NATURE LOVER | FREEDOM SEEKER
Creating a sustainable lifestyle
Health | Wellness | Adventure | Biz Welcome! My name is Ashley! I did it. So can you. Ask me how !

I'm a nurse by trade, and a digital creator building the life I've always dreamt for myself. That means health, travel, and feeling connected with nature are all apart of my journey. It's about a healthy balance and being able to take care of yourself. I spent years burnt out in the health care profession, and decided enough was enough. I started my OWN online business to help others create abundance and take care of their mind, body and soul!

03/01/2024

the end of 2023..

• D E C E M B E R •

A month of balance between long hours of hard work, self care and fun.

Did the year end how I intended it to? No. But that’s okay.

Reflection is your biggest tool when it comes to closing a chapter and moving on.

Allowing yourself to be ok with unaccomplished goals, unexpected lessons learned and the detours life has in store - we’re all human after all. S**t happens.

The pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect and have all our boxes ticked off by the end of the year can be overwhelming.

Remind yourself the last 365 days brought you to this present moment.

Allow space for what was, and prepare for what’s to come.

A new year brings opportunity.

Reflect. Learn. Grow. Move forward.

👀 The next chapter of your life is waiting for you…

______________________

If you’re needing to reflect on 2023, here are some journal prompts to try;

• who was I a year ago?
• what did 2023 actually bring me?
• in 2023… (brain dump)
• what was the biggest moment of 2023?
• what did I learn from 2023?
• what am I thankful for in 2023? write as “thank you statements”
• what was my hardest moment of 2023?
• what was the best moment of 2023?
• who have I been the closest to in 2023?
• what am I releasing from 2023?

Thankful is an understatement✨

A reminder to create your life, don’t settle for it.

09/10/2023

Time waits for no one…

I’ll say it again,

You will never have the time.
Time is not created,
It’s found.

You FIND the time to
✨chase your dreams
✨accomplish your goals
✨fuel your passions
✨live a fulfilling life

02/10/2023

✨Are you really living?

Hard truth; we are only guests on this planet, and you’ll never be this age again 🤷🏼‍♀️🌎

Experience everything you can while you’re still alive because we aren’t guaranteed tomorrow.

Book that trip. Try something new. Laugh until you cry. Spontaneous adventures and nights out.

The world is your oyster.

………
Oh and don’t be afraid to be your authentic weird self 😎🔥

Adventure: food for the soul ✨

& little reminder to let your inner child run wild🦋☀️

07/07/2023

Lean into fear instead of running from it…

Your comfort zone is NOT your friend.

Learning something new isn’t supposed to be easy. No one ever became a master at something without a little failure.

I think living within comfort is terrifying, but we’re all guilty of it because it’s comfortable.. it’s safe.

If you’re ever going to reach your dreams, do you think choosing the safe and comfortable option will get you there?

Take a risk & try something new.
Chase fear & grow into your true potential.

You won’t regret it!

02/07/2023

What’s an adventure without a few detours..

You can spend eternity planning every single detail but in reality, hiccups happen.

Nothing is perfect, no matter how hard we try.

I like to think this season of my life has been like an extended detour 😂

A few bumps in the road but as cliche as this sounds, it’s all part of the journey.

Keep an eye on your goals and dreams & never stop until you achieve them, even when things go in a completely opposite direction 😂. But always remember to give yourself grace.

Enjoy the journey & enjoy the ride.

Buckle up because the next half of 2023 is certainly going to be a wild one.

May brought the Magic 🥂

These memories will last a lifetime. So much appreciation for all the intricate details of nature and my surroundings. Your environment has such an impact on your life 🌸

Family, a bachelorette, new adventures, new scenery… so much to be thankful for.

Keep your dreams alive friends 🤍

•• Your intuition is trying to tell you something ••

Ever notice you glow differently when your soul is happy?

Each day feels effortless.

Less stress. Less fatigue.

Imagine living in such a flow state that you feel an abundance of peace.

