Healing Her with Ashley LeMieux

How do you know if you’re experiencing seasonal depression? This is my first time sharing that I have been feeling this emotional shift every fall for seven years now. In this episode, I dive into how your history can influence your emotional responses to seasonal changes, factors that affect your mood, and coping strategies. I also share how you can turn unhealthy coping mechanisms into healthier ways and why you should build a support system. Remember, these feelings won’t last forever and you are NOT alone.

How do you know that you’re alive today? A recent conversation with my grandpa, who is at the end of his life, sparked something in me that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about. It made me realize how many of us go through life on autopilot and afraid to fully live. In this episode, I share how this question has shaped my new daily mantra, the shifts I’ve been navigating, the choices I’m weighing (like another baby, a career pivot, or a whole year of travel). I also have some big announcements, including a brand new podcast format, an upcoming retreat for our community, and the changes coming to Healing Her.  Tune in to learn how to intentionally step into a life that feels fully alive.

I had the incredible honor of sitting down with my mentor Gabby Bernstein in her home in New York City. Gabby has been such an inspiration to me in my own healing journey. In our conversation, Gabby and I got real about what manifesting truly means. It's not just about repeating affirmations or vision boarding - true manifesting requires looking within at our deepest beliefs and wounds. Gabby shared so vulnerably about her experience overcoming trauma in her own life. For those of you wanting to start a manifesting practice but feeling overwhelmed, Gabby provides the perfect place to begin - her 21 Day Manifesting Challenge. I know y'all are going to get so much out of this chat.

Hi friend, this community has grown so much and I wanted to bring back the episode where I share my story. Through my own journey of unimaginable grief and trauma, I've learned that healing is not a destination, but a true reflection of life and how we transform through our experiences. I open up about the loss of our kids, including the emotional and physical toll it took almost losing my life when I lost my son Jace during pregnancy. If you're struggling to find joy after experiencing your own heartbreaks, I hope my story will show you that you are not alone, and that the light at the end of the tunnel is closer than you think. Join me as we explore the power of sharing our stories and discover the tools to rebuild your life, one step at a time.

Happy 2025! When I first recorded this episode, we were only four years out from 2020. The reason being four years out is significant is because of what it means in the grief and the trauma process.

In this episode, I'm going to share my proven process for gaining clarity and confidence as you move forward. We'll also discuss the importance of rest and not feeling behind. So get ready to learn some powerful tools for moving past feelings of burnout or being lost. I can't wait to help you discover your next best step!

04:15 How to prioritize inner healing and alignment in goal setting.

08:15 Finding purpose and fulfillment after loss and grief. 

13:00 How to intentionally find joy in the journey instead of waiting for milestones to be happy.
