Empowered Empaths Ashley Jones

Trigger Warning:

Mention of Suicide 

What it is + sharing my story of it. Extremely vulnerable.

Try to keep the episode as light as I can. Feel like with childhood trauma and inner child healing, both go hand in hand. Feel like there’s a lot of boxing in of what childhood trauma is; not allowed to use certain words; want to fully disclose that I’m no means a psychologist or therapist on any level. This is my own experience, own personal research, books I’ve studied and read. Enlightenment I want to share with you on my situation. Listen in today's episode where we break down what childhood trauma and shock is, how it can lead to long term consequences and how to begin your healing.  

What is it? It’s a situation, person or event that took place during your childhood that negatively affected you emotionally or psychologically. Shook you to the core, stuck with you for life. Embedded into your subconscious.

Subconscious level of the brain deals with information; takes on your worth and value. Lets you understand who you are; those beliefs don’t necessarily come from yourself. Thankfully the subconscious mind can be rewired. You can question the old paradigms, remove them, and replace them with new beliefs.

Overview//Main Points:

This is Year I told myself, I would feel good. If it didn’t align - it didn’t belong. Won’t take anything less than what I deserve. This is the year, I’m going to take action and follow what I believe. Ways to raise your frequency - not giving anymore fucks. Join me on this episode as we go through ways that will not only raise our vibrational frequency immediately, but also aid in our daily alignment. In doing this we send signals to the universe and the universe responds by matching our output of frequency allowing us to manifest our goals.


First way - binaural beats

Music that carry 2 dif frequencies. Line up into one. Target 2 dif brainwaves; able to focus better, more meditative state. Use it in 1:1 mentoring. So beneficial. Works with you on a subconscious level of your brain. Able to relax more. Keeps you in the present moment.


Second - high vibrational foods.

Underestimated. Have struggled with ED since I can remember. Remember going to restaurant at 4 years old; eat 6-7x a day; grandparents anniversary, remember eating on an adult plate and remember the waitress wanting to charge me for an adult because I ate too much. Works on a subconscious level. The subconscious is most impacted from the age of newborn to 6 years old. Most of my life I’ve been overweight, curvaceous, go hiking, active - like most people I enjoy sugary and salty foods. Have gotten better over the years. Food does impact you on a vibrational level. Not just about the nutrition, it does match and bring up your frequency if you allow it to. Just remember from such a young age, people have always been critiquing what and how I eat. If you allow it into your subconscious mind, it will continue. Thankfully you can work with your subconscious mind, you can challenge those beliefs and you can rewire the hardwiring of the brain.


Third- prone to junk and carbs

We’re prone to wanting to eat more sugar and carbs but we experience crashes. It’s fake. These foods affect your chakras. If you’re eating it, your chakras are like “what the fuck is this?” A lot of the times we look at the nutritional side of things instead of how food makes us feel. Even if it’s considered a junk food, it can still raise your vibration. For me, my favorite food is sushi - because it takes me there. It makes me feel good and releases happy, healthy hormones.


Fourth be intentional with what you consume

Not just consuming food - tv, books, who you surround yourself with.I watch a lot of documentaries, feel good movies, happy, funny.Horror movies can be depressive. Growing up, I thought showing all those emotions made me too vulnerable.Books, music - all true crime books? Growing up, would be all of that - nothing that raised my level, taught me to self-reflect, etc. The music I listened to in HS was angry, abusive, etc. didn’t listen to anything about feeling good. Couldn’t figure out why I was depressed. They didn’t help raise my frequency in any way; if anything they lowered it.


Fifth- Who are your people

We are here to talk about who you hang out with as well; this is the year that I really f*****g chose not to accept anything in my 6-feet space without it aligning properly with me. Cannot stress this enough for you. In the last 2 years, we’ve been in a global pandemic. It makes you question what your top priorities are in life and how much you are valued as an individual. I wouldn’t stand for less. Don’t let anyone or anything influence you on how you view yourself. This is the generation, the awakening of conscious people on a collective level. We’re not lazy, we just don’t want to put up with your shit anymore. Walked out of my job due to sexual harassment, and discrimination. Who is in your six-foot perimeter?

Overview//Main Points:

This episode is all about tips and advice on how you can make your sleep work for you instead of against you as an Empath and Highly Sensitive Person, join me as we dive deep into understanding why sleep is the way it is for us and how we can make it work in our favor. 

Recently moved into girlfriend with my son Leviathan and her mom. Enjoying ourselves, relationship has been taking off and going great. Everything outside of relationship has been horrible.

This year has taught me to continue to step into my power, be fully authentic and express myself while taking other people’s opinions and trying not to tell them to shove it up their ass, and take it with a grain of salt.

Important for those of us who are on the more sensitive side of things; not everyone understands how to work with our sleep and how to help us get to sleep.

If I was to sit here and say to you, “Oh my gosh, it was the most amazing 6 years of my life!” I’d be lying through my teeth. - Alicia



We’re not meant to just grind all the time. It’s different doing the grind for what we love vs. the grind for someone who’s calling the shots for us. - Ashley

Overview//Main Points:

*WARNING MENTION OF MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE IN THE WORKPLACE*

Background for me with working - have been all over the place, working most of my life in retail or customer service. First started off working with special needs and as a babysitter, these people tended to be HSP.

Then worked a lot with the public.

Maple Syrup Conservation areas - loved it. If could have made it into a FT position, would have stayed here. Expressed creativity and out in nature.

As I got older, worked in clothing retail - liked it. Fun.

Went to school for esthetics and funeral services. - talk about narcissism at its finest. Toxic work environment.

Not sure how much detail I’ll go through; tough topic to talk through. Worked up north in a small funeral home; a lot of legislative and rule breaking. Toxic work environment. A lot of theft going on. Wrongdoing on the behalf of the deceased. Hard to be in this environment. Had to walk away because how do you stay in a work environment when you’re literally there to make sure this person is being honored and things are being done that’s harmful. What I was being taught in an internship.

I used to go into the workplace and didn’t really know that I was an empath and HSP. used to be called fat and stupid all the time. Just really bad. Verbally abused. Went to the funeral service board and nothing was done - no investigation, nothing. Got so much worse - beyond the stealing and name calling. Got physically worse. Ended up having to walk away.

Overview//Main Points:

Plants are absolutely amazing. Nature just wows me everyday. Looking up at the stars in the sky and admiring them. Different shapes, lit on fire, sparking up in the sky.

Brought back to reality, reminding myself life isn’t as bad as it seems when I’m out in nature.

Gifted in this world with plant medicine. Written documents have been around for at least 5000 years. We are gifted these plants everywhere we go in life - cooking in kitchen, in the garden, healing something.

The one thing you have to understand is they're an extension of us. It’s something fierce.

It nourishes our body - physical, mental, emotional.

Taps into our core energy system.

It’s a forever cycle.