If you haven’t noticed, my soul craves the ocean. And quite frankly any experience outdoors.

After a year of intentional work, listening to my intuition, taking the actions steps to build a life I don’t need a vacation from…. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Choosing to live for the experience instead of living for retirement has been the best journey thus far.

If you’re feeling unsettled, stuck, craving change… listen to it.

An amazing journey awaits you..

Don’t take yourself so seriously..

Laughter is the best medicine after all 😎

Willing to share a funny moment/ story below so we can all have a good chuckle? 😂⬇️

02/04/2023

Do it for you..

A year ago today started a year FULL of adventure, joy, fulfillment, love, new experiences & new friendships 🤍

A brand new chapter leaving behind old patterns & relationships that no longer served me.

Finally making myself and my dreams a priority. 😇

I had NO idea what to except - leaving behind everything I knew for 25 years was scary, but the idea of staying where I was scared me more.

Moving across the country has been one* of the best decisions I’ve made in my life thus far.

Constantly evolving as a human each day spent on the west coast. Knowing there’s even more to explore, more to experience fills me with SO much joy.

Take the leap & make your dreams a priority because no one else will.

It’s scary to learn anything new, but is it better to feel scared, doing something that will benefit you later on? Or would you rather be filled with regret seeing where you could have been?

You have one life on this planet….

…do it for you

take action & move through the fear of being uncomfortable

there is always a light at the end of the tunnel

>> When fear creeps in, remember your why…

Deep down you know what you want.

It can be a feeling that pulls you in a direction that feels scary and uncomfortable..

Then you second guess if you’re making the right decision because you can’t help but wonder what people may think, or how this will affect your situation..

Even though you know what you need to do to move forward, to grow, to change your life..

Fear is a funny thing. It has a way of pausing your goals and dreams to live a life authentic to you.

If you sit back and remember WHY this is a decision you want to make, opinions of others & the outcome of change doesn’t matter.

At the end of the day, as long as you are happy where you are at, that’s all you can ask for.

Recently a situation happened where I reflected on my why. Instead of ruminating in the feelings of fear and doubt, I started going through photos from my travels this past year & came across this from my business trip to Costa Rica.

Remembering the power I felt in CR and envisioning the future I’m building for myself is exactly what I needed in that moment.

So cheers to pushing past fear and doing everything that scares you anyways!

At the end of the day, nothing changes if nothing changes.

Ash 🤍

It’s easy to get lost behind a screen these days…

Spending time in nature can naturally refuel your brain with happy + feel good receptors.

Even on a gloomy day, the serotonin boost was real 😇🌿

Have you been out to explore your surroundings lately?
🌿 for Yes

Entrepreneurship is a different life..

I’ve spent the last 12 months navigating the business world and becoming an entrepreneur.

Learning any new skill has its challenges. For me, this past year was about learning and understanding entrepreneurship - which I never imagined myself doing 🤯, and also learning more about myself as time went on.

The last two years I’ve prioritized myself - figuring out who I truly am, what my wants and needs are, and chasing dreams I never thought I had. Spending the last year specifically working on my mindset was necessary to lead me to where I am now. Not to mention having a rock solid support system to celebrate every small win along the way.

Finding that power in yourself that each of us hold, is an experience alone. When you embody that unapologetic version of yourself, you become unstoppable.

Your dreams truly are limitless. And let this be your reminder that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

Consistency.
Drive.
Clarity.
Watch what you can create.

Time to get back to the grind 🏥..

I had a month off from nursing and now I’m back!

Since returning from Costa Rica, I was able to experience the time freedom that I’m building.

Waking up without an alarm, having a slow start to my day, having the ability to choose what I want my day to look like - everyday.

Financially, I still work hours for dollars. As much as I enjoyed the time away from nursing, it was a mental battle.

What’s changed the most for me this past year is my view towards the job.. I know what’s building for me in the background.. and it won’t be my forever.

Catch me back in scrubs for the next few weeks exploring somewhere new 🔥✌🏻

Curious about business?

