There’s no debating: Ash Wilking is a force. Today, she’s inspiring so many as a Rumble instructor and Nike trainer, but in episode 107, we talk about her humble beginnings. Movement has always been her medicine, helping her work through a slew of hurdles from a young age — from the loss of her sister at age 12 to — years later — disordered eating in college. Ash talks to me about her involvement in the pageant system and the influence that has had over her life, and we also chat about her big move from Louisiana to New York City, trading in her job in corporate America to take on the fitness industry — full steam ahead. Her vulnerability in our conversation is beautiful, her attitude is refreshing, and her honest advice on everything from following your gut to asking for help when you’re scared may be exactly what you want to hear.
