The Year of the Snake: Shedding Old Skins, Sacred Endings & Coming Home to Myself

Welcome back to Season 3 of Unapologetically Yours! This is a season that is starting off on the back end of massive transformation: a divorce finalized, a business merger, a beloved nanny’s goodbye, and a woman learning to trust that shedding can be sacred. In this solo season 3 opener, Ashley pulls back the curtain on the endings, beginnings, and wild timing that have reshaped her life over the past few months.   Ashley Logan is a writer, storyteller, and spiritual wayfinder, as well as an entrepreneur, mother of three, and host of the Unapologetically Yours podcast. She spent years running Yakkety Yak, a Chicago-based content marketing agency that grew to 30+ employees and nearly $4M in revenue, serving purpose-driven brands around the world. After walking through divorce, parenting three young kids, and navigating a major business merger with The David James Agency, Ashley is redefining what leadership, motherhood, and creative work look like on her own terms.   In this episode, you’ll hear about: What 2025 as the Year of the Snake is revealing about shedding, embodiment, and awakeningHow Ashley’s divorce process finally came to an end—on the same day as her business mergerThe emotional impact of saying goodbye to a nanny who loved her children like familyShifting from full-time agency CEO to a part-time role and more present everyday motherhoodCreating space for writing, podcasting, events, and the creative work that feels most aliveWelcoming change without bypassing the grief, fear, and tenderness that come with it… and so much more!  A note from Ashley:This episode is a love letter to anyone standing at the edge of a big decision. I won’t sugarcoat the chaos - there’s grief, rage, holy exhaustion, and a hundred tiny goodbyes baked into seasons like this. But I’m also noticing the quiet ways I’m being held: the extra toilet paper stacked, the kids’ laughter on weekday afternoons, the way my body exhales when I clear a closet or say no. My hope is that my story gives you permission to trust your own timing, your own body, your own knowing - especially when the path ahead doesn’t look “practical” from the outside.   Connect with Ashley:Instagram @ashleydloganWebsite https://ashleylogan.com/ Have a topic or guest you’d love to see featured on the Unapologetically Yours podcast?
