    spiritual boundaries are still boundaries ✨🪬🧿

    In this episode, I discuss something that many people in spiritual spaces struggle with but do not always talk about openly: boundaries. For a long time, many of us have been taught that being spiritual means always being patient, forgiving everything, and constantly being the bigger person. But I believe that compassion and self-respect can exist at the same time. In this conversation, I explore why protecting your energy is not selfish, why empathy does not require self-sacrifice, and how boundaries are a healthy and necessary part of spiritual growth. I also talk about the guilt that can come with creating distance, how to recognize when someone is draining your energy, and why honoring your peace is one of the most important forms of self-awareness. In this episode, I discuss: The common misconception that spirituality means tolerating everythingThe difference between compassion and self-sacrificeWhy boundaries are not punishmentsThe emotional guilt that can come with protecting your peaceLearning to respect your own emotional and spiritual limitsDo I sometimes confuse compassion with self-sacrifice?What boundary might my intuition be asking me to create?What would protecting my peace actually look like in my life right now?You don’t need answers right away. 🖤 🌱 If you have ever felt conflicted about saying no or creating distance while trying to stay compassionate, this episode is for you. 🌱 For more moments like this: https://linktr.ee/ashleicupid

    wellness isn't just physical 🌱📿

    In this deeply reflective episode of I’m Not Gonna Lie, I open up about redefining what wellness truly means. For years, I have focused on doing everything “right” physically, eating better, moving more, showing up strong, only to realize I still felt drained and disconnected on the inside. This conversation goes beyond surface level health and into the layers we often overlook. I explore the connection between mental and emotional weight, spiritual alignment, financial stress, nervous system regulation, and the environments we allow to shape our energy. As always I share how releasing old expectations, reconnecting spiritually, setting stronger boundaries, and intentionally designing her space shifted her understanding of wholeness. Wellness, this episode reminds us, is not about appearances or productivity. It is about alignment. It is about honoring your body, your mind, your spirit, and your peace. If you have ever felt strong on the outside but tired on the inside, this episode is your invitation to pause and reflect. You deserve more than survival. You deserve peace. You deserve balance. You deserve wholeness. In this episode we talk about : 🎧 Redefining wellness beyond physical health and understanding why looking healthy does not always mean feeling wholeRecognizing emotional and mental exhaustion that hides behind strength and productivityReleasing old guilt, fear, expectations, and past versions of yourself that no longer alignRebuilding spiritual connection through prayer, stillness, gratitude, and intentional check insUnderstanding how financial pressure, responsibility, and stress impact the nervous systemViewing peace and rest as forms of wealth and spiritual maturityBecoming intentional about your environment, relationships, and digital consumptionDesigning a life rooted in alignment, boundaries, and wholeness rather than survivalIf this conversation resonated with you, share it with someone who needs this reminder. ✨🌱 🪴 For ongoing reflections and updates: https://linktr.ee/ashleicupid 🪴 Thank you so much for your support.

    what I stopped entertaining 🪬🌱

    In this episode, I get really honest about the thoughts, patterns, and energies I’ve consciously stopped entertaining in my life — and how doing so has completely shifted my peace, my energy, and my alignment. Over the years, I noticed how much space in my mind was taken up by overthinking, endless “what-ifs,” seeking validation from others, and allowing mental noise to dictate my emotions. It was subtle, but it was draining me, keeping me from fully showing up for myself and for the life I want to create. I want to share what it’s like to release these patterns and reclaim your energy. I talk about letting go of overthinking that doesn’t serve me, releasing the need for external validation, and creating boundaries around excess mental noise. I reflect on how these changes have allowed me to slow down, listen to my intuition, and step into my power in a more grounded, intentional way. This episode is a gentle reminder that your mind, your energy, and your spirit deserve sacred space. I guide you through reflection prompts and affirmations to help you notice what no longer serves you, release it, and create room for clarity, joy, and alignment. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your own thoughts, drained by other people’s opinions, or caught up in the noise of everyday life, this episode is for you. By the end, I hope you feel inspired to pause, reflect, and let go of the things that are holding you back. I want you to reclaim your energy, trust yourself, and step fully into your own alignment. Because when you stop entertaining what doesn’t serve you, you make space for your highest self to show up — fully, freely, and joyfully. In this episode, we explore the patterns, habits, and energies we often unconsciously entertain — and how releasing them can bring clarity, peace, and alignment. Key points include: Letting go of overthinking and unhelpful “what-ifs” that drain your energyReleasing the need for external validation and stepping into your own powerReducing excess mental noise and creating sacred space for your mind and spiritPractical spiritual wellness practices to protect your energy dailyReflection and affirmation practices to cultivate self-trust and alignment 👩🏽‍💻 For more moments like this: https://linktr.ee/ashleicupid 👩🏽‍💻

