Ash Adamson is a Senior Product Designer, serial entrepreneur, and transformational life coach. She is a brilliant and thoughtful being, who applies her wisdom and life experience to help us all reflect on how we each get to design our own lives. You can find out more information about Ash on her website ashadamson.com although she is beginning her online presence. She recommends you following her on Instagram @ashtronaut09, where she is more present.

Ash and I met last summer serendipitously at Lightning in a Bottle and, as you will hear in this episode, we quickly got our life stories bound up with one another's.

In this episode, we talk about the value of continually uprooting our assumptions about life and who we are, and instead focusing on being in the present moment so we can open to the world unfolding around us. We talk about how our sense of "self" is only an idea, and how we can continually assess and revise the idea of who we are. We talk about her journey of transitioning through genders, identities, and her own sense of self; and about the nuances of the current trans inclusion movement and the importance of not replicating experiences of exclusion as we craft a world for all of us.

Music:

The song I have for you was chosen by Ash herself. It is called "Flight from the City" and it's by the late composer Johann Johannsson. I want to thank Johannsson's estate for giving me permission to share this song with you.

Ash's invitation for while you listen to this song is to take a moment to be formless, and enjoy.
