She is a beautiful example of someone who is very curious to furthering the constant discovery of what she is capable of in her life. This fun and inspired talk is a blend of both Ashleigh and I taking turns to ask each other questions. Somethings you will learn in this episode are: Both of our journeys into Martial Arts and training JiuJitsu Ashleigh’s influences as a child that encouraged her robust path of fitness and health Being a highly curious person and competent individual Exploring new challenges to keep creating yourself. Body image talks Harmonizing Masculine & Feminine Energy as a woman Ashleigh’s Body Building journey & talks around the sport How I arrived at my Makeup Career Game Changers the movie and our thoughts around “tribal diets” Our individual approaches to our diets And so much more! I am so appreciative for my new friendship with Ashleigh courtesy of our very close mutual friend, Gabrielle Lyon- who is one of the baddest integrative physicians on this planet (EP 59 for those who want to learn more about her) and knew Ashleigh and I would hit it off as homegirls like we did, which is so apparent in this episode and really is my favorite part of this talk. Enjoy! xRx PS. Ashleigh has a weekly newsletter that is SO legit, easy to digest and honestly, one of my favorite emails to receive. I highly recommend signing up for it via her website below.