💻📲

I am in affiliate marketing for health and wellness products.

What is affiliate marketing?

It is the process of earning commission by promoting products from other businesses.

What I do!

I partnered with a high ticket company that pays out high commissions. This is a commission based direct sales system.

High ticket products = high commission.

Difference between an MLM!

An MLM is a low ticket company, therefore the commission is much lower. Often times in MLMs, you’re required to have a team to help you rank up - the commission rarely reaches over 1k.

Although you can be successful with this business without a team, it ultimately helps you build passive income down the road.

This business is here to make a change in health and wellness while allowing people to build their dream lives due to the patented commission plan!

💰Legacy funds baby!

I invested in myself and this opportunity when I realized it can solve two of my biggest stressors, my health and finances.

How?

AUTOMATION!
It allows you to enjoy living while your business works in the background for you!

You have access to an entire platform that teaches you how to utilize automation and ads.

💡Work smarter not harder!

No cold messaging
No asking friends/ family for purchases
Not having to work hours for dollars for a paycheque

Ultimately creating more time to focus on you and spend time doing what you love.
- travel, family, adventures, you name it.

Ask yourself this!

Are you always counting the days till Friday?
Do you trade time for money?
Do you have control over your schedule?
Are living paycheque to paycheque?

I can help you build your dream life!
Where you have full control of your finances and schedule.

By giving you the step by step training, you can, and will be successful!

Become your own boss and create legacy funds for yourself and your future!

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase…

“When you focus on you, you grow. When you focus on s**t, s**t grows”

If anything this year has taught me is that focusing on yourself isn’t selfish.

It helps guide you towards knowing your worth and healing toxic traits you adopted just to survive.

Learning to let go of the s**t and negativity in your life leaves room for you to flourish into your authentic self.

Your the only one holding yourself back.

Are you ready to show 2023 who’s boss?

Surfing is EXHILARATING

———

While spending a week in Costa Rica on a business retreat, getting to meet community members in person, we focused on wellness and learning to overcome individual challenges within ourselves.

For me, one of these challenges was surfing 🏄‍♀️

I was anticipating how my body would react to the force of the ocean and the sport itself.

Having a connective tissue disorder has made physical activity challenging in the past.

For years now, I’ve focused more on taking care of myself and my body. I’ve built a tool kit of tips and tricks to help keep my body moving with less pain.

I was scared of surfing because I anticipated the pain I’ve felt before from strenuous activity.

I stopped to acknowledge how much work I’ve put into my physical strength and stability to get me here.

Overall yes,

My shoulder was affected after surfing, but it wasn’t anything I wasn’t prepared for. I already knew how to deal with it.

Using pieces from my tool kit calmed any anxiety surrounding the pain.

💪🏼
When you invest in yourself and learn what works for you, you can continue to chase what lights your soul on fire.

You can continue challenging yourself, physically and mentally in ways you wouldn’t have before.

I challenged a limiting thought about my body and checked surfing off my bucket list.

I was quickly humbled,
But I can say I DID IT😎🏄‍♀️

I’m thankful for the week spent in Costa Rica to deep dive into what’s important to me and be able to use that fire towards my business.

Challenge yourself a little bit each day and see where that will take you

🥂

Reignite the fire in you

When you spend time in survival mode, you lose a sense of yourself, what you want and the direction you want to take.

Wether you’re questioning every detail or feeling numb to the experiences of life..

Your identity and sense of self is diminished by literally trying to survive. Your focus is blurred and essentially you feel stuck.

Stuck in finances
Stuck in relationships
Stuck in environments
Stuck in direction

Learning how to be present in each moment reignites the fire in you. You become aware of the direction to go in and what exactly it is that you want, ultimately setting yourself free of limitations.

Finding yourself again, outside of survival mode will realign you with your focus.

Stay present
Stay focused
What you want is in reach

🔥🔥🔥
Once you reignite that fire, you become unstoppable.

