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.

    E206 -Is It Anxiety or Intuition? Astrology + Worldly Predictions With a 5th Generation Psychic

    Ashlyn sits down with 5th-generation psychic medium and consciousness guide Dallisa Hocking for a conversation that flips everything you thought you knew about intuition on its head. Dallisa is here to teach you how to trust yourself—like, actually trust yourself. She breaks down what it means to build “inner literacy,” how your thoughts, beliefs, and mental imagery shape your reality, and why the goal isn’t to look outside for answers but to learn how to access them from within. Together, Ashlyn and Dallisa dive into how to develop intuition as a real, practical skill, not some mystical gift reserved for a select few. They talk self-awareness, discernment, and how to stop second-guessing your gut so you can start making aligned, confident decisions in your life. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure, or like you’re constantly looking for validation outside of yourself, this episode is your wake-up call.

    E205 - Fat Loss Blueprint: The Exact Plan I’d Follow to Get Shredded

    In this episode, Ashlyn is breaking down the exact fat loss blueprint she would follow if she had a deadline and zero room for excuses. No fluff. No “it depends.” Just the strategies that actually move the needle when the goal is to get lean, tight, and shredded. Because here’s the truth: Most people are training and eating on vibes… and then wondering why their body isn’t changing. This episode is your wake-up call—and your plan. Inside, you will find: • How to actually create a calorie deficit • Why protein is the anchor of your diet-and how to structure it properly • How to use carbs strategically to fuel performance and fat loss • The role of fats in hormone health (and why they don’t make you fat) • The difference between weight loss vs. fat loss… and why it matters • How to choose a nutrition method you’ll actually stick to • Why “optimal” looks different than “just getting by” • The training approach that helps you keep muscle while getting lean • How to use steps, cardio, and movement to your advantage This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being intentional, structured, and honest about what it takes to create real change. Because yes, you can walk to your goals… But if you want to get there faster, it’s time to stop guessing and start executing. And if you’re ready to take this blueprint and have it fully mapped out for you..

    E204 -From Everest to the Ends of The Earth: 35,000KM of Lessons Learned

    Ashlyn is sitting down with legendary explorer and world-record expedition leader Martyn Williams for a conversation that will seriously expand the way you think about fear, resilience, and what human beings are truly capable of. Martyn is the first person in history to lead expeditions to the three great extremes of the planet — Everest, the North Pole, and the South Pole. He also helped cross Antarctica under human power, founded the first airline operating on the continent, and has spent decades leading record-breaking expeditions across some of the most unforgiving places on Earth. But this episode isn’t just about ice, mountains, and survival. Ashlyn and Martyn dive into the mindset behind facing the unknown. They talk about how to move through fear instead of letting it stop you, how adversity can become your greatest teacher, and what it really means to unlock your ultimate human potential. From extreme exploration to enlightened living, Martyn shares the tools and philosophies that have allowed him to live a life driven by curiosity, courage, and creativity.

    E201 - IS MY MARRIAGE IN CRISIS? The 5 Stages of Divorce with Dr. Becky Whetstone

    Ashlyn sits down with renowned therapist, relationship expert, and author of I Think I Want Out, Dr. Becky Whetstone, often called “America’s marriage crisis manager”, for a timely and deeply honest conversation about what really happens when relationships hit the breaking point. This episode dives straight into the messy middle that so many couples find themselves in but few people talk about openly. Dr. Becky breaks down the true stages of divorce, how to know when a relationship can be repaired versus when it’s time to call it, and why becoming a reasonable, emotionally grounded partner matters more than most people realize. Ashlyn and Dr. Becky also explore the realities of co-parenting, the modern dating landscape after separation, and what couples should consider before walking away for good. It’s compassionate, clear-eyed, and refreshingly free of fairy-tale fluff. If you’re navigating relationship uncertainty, or want the tools to build something stronger and more honest, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Merriman is a mom, wife, business owner, life-long learner, and lover of all things words.

    E200 – Hot Takes + Controversial Truths

    Episode 200 is here and Ashlyn is not holding back. In this milestone episode, she literally hands her phone over to Daija and lets her scroll through everything in her Notes app. No filter, no edits, no safe answers. Just uncut thoughts that have been shaping her life behind the scenes. What follows is a powerful deep dive into the harsh truths Ashlyn has written to herself about discipline, relationships, coaching, business, boundaries, and personal growth. Daija reads the notes out loud, asking the hard questions, unpacking the meaning behind them, and calling Ashlyn forward into her highest self in real time. This conversation is equal parts tough love, emotional reckoning, and fire under your ass. They talk about what it really takes to build meaningful relationships, how to stop self-sabotage, and how to align your daily habits with the life you actually want and not the one you keep accidentally settling for. If you’ve ever needed a wake-up call, a permission slip, or a reminder that you are capable of more than you think, this episode is for you. -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Merriman is a mom, wife, business owner, life-long learner, and lover of all things words.
