Living an Intentional Life Podcast

Send us Fan MailIn this conversation, I sit down with Shilpa Lewis—mindfulness-led AI strategist, meditation life coach, and host of the globally ranked podcast Omni Mindfulness™—to explore what it means to stay grounded, intentional, and aligned in the rapidly evolving age of AI.With over 20 years of experience in User Experience design, a deep academic foundation in artificial intelligence and human–computer interaction, and a long-standing meditation practice, Shilpa brings a rare integration of technology, spirituality, and human-centered awareness.Together, we explore the intersection of mindfulness and modern technology—and the internal experience of navigating a world that constantly asks us to move faster, do more, and stay “ahead.”In this episode, we talk about:why so many solopreneurs feel overwhelmed in the age of AIhow digital noise can pull us into reactivity rather than claritythe importance of “pause” as a leadership and life practicewhat it means to build with alignment instead of urgencyhow AI can be used as a tool for reflection rather than avoidanceand why solopreneurship itself is often a deeply spiritual journeyShilpa also shares her personal evolution—from a long-standing career in UX and systems design, to stepping into entrepreneurship, mindfulness coaching, and creating tools like her Pause with Purpose™ framework and Founder’s Why Compass™ app.At the heart of her work is a simple but powerful philosophy: Pause first. Reflect deeply. Amplify what matters.This conversation is not just about AI or business—it’s about discernment. About learning how to stay connected to your inner clarity while navigating external noise. And about remembering that how we build matters just as much as what we build.If you’ve been feeling the pressure to keep up, stay visible, or figure out how to integrate AI into your life or business in a meaningful way… this episode offers a grounding return to presence, purpose, and intentional creation.ABOUT SHILPA : Shilpa Lewis is a mindfulness-led AI strategist, meditation life coach, and host of the globally ranked Top 5% podcast, Omni Mindfulness™.CONNECT WITH SHILPA : Website Instagram Facebook Linked-in 🧭 Founder’s Why Compass™MORE FROM THIS PODCAST : PURCHASE YOUR "Fall in love with yourself + your life : 2026 Planner!" FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation Follow on INSTAGRAMWork 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMUSIC BY: Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show

Send us Fan MailThere was a version of me I quietly put away.I told myself I was meant to be the student… not the teacher. That I wasn’t suited for that role. That part of me slowly went dormant—not because she left, but because I stopped believing in her.And yet… she never left.In this episode, I share the journey of returning to a part of myself I once silenced—and what it felt like to finally say a full-body yes to stepping back into it.We explore the deeper truth that the parts of us we think we’ve outgrown or left behind are often still within us… waiting. Waiting to be acknowledged. Waiting to be chosen again.This conversation is an invitation to gently reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been quieted, dismissed, or forgotten—and to begin rebuilding a relationship with them, one honest step at a time.If something has been calling you back…this episode is for you.MORE FROM THIS PODCAST : PURCHASE YOUR "Fall in love with yourself + your life : 2026 Planner!" FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation Follow on INSTAGRAMWork 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMUSIC BY: Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show

