Today I’m talking about cringey industry practices that have gottttt to go. A couple of weeks ago I added a question box to my IG story to invite you to share some of your cringiest, yet glorified, industry no-nos. I got sooo many responses, so naturally, I'm here to share the juiciest with you. 💦 Huge thanks to those of you who I connected with in my DM's about these polarizing topics. 😬

MORE ABOUT ASH
I am the definition of duality — I swear like a sailor and break rules like it’s my job, but I also hold incredible space for my clients and work my ass off to help them achieve the success they’re after. But I'm also here for the non-preneur woman, too. My background in counseling gives me a unique perspective on what it means to show up, serve, & create connection for those who feel like they've never belonged before.
