    AI Overload: What’s Giving Me the Ick (and How to Use AI Without Losing Your Edge)

    Have you noticed more and more AI flooding your feeds and inbox? You’re not alone and it’s exhausting. In this episode, I unpack some of the biggest “ick” trends I’m seeing in how people are using AI in their businesses and careers. From over-automation to losing your authentic voice, we’ll explore where AI starts to work against trust, credibility, and real connection. I also share how I personally use AI on a daily basis to support my life and business without becoming overly dependent on it. You’ll hear practical ways to leverage AI as a tool, not a crutch, so you can stay sharp, human, and intentional in how you work. If you’re using AI, thinking about using it, or just curious about what’s happening in this space, this episode is for you.

    New Year, New Me? (2026 Edition)

    In this episode, New Year, New Me, I share my personal commitments for the podcast in 2026, along with the goals I’m working toward this year. I reflect on why New Year’s resolutions and goals so often fall apart, and why so many people end up in the exact same place 365 days later. I also walk through some of the highlights and challenges from my 2025, how those experiences shaped my 2026 goals, and the word I’m using to guide my focus this year. We dive into what it actually takes to follow through on your goals, including a practical way to think about execution using a GPS-style approach to direction and decision-making. This episode is about moving beyond motivation, blocking out the noise, and committing to meaningful action. If you’re tired of going through the motions and want to make 2026 a year you’re genuinely proud of, this episode is for you.

    You Don’t Need to Be an Influencer — But You Do Need to Be Influential

    You don’t control the sale — you influence it. In this episode, Ashley breaks down the subtle art of influence: what it really means, what it’s not, and why every great leader, parent, and salesperson relies on it. You’ll learn how to build trust without pressure, connect without control, and qualify for influence — not just interest.

    Building Your Sales Practice

    In this episode, I explore what it really means to build your sales practice. After getting back in the air for the first time in over two years, I realized how quickly skills can fade when they aren’t used. The same is true in sales. We don’t rise to the level of our goals — we fall to the level of our practice. I break down how to build a sales practice around the simple equation: Skills + Activity + Execution = Results.

  6. The Trap of Dichotomy — and the Power of Detachment

    10/21/2025

    The Trap of Dichotomy — and the Power of Detachment

    In this episode, I talk about how easy it is to fall into the trap of dichotomy—seeing everything in extremes. Success or failure. Win or lose. All in or all out. When we live that way, our self-worth becomes tied to outcomes, and our peace depends on performance. I share examples from life and business where this shows up, and why learning the art of detachment changes everything. You’ll learn how to shift from chasing rewards to developing resources—the skills, mindset, and perspective that make you resilient no matter what happens. Whether you’re growing a business, leading a team, or just trying to stay grounded through change, this episode will help you step out of extremes and into clarity.

  7. Why Your Customers Need a Guide—Not a Know-It-All

    Why Your Customers Need a Guide—Not a Know-It-All

    In this episode, I talk about one of the biggest myths in business and sales — the idea that you need to have all the answers to win your customer’s trust. The truth? We’re living in a world overflowing with information, and most people are stuck in decision paralysis. They don’t need another know-it-all telling them what to do — they need a guide who can help them make sense of it all and take confident action. I share how to shift from trying to impress to helping your clients make the best decision for where they are, how to meet them in their process, and why clarity and empathy will always beat expertise and ego. If you’ve ever felt like you need to know more before showing up, this episode will remind you that your value isn’t in having every answer — it’s in helping people find their right next step.

    Stop Winging It and Start with the End in Mind