The sunshine and sand beneath my feet is exactly what I needed to feel present in my body again and allow me to reconnect with myself.

The feeling of excitement for this next phase is an understatement.

Cheers to building freedom🥂

12/11/2022

It's time for another trip!

Any guesses where I'm headed this time?

02/11/2022

• Focus on your own journey •

You are exactly where you need to be at this moment in time.

Be proud of where you are and what you’ve accomplished.

The you 5 years ago would be celebrating.

Stay present.

Notice what isn’t working for you and make a change.

You’re never stuck! I promise you that.

You’re on this earth for an unpredictable amount of time,

Make the most of it.

do you prefer a cheese or chocolate fondue?

I've been a lover of travel since as long as I can remember...

📍 Versaille, France

04/10/2022

••• reminiscing •••

Circa 2017

Took the traditional path;
🏥 Graduated college
🚗 Bought a new car
👩‍⚕️ Worked my ass off as a nurse
💃🏼 Tried to balance a work/ social life
✈️ Travelled to Europe and Cuba

^ little did I know that was going to be my last “vacation” for 5+ years.

Working for a living is no joke.
Having to work countless hours of over time just to make ends meet is NOT fun.

Say goodbye to any social life 👏🏼
I spent many days sleeping instead of living.

My mental and physical health took a deep dive into the darkness 😅

But lately, I’ve felt the adventure bug creeping up again🪲

🔥Freedom and adventure light my soul on fire.

I’ve been blessed to have had such an adventure packed year thus far, and there are still 3 more months to go 😎

✨ Freedom is sought after by many, but only pursued by few.

I know freedom is in reach. It is attainable.
Looking forward to the day where time, location and finances aren’t the reason stopping me from living my authentic life.

Where and when do you think my next adventure will be? 😎😎

Comment below 👇 🔥

Hint: it’s happening soon

02/10/2022

• Life is all about the experience •

✨
Go out to that restaurant you’ve been wanting to try.
Go on that road trip you’ve been thinking about.
Use your vacation time. You deserve it.
Change your workplace if you’re unhappy.
Call in sick if you need a day to yourself.
✨

Instead of living in a fear mindset, constant “should have, wish I could” thinking…

Remind yourself that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.

Go after what you want. The only person standing in your way is you.

&
If it’s important to you, it’ll all work out.

✌🏻✌🏻

Navigating your 20s can be difficult.

Are you happy?

Are you feeling fulfilled in all aspects?
😅Your relationships
🏦Your career
🧘‍♀️Your life
🔮Your future

Do you have goals and aspiring dreams that you’re activity working towards?

Or are you simply surviving; just going through the motions trying to make it to the next day?

💭
Society has put an immense pressure on us to “have our s**t together”.

What does that really mean?

Ok you have a job
You can pay your bills
Have a vehicle
Maybe own a house or property.

From a societal stand point, you are the crème off the crop.
You have status.
You have your s**t together.

BUT
Are you truly happy??
I mean, don’t get me wrong. Not every day is peaches and rainbows… we all have stressors and some sort of anxiety that can make life difficult.

⏳
Most people are afraid to start over in their 20s because they think once you have checked all the boxes, your life is set.
Your golden.

IN REALITY..

Your life is only just beginning.

We aren’t supposed to have everything figured out in our 20s.
It’s a time meant for learning.
Failing, and trying again.
Figuring out what you want vs what you don’t want.
And learning what you DESERVE.

I’ve spend the last 6 months starting over in my mid 20s because I knew I deserved more.

I sit in my furniture-less apartment, thousands of miles away from family, actively working towards my dream because I’m choosing happiness over what society says I should be doing.

Yes I want all those boxes checked off, but not yet!

I want to live a life for myself.
Not for anyone else.

📣📣📣
So this is your friendly reminder to get outside of your comfort zone and listen to that voice inside your head telling you, “I deserve to be happy. I deserve more. I don’t have to do what everyone else is doing.”

Cheers friends ✌🏻🔥