    spiritual hygiene: what you consume matters 🪬

    In this episode of I’m Not Gonna Lie, I invite you to slow down and reflect on something we rarely talk about: spiritual hygiene. We’re intentional about caring for our bodies and our homes, but what about our spirit? From the content we consume, to the conversations we carry, to the way we start our mornings and move through our days, everything leaves an imprint. Nothing enters us neutrally. In this gentle, grounding conversation, Ashlei shares how spiritual hygiene has become essential in her life, and how small, intentional practices can help you protect your peace, stay connected to yourself, and move through life with more clarity and softness. In this episode, we explore: • What spiritual hygiene really means in everyday life• How noise, media, and conversations affect your energy• Creating intentional mornings and calming rituals• Setting emotional boundaries without guilt• Curating your environment for peace and presence• Learning to care deeply without carrying everything This is an episode for anyone who feels deeply, absorbs energy easily, or has been craving more balance and grounding. Let this be your reminder: caring for your spirit is not extra. It is essential. Listen slowly. Receive gently. Reflect honestly. ✨ Featuring a February Tarot Reading Special ✨ 💌 me if interested at divinewitch@gmail.com For more moments like this, find me here: https://linktr.ee/ashleicupid

    ✨BONUS✨ staying human in hard times

    In this bonus episode, I’m taking a moment to pause with you. With everything happening in the world—from injustice and violence to the emotional weight of staying informed—this episode is an invitation to talk about awareness without overwhelm. We can pay attention. We can speak up. We can stay civically engaged. And we can still protect our nervous systems, our peace, and our humanity. This is a conversation about holding space for what’s happening without carrying it all alone. About learning how to witness, process, and respond without letting the heaviness consume us. About staying human in times that feel heavy, loud, and exhausting. Take a breath. This episode is meant to be listened to gently. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who’s in a season of becoming. 🌱 For more reflections on healing, self-concept, growth, and evolving with intention, you can find me here: 🌱 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/ashleicupid Thank you for listening.

    who you become when you can’t go back ✨🥀

    There comes a moment when you realize there’s no going back to who you used to be. Not because you don’t want to — but because your spirit won’t let you. In this episode of I’m Not Gonna Lie, we talk about the quiet, complicated grief that comes with growth. The kind that shows up when you outgrow identities, patterns, and versions of yourself that once felt familiar. The kind of grief that doesn’t mean you made the wrong choice — it means you’ve changed. This is a conversation about who you become when the old version of you no longer fits. About missing who you were without returning to her. About standing in the in-between season where you’re more aware, more grounded, and still figuring out who you’re becoming. If you’re healing, evolving, or learning how to choose yourself in new ways, this episode is for you. Take your time with this one. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who’s in a season of becoming.

    starting over on purpose ✨

    In this episode of I’m Not Gonna Lie, I share the raw, honest story behind my family’s move overseas — from the moment we found out we were moving, to navigating the chaos of packing, travel, hotel life, and finally settling into a new rhythm in Germany. This episode explores the emotional and spiritual layers of relocation: letting go of comfort, trusting divine timing, adjusting to a slower lifestyle, and watching resilience unfold through motherhood. I open up about the beauty and the overwhelm, the tears and the gratitude, and what this move has meant for my personal growth, faith, and future vision. If you’ve ever felt called to make a big change — or you’re standing on the edge of one — this episode is a reminder that alignment often requires courage, trust, and movement.