Send us Fan MailIn this expansive and heart-led conversation, I sit down with Kelsey Erickson, founder of Everme & Co., intuitive leadership coach, depth psychologist, 3x author, and guide for one-of-a-kind creative souls.Kelsey works with thoughtful overthinkers, recovering control freaks, and visionaries who long to “let go and let it flow” — but aren’t quite sure how. Her signature philosophy, Intuition + Action = Magic, offers a grounded and accessible way to lead a Creatively Designed Life.We explore what it really means to live with intention — not as something rigid or performative, but as the absence of rushing, forcing, and controlling. For Kelsey, intentionality begins with intuition. When we slow down enough to observe, to be curious, and to be present, we remember who we are.This conversation weaves through:• The evolution of identity — in business and in motherhood• Navigating creative entrepreneurship while pregnant with her first child• How grief and death continue to shape her inner landscape• Journaling as a daily non-negotiable (and the power of Morning Pages)• Why she writes books as a way to always have a gift to offerKelsey describes herself as rhizomatic — nonlinear, interconnected, ever-evolving — and this conversation beautifully reflects that. We follow the threads of intuition wherever they lead.If you are craving a softer way to lead…If you are tired of forcing and ready to trust…If you sense there is a more aligned way to create your life…This episode is for you.CONNECT WITH KELSEY : Website Instagram Morning Pages ClubUse code - INTENTIONAL5MORE FROM THIS PODCAST : Intentional Living Weekend Immersion SPRING RETREAT Secure your seat with a deposit! PURCHASE YOUR "Fall in love with yourself + your life : 2026 Planner!" FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation Follow on INSTAGRAMWork 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMusic by : Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Living an Intentional Life Podcast, we explore what it truly means to create a life rooted in alignment and self-trust.Burnout is not a failure. It is information.At the beginning of this year, I found myself walking in the forest feeling exhausted, depleted, and out of alignment. I had been operating from the energy I thought I needed — pushing forward, striving, and doing more — but what I actually needed was to recalibrate and reclaim.This conversation is about:The difference between non-negotiables and boundariesHow non-negotiables are the heart-aligned standards that guide intentional livingHow boundaries act as the “bouncer” that protects those standardsPractical ways to try this on in your life, starting small and sustainablyThe importance of space, integration, and allowing your world time to recalibrateNon-negotiables are devotion. They reflect what matters most and how you choose to live. Boundaries are protection — creating space for those values to thrive.If you are tired of self-abandonment, overcommitment, or living in ways that feel out of alignment, this episode is for you.We also explore how this work connects to deeper support — including 1:1 coaching and our upcoming retreat — spaces designed for recalibration, sisterhood, and coming home to yourself.You are not broken. You are not behind. You are being invited back to your truth.Tune in for a grounded, heart-centered conversation on reclaiming alignment and living intentionally.More from the Podcast : Intentional Living Weekend Immersion SPRING RETREAT Secure your seat with a deposit! PURCHASE YOUR "Fall in love with yourself + your life : 2026 Planner!" FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation Follow on INSTAGRAMWork 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMusic by : Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show

Send us Fan MailIn this deeply moving and first-of-its-kind episode, Ashley sits down with Chelsea Horton, the somatic therapy practitioner who guided her through a 3.5-month intensive that profoundly changed the way she understands her body, her nervous system, and her healing. Together, they share a raw, honest conversation about what somatic healing truly looks like — beyond the buzzwords and into the lived experience. Ashley opens up about discovering her trauma responses, sitting with her body through uncontrollable shaking, and being held in a deeply safe and compassionate container as her nervous system learned to release what it had been carrying. Chelsea gently explains what the body is actually doing in those moments, and why these physical responses are not something to fear — but something to honor. They also explore how high-achieving, perfectionism, and people-pleasing are often rooted in trauma, and how returning to the body allows us to come back to our wholeness, safety, and truth. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from themselves, stuck in survival mode, or longing for a deeper, more embodied way of healing. ✨ A powerful invitation to remember what it feels like to come home to yourself.Connect with Chelsea : $150 off Wholly Human: INTENTIONALLIVING | Sign up here Website More from the Podcast : Intentional Living Weekend Immersion SPRING RETREAT Secure your seat with a deposit! PURCHASE YOUR "Fall in love with yourself + your life : 2026 Planner!" FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation Follow on INSTAGRAMWork 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMusic by : Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you finally slow down enough to hear yourself?In this deeply personal episode of Living an Intentional Life, Ashley shares what unfolded when she created space at the beginning of the year — space to breathe, to walk in the forest, and to listen to the quiet, persistent voice within.Feeling exhausted, deflated, and disconnected from the energy she wanted to carry forward, Ashley began to receive clear inner guidance: to step away from social media, release alcohol, pause photoshoots, let go of her membership, and invite in more space. None of it felt easy — but all of it felt true.This episode is an invitation into that same kind of listening. You’ll explore why space is where clarity lives, how to trust the nudges you receive, and how to take small, intentional steps that bring your life back into alignment. Ashley also shares how your values and what fills your cup form the foundation of a heart-centered life — and how creating space is the doorway to what wants to come next.If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed, or disconnected, this episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t need to push your way into clarity — you can listen your way there.More from the Podcast : Intentional Living Weekend Immersion SPRING RETREAT Secure your seat with a deposit! PURCHASE YOUR "Fall in love with yourself + your life : 2026 Planner!" FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation Follow on INSTAGRAMWork 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMusic by : Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Soft, Seen & Sovereign, I sit down with Kaysha van der Heyden of Branding by Kaysha for a deeply honest conversation about what it really means to be visible in a creative life — without losing yourself in the process.To live with intention, for me, means listening to the quiet signals. The subtle yes in your body. The gentle no you keep ignoring. The inner knowing that doesn’t always make sense, but never leads you astray. This conversation is an invitation into that kind of listening — especially when your creativity, your body, and your livelihood are all intertwined.Kaysha and I talk about what it’s like to build a personal brand while staying soft, grounded, and true. We explore body image, being seen online, and the tender dance of sharing your work and your face with the world — especially when doubt, comparison, or old stories try to keep you small.I also share about one of the most intentional decisions I’ve ever made in my business: letting go of my wedding and family photography work to fully step into personal brand photography. It was scary. It was a financial leap. And it was one of the most aligned choices I’ve ever made. Letting go created space for what actually fit.We don’t skip over the messy middle either — those in-between seasons where things feel uncertain, capacity shifts, and creativity asks for room to breathe without needing to be productive. This episode is for the creatives, the entrepreneurs, the sensitive souls, and the women learning how to be visible without hardening.You’re allowed to be soft.You’re allowed to be seen.And you’re allowed to remain sovereign in the way you show up.About Kaysha : Kaysha helps women overcome body image struggles and show up confidently in front of the camera.Kaysha is a personal brand photographer who empowers women to embrace their bodies, express their authentic selves, and feel confident in every photo. She combines her expertise in photography with a deep understanding of self-image challenges, guiding women to step in front of the camera without fear and leave with images that reflect their true power and personality.Her mission is simple: help women reclaim confidence, tell their story visually, and finally feel comfortable, and proud, being seen.Connect with Kaysha : WebsiteInstagram Free 5 Day Self-Portrait Challenge More from the Podcast : Intentional Living Weekend Immersion SPRING RETREAT Secure your seat with a deposit! PURCHASE YOUR "Fall in love with yourself + your life : 2026 Planner!" FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation Follow on INSTAGRAMWork 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMusic by : Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show

