Hi, I'm Ashley!
Welcome to my journeyThese are always awkward, so I'll get to it. You're here to know who I am and why you should trust me or give a damn about what I say.
Well, I'm just a human who has been through some crazy stuff in my 35 years. However, with many challenging life points, I've been able to create a life I love and feel truly successful in - in spite of those things.
My only goal is to show up, be honest, vulnerable and hope that I can inspire someone else to see their worth and make a life changing decision too!
So, who am I?
I'm a mom, wife, entrepreneur, fitness coach, athlete, creator, writer and lover of no bullshit.
I love photography, good wine and sweet sassy saxaphone music!
I am a Mom
Being a mom has been hands down one of the most unexpectedly bitter-sweet and humbling experiences of my life.

I am a Wife
To this day, we've still never foughtBoth Jim and I had failed marriages in the past, so we met each other late in life. But late enough that we knew what we wanted, we learned from our past and knew that we were ready for each other.
Everyday we have one goal: to make each other laugh. We've never not met this goal.
To this day, we have never fought. This is because the pillar of our marriage is communication & true understanding of one another.
I could not have imagined a better partner in life & I never knew a love like this existed!
I am an Entrepreneur
I love what I do, everydayI went to school to be a police officer, and thankfully never went that route.
I am stubborn, driven and do not like to be told what to do.
I saw opportunity within a passion of mine and decided to follow my heart rather than settle where I knew I'd be unhappy.
The entrepreneur road has been HARD AF, but I learn more everyday and appreciate the journey the further along I get.
I am an Athlete
through and through as long as my body will allowI grew up playing sports, competing with the boys any chance I got.
I was offered two scholarships for hockey, but unfortunately never got to take the opportunities due to health issues.
I started CrossFit in 2012 and never looked back. I was hooked and began competing at only 4 months in. I wanted to see how far I could push myself and learn what my body was really capable of.
Three CrossFit Games Regionals under my belt, and many other local competitions - thats where I love to be!
