Authentically Ashlyn
by Ashlyn Gunderson
Whether needing an audio workout buddy, a friend in your ear over coffee, or a virtual sister to throw back a glass of wine with, Ashlyn's got your back. Authentically Ashlyn is not your typical female-led personal development podcast. The audio provided here may make you cringe, make you laugh, teach you something special or offend you ever-so-slightly. This may not be the self-help podcast you share with your religious bestie who preaches all things holy, your uptight Grandmother, or your sweet (or not so sweet) mother-in-law: there are plenty of personal development podcasts on the market for that. This is, however, a podcast that sparks conversation amongst friends beyond the monotony talks of marriage and children. This is a podcast that pairs well with an Aperol Spritz… or a 9 PM bedtime. This is a podcast that flames your once-forgotten fire to inspire you to grow, level up, and laugh along the way to becoming your best self.If you’re looking for personal growth with a littl