From that place, I invite you into a deeper conversation about what it means to create a life that truly supports your energy, your nervous system, and your truth.I talk about how sanctuary isn’t a place you go—it’s a relationship you build with your time, energy, and attention. I share gentle reflections, simple practices, and honest questions to help you slow down, reconnect, and live in alignment with what matters most.In this episode, I share:Why sanctuary begins with subtraction, not additionHow boundaries become the structure that protects what you valueWhy your nervous system needs rhythm, not intensityHow small, consistent practices can restore clarity and creativityWhat it means to live intentionally through choice—not pressureThis episode is an invitation to soften, to listen, and to remember that your life is allowed to feel supportive.If you’d like to learn more about the Spring Intentional Living Weekend Immersion, you’ll find the details in the show notes.

Send us Fan MailSo many of us try to plan what’s next from a place of exhaustion—asking ourselves to move forward when our cups are already empty.In this episode, I’m inviting you to pause.To honor the season you’re actually in, rather than the one you think you should be in.We explore what it means to practice intentional living when energy feels low, clarity feels distant, or life has been asking more of you than you’ve had to give. Instead of pushing or fixing, this conversation offers a gentler approach—one rooted in honesty, self-trust, and care.Inside the episode, I share:Why honoring your current season is the foundation of intentional livingHow I personally support myself when my cup is emptyWhat it looks like to plan ahead from presence instead of depletionWhy planning for joy, rest, and support is an act of alignment—not indulgenceHow intentional space can help you reconnect with yourself and what matters mostWe also explore what it means to choose support before burnout—creating space to be held, nourished, and witnessed as you are.

