    How I Became My Own Boss - Influencing, Podcasts, Working for Myself

    4 years ago, I almost quit podcasting because I felt like I was wasting my time and no one was listening. Two weeks later, I had an idea to promote my podcast on TikTok, and that one video completely changed everything. I went from 200 listens per week to charting number 1 in podcasts on Spotify and Apple.  In this episode, I’m taking you guys behind the scenes of how I went from working a job I didn’t love to quitting, becoming my own boss, starting Trying Not to Care, and eventually turning social media and podcasting into my full-time job. I’m talking about the mistakes I made, what I wish I knew sooner, how I started making money as a creator, and what actually helped me grow. If you’ve ever thought about starting a podcast, growing on social media, or trying to turn something you love into a career, this episode is is filled with some advice that I wish someone had told me when I was starting out. 🎙️✨📸 Trying Not to Care is sponsored by Arya - Get $10 off your first month at getarya.com/TNTC Trying Not to Care is sponsored by Warby Parker - Our listeners can buy one pair of glasses and get 20% off any additional pairs at WarbyParker.com/TNTC — and using our link helps support the show. #WarbyParker #ad KEEP UP WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: Ashley's Instagram | Trying Not to Care InstagramTikTok: Ashley's TikTok | Trying Not to Care TikTokYoutube: Subscribe hereAmazon Storefront and more: LTXWANT TO ASK ME QUESTIONS?

    Friendship Red Flags You Need to Stop Ignoring

    Friendship breakups can be just as painful as romantic ones (sometimes even more painful.) We're taught to look out for the red flags in relationships, but we don't talk nearly enough about the red flags that show up in unhealthy friendships. In this episode, I'm breaking down four types of friends you should look out for..1. the friend who resents your growth2. the friend who turns everything into a competition3. the friend who constantly talks badly about their other friends4. the friendship "love bomber" Whether you're navigating friendship struggles in your 20s, healing from a friendship breakup, or learning how to build healthier relationships, this episode will hopefully help you recognize toxic patterns in friendship. If you've ever questioned whether a friendship is helping you grow or holding you back, this episode is for you. ❤️‍🩹 Trying Not to Care is sponsored by Betterhelp - Sign up and get 10% off at BetterHelp.com/TNTC KEEP UP WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: Ashley's Instagram | Trying Not to Care InstagramTikTok: Ashley's TikTok | Trying Not to Care TikTokYoutube: Subscribe hereAmazon Storefront and more: LTXWANT TO ASK ME QUESTIONS?
