Authentically Ashlyn

Ashlyn sits down with brand strategist, author, and business coach Sara Chambers for a deeply honest conversation about body image, self-worth, and the stories we’ve all been handed about what our bodies should be. Together, they unpack the myths and conditioning of diet culture—the praise for shrinking, the shame for expanding, and the exhausting cycle of “getting back on track” that so many of us know too well.

Sara gets candid about her own experience moving through body image struggles and the toll that hyper-discipline took on her mental, emotional, and physical connection to herself. She shares how redefining her intention—her “come from”—shifted everything, and how approaching change from love instead of punishment has transformed her relationship with her body.

This episode dives into embodiment practices, daily mindset rituals, and the inner work required to untangle self-worth from shape, size, and control. It’s about choosing yourself—every version, every season.

Ashlyn and Daija are back and bringing all the cozy chaos and candid girl talk you love—but this time, they’re turning over a new leaf. It’s No November, baby, and the duo is spilling all the tea on what they’re giving up this month to level up their routines, mindset, and productivity.

From ditching distractions to taking a hard look at their habits, Ashlyn and Daija get real about the challenges of saying “no” so they can make space for bigger “hell yes” moments. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Kar-Daij-Ash-ians episode without a little life update—expect the usual blend of relationship realness, motherhood moments, business moves, and pop culture hot takes.

It’s funny, it’s raw, and it’s your monthly reminder that growth isn’t always pretty—but it’s definitely worth it. Let’s keep up.

What if the best sex of your life is still ahead of you? Today on Authentically Ashlyn, we are joined by Brittany Policastro @sexually_liberated - a sexologist and empowerment coach who helps high-achieving women over 35 rediscover soul-affirming pleasure, deeper intimacy, and body confidence that doesn’t quit.

We go there… from polyamory to kink, STIs to shame, and how to get out of your head and into your body. Brittany opens up about how her relationship with sex has evolved since her 20s, what shifted in her 30s, and how embracing her “big energy” has changed everything.

This episode is a masterclass in feminine power, vulnerability, and unapologetic self-expression. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, afraid of your desires, or curious about what’s possible beyond “vanilla” - then this one’s for you.

Press play, exhale the shame, and let’s talk about sex (and did she say 15 MINUTE ORGASMS?!) the way it’s meant to be talked about.

Buckle up, babes—this After Dark episode is not for the faint of heart. Ashlyn and Daija are joined by the unapologetically bold Audrina for an unfiltered deep dive into love, lust, and life after marriage. From navigating the chaos of dating apps to discovering what it really means to explore connection beyond convention, nothing is off the table.

Audrina spills the tea on her experiences with polyamory, open relationships, and.. yes- orgies. The trio breaks down the taboos, laughs through the awkward, and keeps it very real about what it means to know (and own) your desires. Plus, things get extra spicy when they play a game of “Panty Drop or Hard Stop”- and trust us, you’ll want to play along.

Raw, hilarious, and definitely unhinged enough to be enjoyed After Dark. Cheers, Bestie!

Ashlyn and Daija are back on the mics, and you know what that means—another round of unfiltered girl talk, life updates, and all the tea you didn’t know you needed. From their latest relationship highs and lows to the messy, hilarious realities of motherhood, nothing is off-limits in this candid catch-up.

They dive into what’s happening in their businesses, how they’re tackling fitness goals (and sometimes totally fumbling them), and the pop culture moments that have them screaming, laughing, or rolling their eyes. As always, there are plenty of side tangents, vulnerable moments, and the kind of banter that makes you feel like you’re sitting right there with them.

It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s authentically Kar-Daij-Ashian. Let’s keep up.

Ashlyn is wrapping up Sequel September with a raw and emotional conversation as she welcomes back Kristen Mrazek. In her first appearance, listeners met Kristen before her motherhood journey—but this time, she’s back to share the unfiltered reality of everything that’s happened since.

Kristen opens up about the many hoops she had to jump through on her fertility journey, the heartbreak of miscarriages, and the resilience it took to keep moving forward. She takes us deep into her birth story, what it taught her, and how she’s been navigating the ups and downs of motherhood. Kristen also shares her experience of being diagnosed with MS, and how it’s reshaped her perspective on strength, health, and what it means to show up for herself and her family.

This episode is real, unvarnished, and full of hard truths—an honest look at both the struggles and the strength that come with life’s biggest transitions.

Sequel September is serving spice, besties- and we’re bringing back a fan-favorite guest: sex therapist + registered psychologist Erin Musick. If you remember Episode 97, you know Erin does not hold back when it comes to orgasms, desire, and all the messy, mind-blowing things in between.

This time, we’re diving even deeper. From the infamous SAR test (aka: 14 hours of porn 👀) to busting Cosmo-era sex myths, Erin is here to unpack the lies we’ve been fed about female pleasure and why so many of us are still carrying shame in 2025. We’re talking quirks, kinks, masturbation, casual sex without catching feelings, relationship dry spells, and yes…whether faking it ever has a place in your bedroom.

Nothing is off-limits: butt plugs, pegging, poop photos (yup, that one too), and the truth about what makes a kink healthy vs. a red flag. Erin also drops her best big-sister advice for single women, moms re-entering the dating pool, and couples navigating mismatched libidos.

Bottom line? If you’re ready to ditch the shame, spice up your sex life, and finally get answers to the questions you’ve been too afraid to ask, this episode is your permission slip.