Send us Fan MailThis is not just the final solo episode of 2025 — it’s a threshold.In this deeply personal and heart-led episode of Living an Intentional Life, I take a moment to re-introduce myself — to you, to this community, and to the woman I’ve become after walking through one of the most transformative seasons of my life.As this podcast marks three years since its ignition, I reflect on who I was when it began, the dreams I carried, the identity I was reaching for, and the version of success I once believed I needed to become. From ambition and visibility to courage and expansion, I share the honest evolution of how my relationship with purpose, identity, and intentional living has shifted — and deepened.What follows is a raw and grounded reflection on the season when everything appeared to be “working”… and the long, slow unraveling that came after. Financial stress, grief, loss, betrayal, identity collapse, fertility heartbreak, and learning how to keep showing up as a mother while my world was breaking open — this episode holds space for the crumbling that so many of us experience but rarely name.And yet — this is not a story of defeat.It’s a story of remembrance.Through awareness, intentionality, and a return to presence, I share how the dismantling brought me back to the bones of myself — stripping away who I thought I needed to be and inviting me to rebuild from truth, embodiment, and self-trust.In this episode, you’ll hear:The evolution of my relationship with courage, success, and identityWhat intentionality truly is — and why awareness is the foundation for aligned livingHow seasons of breakdown often precede our most grounded becomingThe practices that held me through grief, uncertainty, and rebirth — from nature and journaling to therapy, somatic work, spiritual tools, ceremony, creativity, play, and careWhat it means to live cyclically, honor your nervous system, and give yourself permission to be multifacetedWhy small, intentional daily actions create profound, lasting changeThis episode is an invitation — to slow down, to listen inward, to honor who you’ve been, and to meet who you are now with compassion and curiosity.If you’ve changed this year…If you’ve felt the unraveling before the rooting…If you’re ready to choose yourself again — gently, intentionally, and without apology —this episode is for you.Always choose you.Never give up on yourself.You are the most important piece of art you will ever create.✨ From my heart to yours — welcome home.More from the Podcast : Sign up for JANUARY 2026 WORKSHOPS PURCHASE YOUR "Fall in love with yourself + your life : 2026 Planner!" FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation Follow on INSTAGRAMWork 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMusic by : Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of the Living an Intentional Life Podcast, I sit down with Crissy Medina of Medina Fine Pearls for a heartfelt conversation about transforming shame into strength, wisdom, and beauty. Together, we explore how the experiences that weigh us down can also become the source of our most profound growth — when approached with intentionality, self-compassion, and reflection.We dive into:How shame can influence our patterns and decisions without controlling our livesPractices for turning difficult emotions into intentional growth and self-awarenessThe power of acknowledging your past while intentionally designing a life rooted in alignment, self-love, and purposeThis episode is for anyone ready to release the weight of shame, embrace their authentic story, and cultivate a life of clarity, intention, and empowered beauty.About Crissy : I’m Crissy Medina—teacher, traveler, sound therapist, proud mother, and founder of Medina Fine Pearls. My love for pearls began while living by the ocean on Boracay Island, where I became fascinated with how these living organisms transform a tiny irritant into something luminous, imperfect, and uniquely valuable. That same philosophy guides both my life and my brand: just as a pearl forms layer by delicate layer, our challenges and experiences shape us into who we are—resilient, radiant, and truly one of a kind.Connect with Crissy : Website Instagram More from the Podcast : Sign up for JANUARY 2026 WORKSHOPS PURCHASE YOUR "Fall in love with yourself + your life : 2026 Planner!" FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation Follow on INSTAGRAMWork 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMusic by : Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show

