Honestly, I’m irritated.

Hey y’all! Happy New Year 🎉 Like a young cub searching and longing for its mother, I know you all have been wondering…where did Ashley go? What happened to a young, irritated bae?! Well, I can explain. Life got real, grad school commenced, and my time-management and sanity went out the window. ANYWAYS, let’s wet our podcast whistles back up with a recap of a recent creative thesis writing assignment and my past few days. A year long recap will be soon to follow because HONESTLY, it’s been a lot. Let’s get into it!

Different seasons of life require different levels of commitment, behavior, and action. This time around, I’m reaping BIG time, but only because of the losing and learning seasons that came before. Let’s talk about it ✨

What? Oh lol, I thought last season said something. Hey!✨ First name Honestly, middle/last-name combo I’m irritated reporting LIVE to you with a quite quirky cuarta temporada. (Get the “q”vibe?!) Let’s vocally strut through this NEW month and season reflecting, appreciating, and preparing for the future! Let’s get it ✨

Y’all! We have made it to a new year with its own unique set of opportunities, lessons, joyous moments, and so much more. This season-ender is an ode to where we’ve come, where we’ll go, and how to get there reclaiming our power and being more in control of our reactions. ✨ Let’s get to it!

So my planner was SUPPOSED to be my partner in optimism this year...even though she just sold me lies. Hindsight is always 20/20 though, right? Listen as I recap this decade’s culmination by month & dissect my planner and I’s toxic relationship this past year. (I deserved SO much better smh). Let’s get to it! ✨

As we juggle life and what it throws at us, let’s not forget about the ways we can be of service and blessings to those whom we live + interact with daily. Join me as I reminisce on some personal experiences. Let’s get to it! ✨

My college experience has been one of unique + unexpected nature, but regardless has been very meaningful. Listen as I reveal how my life mission has evolved over time and ponder on how I anticipate life changing + enhancing me in the future...of course with a little rant as well. Enjoy! ✨

From governmental corruption to the mixed perceptions of the Jahari Window, let’s check out of the regularly scheduled program to talk about what really matters. ✨ The exit of the Matrix is this way, follow me.

So here we are! On July 2, 2019 I posted the very FIRST episode of this lovely here podcast, and my fellow humans, IT HAS BEEN A YEAR! 🎉 My little baby is growing up! *proud mom tears*. No, but “Honestly”...for me this podcast is the personification of how giving into your creative desires can change you for the better. It’s my life articulated, and I’m grateful to have shared that with you. ✨ To many more years of doing whatever tf I put my mind to! Let’s celebrate life, achieving goals, and working through life’s irritations with style and grace ✨

Many people have the option to move through life being complacent, neutral, and unaware of the many troubles that are the reality for so many. But as a black, bisexual, and quirky American-based woman, I cannot. Today’s episode is about navigating and finding meaning in a life where just being YOURSELF is deemed an issue, and how that personifies itself. Being born into adversity, I believe it is my job to not only be a voice of reason for people, but to inspire others to be actively a part of positive change as well. Let’s talk about it! ✨
