In this episode I'm joined by my girl Jacqueline "Jackie" Victoria. We discuss what inspired her to go to law school. We discuss how her circumstances growing up shaped her idea of love at a young age, and led her to some toxic relationships, and a very anxious place. Jackie shares with me how Dialectical Behavior Therapy helped her recover from this, and how she overcame anxiety to find her voice again... And so much more!

In this episode, I'm stuck at home in quarantine with my second case (at least) of Covid. I feel like a bag of dicks and sound like shit, so bare with me. I recap my recent trip with my friend Michele and how I possibly got the dirty rona. I share a post titled "How Men & Women Grow Differently" from Ryan King (@thewisdomofkings on IG) that explores different types of parenting styles amongst single parents, and how this can affect adults in relationships. And finally, I answer some of your AskCheeks questions, including- how to get back into the dating scene/approaching women, sugar daddies, sex on the first date, and open relationships.

In this episode, I got to sit down with one of my favorite fitness couples to follow online: Camille Leblanc-Bazinet and Dave Lipson! Both are former professional athletes who now run very large online coaching businesses with thousands of athletes. Cami won the title of "Fittest Woman on Earth" in 2014 when she won the CrossFit games, and Dave played professional baseball. We discuss their background in sports and competing, and how that led them to establishing their own coaching businesses and the methodology they use today.  We cover the specifics of the programs they offer, and how they navigate maintaining a healthy marriage, parenting, and running their businesses alongside one another. We also answer some of your AskCheeks questions and so much more!

In this episode, I sit down with IFBB Pro, Cameron James, although I’d later learn he doesn’t like being referred to as that lol. Cam shares his journey to becoming an IFBB pro, coming from a a background in college football and the music industry. He shares how he transitioned out of the fitness industry, and began developing his communication skills and building his confidence to launch his very successful career in sales. Cam explains how he stays motivated, along with his views on pursuing goals versus “checkpoints.” We discuss what love is, and what his parents' lasting marriage has taught him about relationships. We also answer some AskCheeks questions, including how Cameron feels about jumping from woman to woman... to woman, and his biggest turn-offs.

This week I'm in Miami and joined by a special guest, Edwin Rodriguez Jr!

Edwin is an entrepreneur, personal trainer, fitness influencer, and one of the owners of Miami Strong Gym. We sit down to talk about his path to becoming an entrepreneur. We discuss what life was like for him growing up, and how the passing of his mother at a young age instilled the motivation in him to become an amazing person despite his hardships. He shares how he found healing from his loss through pouring into others and giving back. Edwin defines what success looks like to him, and the life he is working towards creating for himself. We cover various topics related to business, fitness, and relationships. 

We also answer some AskCheeks dating questions from the AshCheeks listeners. We debate whether or not it's appropriate to follow an ex on instagram, how to handle your partner's "best friend" of the opposite sex, and share our opinions on ghosting.

Next up- HOUSTON!!

Welcome back, baby!

In this relaunching of the AshCheeks podcast, Ashley discusses diving the f**k back into the dating pool. She shares 4 or 5... or 6 (we can’t f**king keep track) tips that she has learned recently about navigating relationships since she started dating again.

She discusses the benefits of spending time alone, and how it can help put you in a better position for a healthy relationship when the time is right. She shares how she finds value in being alone when feeling lonely.

She shares the mantra she uses to overcome feeling rejection, and how to apply this to failed relationships and getting blocked when you shoot your shot.

She covers the importance of clear communication, being upfront about your intentions, and asking questions for clarity to survive today’s dating culture.

Ashley talks about the impact the relationships we see as children have on the relationships we form as we grow up. How the relationships around us can influence our idea of what a relationship should look like. And redefining your idea of love when you’ve developed a toxic one.

She also preaches why you should just go on the f**king date!

And a lot more!

Apparently I'm going to fall in love next month, and that's all you really need to know. But in case that's not enough, here's a recap of the last 3 weeks, including my trip to Charlotte, my recent surgery, and some things I've learned about myself lately (like what a controlling bitch I am).
