    49. How to Stop Saying You're Fine and Speak TF Up!

    On one hand, someone asks how you’re doing, you say: “Fine.”  Or your partner has been treating you like their personal merry maid services. And you have been silently raging for weeks, but when they ask if something’s wrong… you say, “I’m fine.”  On another hand, someone comes for a member of your team and like a mama bear protecting your cubs in the wild, you push them behind you and go to war.  Why?  How come you’ve been able to defend, protect and fight for other people, but not yourself?  In this episode I answer that question plus:  How to stop saying “I’m fine” and start speaking your truth.  A breakdown of my Showrunner method that I take coaching clients through that emboldens them to self-advocate and lead with power. If you have any questions about what I shared, feel free to DM me over on IG:⁠ @ashleymorganlive⁠ I currently have 3 spots open in MORPH, my 6 month 1:1 leadership development coaching program for purpose-driven women who want to shed good girl conditioning and lead with MORE power.

    46. How I say "no" with zero guilt.

    Them: “Are you volunteering for the book drive again this year?” You: “No.” Them: “Oh, why not?” You: “I don’t want to.” **** crickets. awkward silence**** Could you calmly and confidently have this conversation with someone without:  Feeling an ounce of guilt trickle down your spine? Feeling dread drop into the pit of your belly?  Feeling tingly sensations flitter in your fingers? Yes! Stop reading. Congratulations 🎉🥳👏 You’ve beat out 70% of women who feel like they’ve robbed a granny or kicked a puppy when they simply say, “nope… won’t be doing that.” If you’re like the rest of us… well (former Ashley) I designed a new program just for you called the Obligation Detox.  It’s all the learnings I needed when I was volunteering in five church departments, working full time, going to school full time and being a wife, daughter, sister… well just all the things. AKA being the textbook over-giving, over-functioning, over-committed woman. Read the deets here.  Q’s about the program? DM me on the Gram here.  xx, Ashley

    [LIFE] 45. I didn’t hit any of my career goals in 2023. Here’s why I’m still giving myself a gold medal + How I’m setting the tone for 2024

    About 6 weeks ago, I got on a call with my therapist and he said, “You look like you ate a string of Christmas lights. You’re glowing from the inside out.”  I offered him a grin and teared up, because I felt it.  Like oil on a hot stove crackling as it gets hotter and hotter, I’d been feeling it. Like the pilot light on a furnace gets sparked — it felt like I my energy had been reignited.  I was nourished. Fat. Like the chubby, squishy thighs of a baby feeding on liquid gold.  Rested. Clear. Grounded.  They weren’t just nice words, they were embodied wisdom.  After collapsing into 2023 and first fighting my bodies call to rest then giving in and honoring it — I was feeling like myself again.   Better really.  4-5 months before this moment I was crying for a different reason.  The guilt I felt over stepping back from relationships and commitments. Hasty imperfect asks for space. The wash of disappointment constantly flooding my body since I had spent the entire year doing the bare minimum.  And he told me this:  “Ashley, it’s a good thing that there isn’t enough of you to go around.”  He added:  “You did what there was to do. If a car is running out of gas, you don’t floor it and  force it to push through. It’ll eventually stop. You pull over to a gas station and refill it. Just like that car, you pulled over. The people who love you and genuinely care for you will be happy to see you well.”  I exhaled and have kept exhaling.  Which brings me to my point:  I didn’t hit any of my career goals in 2023.  And still…  I left the year feeling mentally and emotionally stronger, energetically lighter, my vision is more clear, my creative expression is more free, I feel like I actually have the bandwidth and capacity to go out and re-engage the world.  In this episode I’m sharing:  A permission slip for rest and an urging to answer the call for slowness.  Why I don’t believe in New Year Resolutions And the 3 guideposts I’m leaning on as I set the tone for 2024.  If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe, leave a review, share with a friend or to your Instagram stories and tag me.  Come say hello on IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  If you’re at a career crossroads and desire to make a change, DM me ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for details on my 1:1 coaching container.

    [LIFE] E44. What's Wrong With Me? Why Can't I Just Be Happy With What I have?

    Have you ever felt the nagging feeling that you were just built different? Like maybe real fulfillment or contentment with life would forever be playing a game of hide-n-seek with you?

    [CAREER] E43. Where to start when you finally want to put your quality of life ahead of your career.

    From the time you were a tiny-tot, you’ve been trained — see also indoctrinated — to make work/career/ job the main thing Leaving the the rest of your life to play side-chick.  You were taught to make your career the fancy centerpiece of the dining room table that is your life— but you’ve realized it’s not working for you.  Career is no longer king — That’s the old model.  You don’t just want to look “impressive” you want to feel/be fulfilled w/o compromising pay or power.  The new model says— work matters and it’s also only one small part of who you are, how you live and how you express yourself in the world.  You’ll still have big impact and make the money you wanna make— just not at the expense of being a whole ass human.  That’s a price you aren’t willing to pay anymore.  So where do you start? How do you begin designing a career where your life comes first? That's what we're covering in today's episode. Want me in your back pocket as you create this transformation in your own life? DM me “MORPH” and get to on building your life-first career.  In my world, your quality of life is the main thing.  You can do it w/o sacrificing your six-figure income or director title (I didn’t give up mine). In my 1:1 coaching, you untangle the mental mess of “what do I really want next from work.”  I don’t ask you to trash your ambition or stop giving AF about your team, but you do raise the standards for your own personal fulfillment and well-being.  Come say hello or drop any questions about the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Enjoying the party?

    [LEADERSHIP] E42. A Sermon on Giving Yourself the Credit You are DUE!

    “Maybe I just got lucky?”  “Maybe it was my connections?”  “Maybe it was just a coincidence?”  “Maybe they didn’t have a better option?” Nah, boo – you did that.  Own that sh*t.  The above were lies I was believing when I was in self-protect mode after a toxic AF workplace experience left my confidence in the toilet.  These useless thoughts kept me stuck in career purgatory making $14/hr when I had 6-figure skills.  We go to church in this podcast ep. I intend for you to leave the episode OWNING your results and giving yourself boatloads of credit for every damn thing you’ve done.  That’s the HOW of building rock solid self belief.  In the episode, I share: A story I’ve never put anywhere on the interwebs, all about how I was unqualified for a promotion and raised my hand anyway. And things outside my control made it so that I was still the best choice.  Why happy accidents are a part of the success journey and not enough people are being honest about it.  A riff on gratitude… plus much more.  PS…  Enrollment is open for the Anti-Confidence Clinic.  A 6 week program where you learn how to stop the doubt spiral, clear fear and take powerful action everyday. What would it feel like for taking action in life and work felt as easy as making your morning cup of coffee?  No mental boxing match with doubt. No worrying about whether or not you'll fail. No stressing about what other people will think. Just moving forward.  You’re about to find out. ⁠⁠JOIN HERE.⁠⁠ Come say hello or drop any questions about the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  DM me ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for details on my 6 to 9 month coaching containers.
