The Adversity Advantage with Doug Bopst

Ashlie Molstad On Overcoming Addiction To Achievement & Rebuilding Her Life After Falling From The Top


Listen Later

Today's guest is Ashlie Molstad. Ashlie is one of the most successful Beachbody coaches of all time, having earned the prestigious top coach award two years in a row. This achievement was no small feat, given that there are hundreds of thousands of coaches. Ashlie is also a life coach and host of the "Insource" podcast. In this episode, we discuss Ashlie's rise to success in a competitive industry and how that same rise to success also led to addictions to things like achievement and external validation. We discuss how these addictions led to her swimming in a river of "misery" and how she bounced back. We also chat about her struggles with her mental health and not liking herself, how to overcome the opinions of others, why she is reevaluating her relationship with alcohol and so much more.
