    We're Not Going To Keep Pretending

    We're not doing it anymore......we're not pretending. In this unhinged and unfiltered episode, we're saying the quiet parts out loud, the little white lies we tell ourselves to get through the day and the things women have been acting like we enjoy for far too long. From "I'm fine" (when we're absolutely not) to the social norms we've all just accepted without question.....yeah, we're calling it ALL out. This one is equal parts silly, painfully honest, and just uncomfortable enough to make you feel seen. If you've ever smiled through something you hated, convinced yourself of something that wasn't true, or gone along with something just because "that's what we do", this episode is for you!  If you've ever wanted to say this out loud but kept it to yourself because you're a sweet, respectful woman.....same Pull up a chair. You always have a seat at our table! Love, Ash & Chess

    Integration & Permission

    What does it actually look like to grow… and then live in that growth? In this episode, we’re talking about choosing alignment over approval, even when it costs you something. Because sometimes growth means losing people, old versions of yourself, and the comfort of being who everyone else expects you to be. And the truth? The right people stay. We open up about what it feels like when others notice your change and how your peace can make others uncomfortable when they’ve only known your chaos. We talk about giving yourself permission to grow (yes, consider this your official permission slip), and also holding space for the reality that it’s okay to not be okay in the process. We also get real about social media pressure, comparison, and why protecting your peace might look like hitting unfollow. Plus, we’re simplifying life in small ways, from baking bread to letting go of unrealistic expectations. And because it’s us… there’s a moment about very white ankles that you won’t want to miss.  This episode is vulnerable, honest, and a reflection on everything we’ve learned about ourselves as we wrap up month two of this podcast journey. Remember, you always have a seat at our table!  Love, Ash and Chess

    The Uncomfortable Side of Becoming

    This week on Did She Just Say That?, we’re talking about the kind of growth that doesn’t feel inspiring — it feels uncomfortable. Becoming often looks like stretching, shedding, grieving old versions of yourself, and questioning everything. Why can growth sometimes feel like loss? We unpack what happens when you start evolving — setting boundaries, saying no, choosing peace over chaos — and realizing not everyone will be comfortable with the new version of you. Discomfort doesn’t mean you’re failing. It may just mean you’re rewiring. In this episode, we explore the questions that come with growth: What am I afraid to release? Who am I becoming that scares me? And how to embrace the next level of who you’re becoming. And remember....You always have a seat at our table. Love Ash & Chess

    Clearing Out the Mental Clutter

    This week we're talking about something most of us carry around without even realizing it-the clutter in our minds. Not a "new year, new me" conversation.....but to clear out what doesn't belong anymore. Old lies. Repetitive thought. Past labels that we've already outgrown but somehow still believe. We talk about where these core lies come from, trauma, failures, rejection, grief, divorce and how they quietly shape the way we see ourselves and our lives. At some point you have to ask yourself: am I a prisoner to my own mind? In this episode we unpack:  How to recognize the lies we've normalized Why decluttering your mind is necessary for growth How to work through the lies once you identify themThe power of letting trusted people speak truth into your lifeBecause freedom starts when the lies lose their place in your head. Also....Somehow Forrest Gump makes another appearance. Pull up a chair and join the conversation…..you always have a seat at our table! Love, Ash & Chess

    Becoming the Person You Are Meant to Be!

    What if you were never "too much"...just in spaces that were too small? In this episode, we dive deep into identity the labels we picked up, the roles we performed, and the versions of ourselves we created to survive. We talk about what it means to stop mowing over behaviors and finally pull up the roots. Because becoming isn't about reinventing yourself. It's about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be. We unpack what it looks like to outgrow old identities, release survival roles like the fixer or the peacekeeper, and face the uncomfortable but peaceful feeling of growth. You're not becoming someone new. You're becoming someone true. And, you always have a seat at our table. Love, Ash & Chess

    We Heard You!

    This episode was shaped by feedback from you and most of it came from men. You asked us to go deeper on boundaries and the pressure women sometimes place on you. So we did. We unpack healthy vs. unhealthy boundaries and why healthy boundaries protect your peace instead of controlling others. They regulate, not retaliate. And they don't damage healthy relationships they expose unhealthy ones. We also talk honestly about the expectations men often carry, the pressure to provide, to perform, to lead and the weight of "potential." This conversation isn't about blame. It's about awareness, growth, and doing relationships better.  Men- we heard you. And ladies....this one might stretch us a little. And remember....You always have a seat at our table. Love Ash & Chess

    Friendships Hit Different as an Adult

    Friendship when you're younger? Effortless, spontaneous, built on proximity. Friendship as an adult? Calendars, boundaries, therapy terms...and still a little chaos. In this episode, we rewind to our first impressions of each other and talk about how friendship actually changes as you grow- and into yourself. We get into: Why adult friendships feel deeper (and sometimes harder)Friends in different seasons of lifeOutgrowing friendships without turning into villainsLong-distance friendships and what really keeps them aliveRed flags and green flags in friendshipsAnd how we handle conflict without burning the whole thing downAnd of course, we wrapped it up with a game of "Who's Who?" calling out which friend we each are...and let's just say, there were no lies told. Whether you're the planner, the peacemaker, the blunt one, or the "I'll text back in three business days" friend....there's room for you here. Because around here, you always have a seat at our table! Love, Ash & Chess

    Self-Care and Self-Love