Send us Fan MailIn today’s episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story — my story — and the thread that has carried me through every chapter of my life: intentional living.From studying Africana Studies in college…to leaving a stable career at PBS to teach English in Tanzania…to meeting my husband, navigating 3.5 years of long-distance, building a life across continents, and eventually rooting in the mountains…to starting and expanding my business into photography, coaching, podcasting, retreats, writing, and creating tools for intentional living…Every shift, every leap, every “yes” came from listening to the quiet voice within — the one that whispers:Go here. Do this. Trust this.And that’s the heart of today’s conversation.Because intentional living isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence, courage, alignment, and trusting the wisdom that rises from within.In this episode, we dive into:✨ The Practice:How intentional living shows up in the small, sacred moments — morning cacao, opening your planner with purpose, setting an intention before the day begins, and creating margin for stillness and gratitude.✨ The Becoming:How intentionality has carried me through profound growth, trauma, healing, and reinvention — and how doing “the work” helped me build a life aligned with my values and truth.✨ The Expansion:The five biggest benefits of intentional living, especially for the multi-passionate, multi-faceted soul:It reconnects you to your truth.You stop reacting and start responding from your center. You hear what’s aligned and what’s not. You choose peace over pressure.It anchors you through change.When life shifts — and it will — intentionality keeps you rooted in who you are and what matters most.It brings purpose into the ordinary.Magic lives in the small rituals: your breath, your morning cup, your planner pages, your presence.It builds unshakable self-trust.Each intuitive decision strengthens your connection to yourself and to the Divine. Alignment, ease, and miracles begin to flow.It allows your multidimensionality to thrive.You get to be all of it — creative, spiritual, strategic, relational — without losing yourself. Intentionality holds it all together.As we close, I invite you to reflect on one question:What would shift if you created just a little more space to hear that inner voice — and trusted it?Because that voice has never led me wrong.And I believe it won’t lead you wrong either.Here’s to slowing down, tuning in, and choosing to live with intention — today and always. 🌿✨More from the Podcast : PURCHASE YOUR "Fall in love with yourself + your life : 2026 Planner!" FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation Follow on INSTAGRAMWork 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMusic by : Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show

I find this important in a world that tells us we need to constantly be doing. We receive the most when we are still and my intention is to help people slow down.I started teaching yoga in 2014, I’ve been attuned to reiki since 2016, and obtained my master reiki certification in 2022. I got certified in astrology from Rising Woman in the Summer of 2024. And, in the midst of all of that, I received my most sacred role of all, being a mother to my two beautiful boys, Zephyr and Ramses. I’ve had my husband by my side since I was 16 years old and he is truly the reason I am able to do the work that I do. I love you Tristen. I am devoted to helping people see their magic and embody their wisdom. I know all the answers we seek are within; our body holds endless insights. I create the space for people to remember this.Connect with Bianca : Website More from the Podcast : FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation LEARN MORE + APPLY - Fall 2025 Intentional Living Weekend Immersion Follow on INSTAGRAMJoin the "Intentional Living Collective"Work 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMusic by : Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show

Send us Fan MailTune into this week episode of "Living an Intentional Life Podcast" as its a REAIR from BEING A GUEST ON THE SECRETS OF A SUPERMOM SHOW with the most beautiful host Lori! She shares, “This episode is one of those conversations that just hits different. I’m joined by the incredible Ashley Strong Smith—host of Living an Intentional Life, former award-winning photographer, mama, fire wife, and a woman who has completely redefined what it means to live fully and intentionally. Ashley shares how a single question—”Are you just existing or are you fully living?”—changed the entire trajectory of her life. And friend, if you’ve ever looked around and thought, “My life looks great… but why does it still feel off?”—this episode is for you.Let’s talk about the quiet dissatisfaction that ambitious women often feel:✨You’ve built the career you dreamed of✨You’ve got the beautiful family✨You’ve checked all the boxes……but something’s still missing.In this episode, Ashley and I talk about what it really means to live with intention, how to get honest about what you really want (even if it’s different from what you wanted five years ago), and how to start making small changes today that lead to a life you’re in love with—not just surviving through.“Your life is not a to-do list. It’s an experiment.” – Ashley Strong SmithOne of my favorite things Ashley says? That your life is an experiment—and that means you can’t fail. If something doesn’t work, you tweak it. If a change doesn’t stick, you learn and try again. Whether it’s reclaiming 10 minutes for quiet coffee or making room for an after-dinner art table, small shifts lead to massive impact.So if you’ve ever felt like:✨You’re living the life you thought you wanted… but it doesn’t feel aligned anymore✨You’re constantly chasing the next thing on your to-do list✨You’ve lost connection to what you want and who you are…This conversation will help you pause, reassess, and get clear on what matters most.Connect with Secrets of a Supermom Show + Lori : Lori's Instagram Secrets of a Supermom Show Podcast The original episode More from the Podcast : FREE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDE - Creating a Heart-Centered Foundation Follow on INSTAGRAMJoin the "Intentional Living Collective"Work 1:1 with Ashley : Book an Intentional Living Connection CallMusic by : Tristen Whaley / @t_whales / [email protected] / SpotifySupport the show
