The Collision Point

Welcome to The Collision Point — the podcast about ambition and motherhood, and what happens when the two collide. Your host, Ashley, is a former corporate COO turned two-time founder, and she’s living this collision right alongside you. For years, Ashley built her career using the only playbook she knew: work harder, produce more, push through, and keep going until it works. And for a long time, it did. Until she became a mother and suddenly, the playbook that had built her success stopped working overnight. She didn’t have the language for it then. She called it burnout. She pushed harder. Until eventually, her body made the decision for her. Now, Ashley sees the collision differently. Because ambition doesn’t disappear when you become a mother. But the way you pursue it might have to change. The Collision Point is a space for the judgment, the burnout, the identity shifts, the days that fall apart despite your perfectly planned schedule, and the uncomfortable moments when the life you’re building no longer fits the way you’ve been building it. Because collisions don’t get solved once and disappear. But they can become fewer, less costly, and less invisible when you stop trying to operate exactly like you did before. This is about building careers, businesses, and lives that make room for your real life to happen, not ones that break every time it does. If you’re ambitious, you’re a mother, or you’re somewhere in the collision between the two, you’re in the right place.
