-roll-worthy nonsense. Monica is here to flip the script on everything you thought you knew about love and relationships and replace it with skills that actually create connection, passion, and respect. Ashlyn and Monica get into what really makes a relationship work (hint: it’s not people-pleasing and silent resentment), how to move from disconnected to deeply seen, and why thriving in your relationship requires way more honesty and way less perfection. It’s bold, it’s refreshing, and it might call you out just a little—but in the best way. If you want a relationship that feels alive, not just “fine,” this one’s for you.

    E211-Your Hard Season Is Not Your Final Chapter- The Power of Perspective + Resilience with Dr. Lyka

    Ashlyn sits down with world-renowned cosmetic dermatologist turned mindset mentor, Dr. Allen Lycka, for a conversation that will completely shift the way you look at adversity. After being misdiagnosed with ALS and given just six months to live, Dr. Lycka was forced into a life-altering turning point. Instead of accepting that fate, he chose to fight and what came from that experience is a powerful philosophy on resilience, gratitude, and what it truly means to live a fantastic life. In this episode, Ashlyn and Dr. Lycka dive into how to navigate life’s hardest moments, the mindset shifts required to overcome adversity, and how simple daily practices, like mantras and intentional thinking, can radically change your outlook and your results. This is about choosing growth when life gets heavy, finding purpose in the pain, and stepping into a version of yourself that refuses to settle. If you’re in a tough season or need a reminder of what’s possible on the other side of it, this episode is your sign. DR.

From meal prepping like a pro to their secret weapon for multitasking (hello, AirPods), they’re giving you the real-life hacks that keep their lives moving. It’s practical, it’s a little savage, and it’s exactly the kick you need to stop playing small and start showing up. Time to lock in, babe.

    E209 - One Year Single: Everything I Thought Divorce Would Be (I Was Wrong)

    It’s been one full year of single life, and Ashlyn and Daija are sitting down to spill it. The real, messy, surprisingly funny truth about what life looks like after a major relationship shift. They’re answering all the questions: what’s been the hardest part, what caught them completely off guard, and what they didn’t see coming. From navigating dating in a whole new world, to handling solo parenting, to the random “who deals with the spiders now?” moments. This episode is equal parts healing, growth, and “are we actually doing this?” energy. It’s about figuring it out as you go, finding your footing again, and realizing you’re stronger (and maybe a little sassier) on the other side. If you’re in a season of change, or just love a little unfiltered life talk, this one’s for you.

Nothing is off-limits. If it’s trending, they’re talking about it and rating it. Expect hot takes, real talk, and a few moments that might personally offend you (in the best way).
