    Hydration is Key: Learn why dehydration kicks-up cravings for quick energy (like sugar!), plus a simple method to get you drinking enough water throughout your day.

    Beyond the Plate:
    Lifestyle hacks like stress reduction, prioritizing quality sleep, and strategic movement, can significantly diminish cravings by calming your body's stress response.

    Quick Fixes & Gut Health: Get Ashley's favorite instant craving crusher (it's in your bathroom!) and understand how an anti-inflammatory diet supports gut health, which is vital for reducing those intense, unexplainable urges for sugar.

  • 44: Anti-Inflammatory Diet for Perimenopause
    Jul 1 2025

    Feel like you're always behind with your health goals...especially now that perimenopause is in full swing? You're not alone!

    This week, we're diving into how to make anti-inflammatory nutrition a sustainable lifestyle, not just something you try for a few days.

    Big transformations always start with small changes, which is why you need to learn how to master the 3 levels of anti-inflammatory nutrition.

    This isn't about perfection; it's about progress, understanding, and building lasting habits that work for your busy midlife.

    Level 1: Gluten-Free & Sugar Awareness: Start with going gluten-free (which is much easier with today's options!) Begin to notice where added sugars sneak into your diet (like in common condiments!) and understand their impact on inflammation. Small changes here can lead to noticeable improvements in brain clarity, energy, and reduced joint pain.

    Level 2: Basics & Balance: Dabble with dairy-free options, and add in low-impact workouts. This level incorporates family meals and learning to set healthier boundaries that support your choices.

    Level 3: Anti-Inflammatory Mastery: Where anti-inflammatory eating becomes an effortless lifestyle – consistent, clean eating, prioritized sleep, and mindful movement. The bonus here is using mindset frameworks to stay on track (even with external pressures).

  • 43: Be Honest, How Are You REALLY Doing? (I'll Go First)
    Jun 24 2025

    Ever scroll through social media and feel crushing resentment, seeing everyone else living their "best summer ever" while yours feels... less than ideal? You are not alone!

    This week, Ashley gets raw and honest about her own challenging summer, filled with a breast cancer diagnosis, family caregiving, and busy schedules.

    ❌ This isn't an episode about complaining; it's about validating your feelings and sharing powerful strategies to cope, find joy, and maintain perspective when life throws unexpected curveballs.

    If your summer looks different than you imagined – this episode's for you:

    Embrace Your Anxiety: Learn to accept anxiety as a normal human emotion, especially when navigating overwhelming life circumstances. Understand that it's okay to feel it, and you're not "wrong" for experiencing it.
    Combat Shame with Gratitude: Ditch the comparison trap and the spiral of shame by focusing on one single thing you're grateful for each day. This simple practice can gently shift your perspective and highlight the good.
    Create Tiny, Meaningful Moments: Discover how to infuse joy into your everyday life with small, intentional moments that don't require money or huge effort.

    This episode is a heartfelt invitation to be kind to yourself, validate your struggles, and find glimmers of happiness even when your summer isn't what you planned. It's about accepting where you are, finding peace in the present, and knowing that this season of your life is temporary.
