In this solo episode of Inner Alchemy, Ashley Logan shares the foundational shift that changed everything for her: learning how to regulate her nervous system.

After years of building a seven-figure marketing agency while raising three children, Ashley found herself burned out, anxious, and deeply disconnected from her body. What began as a search for connection, led her into the world of somatic healing.

The thing is that many of us spend  years living almost entirely in our heads, achieving, performing, doing, and totally disconnected from our bodies. 

The problem is, when this happens, we lose access to the most important information we have—our intuition, our instincts, and cues from our nervous systems.

In this episode, Ashley shares:

Why so many high-performing women feel disconnected from their bodies

How nervous system dysregulation shows up in everyday life

The hidden cost of constant achievement

What burnout actually feels like in the body

Navigating entrepreneurship as a woman in male dominated environments

The identity shifts that come with motherhood and leadership

Why nervous system regulation is foundational for creating a life that feels aligned

If you are someone who has worked hard to build a life and still feels like something inside you is asking for more truth, more alignment, and more connection to yourself, this conversation is for you.

Inner Alchemy is a show for the dreamers, doers, and changemakers navigating burnout, big questions, and the desire to return to what truly matters.

I’m your host, Ashley Logan, a somatic guide, mother, entrepreneur, and transformational coach.

I started Inner Alchemy after navigating my own experience with burnout, loss and identity shifts during motherhood—and woke up to realize that the life I built no longer felt like mine. I set down a path of coming home to myself, so I could live a life that was not only aligned…but a life that was mine.

Here, we cover everything from nervous system regulation and somatic healing, to practical, embodied tools that help women reconnect with their bodies, intuition and sense of worth. Because we all deserve that.

What if the exhaustion you've been carrying isn't a personal failing, but the predictable result of a system that was never designed to hold you?

In this episode of Unapologetically Yours, Ashley Logan sits down with Bijou Finney, psychedelic coach and integration alchemist, for a conversation that cuts straight to the bone of what so many women are quietly carrying: the relentless weight of performing in a world that was never designed for them.

Bijou Finney is a psychedelic coach and integration alchemist who specializes in visionary life design for conscious entrepreneurs, couples, and women who are ready to come alive. After nearly a decade of building and running a successful video production company while pushing herself to the edge of what her nervous system could hold, Bijou found her way to plant medicine and never looked back. Today she helps women, men, and couples reconnect to their authentic self through intentional plant medicine work, somatic healing, and the radical act of learning to feel again.

"Your true authentic self is a regulated nervous system. Your true authentic self is your brain with the correct narratives. And everything else is damage. It’s distortion. It’s trauma. It’s a program that’s not yours." - Bijou Finney

In this episode, Ashley and Bijou explore:

- How plant medicine supports nervous system healing and helps women begin to autocorrect the narratives that were never theirs to carry

- How the patriarchal template has extracted women to the point of depletion, and why this burnout is not a personal failing but a systemic design

- What it looks like to take your first baby steps back to yourself, from an Epsom salt bath to eventually setting the boundaries that change your life

- Bijou's work with couples and why supporting women back into fullness is one of the most profound gifts a partner can give

- How to live on the full spectrum of your feminine expression, including the parts of you that have been tolerated away

- Why women will be the ones to lead this shift, and what it means to answer that call right now

...and so much more!

A Note from Ashley:

This conversation with Bijou touched something real in me. I came to plant medicine through my own unraveling, through years of running a business that extracted everything from me and a marriage that eventually couldn't hold the truth of who I was becoming. What Bijou brings is an invitation to stop lying to yourself. To listen to what your body has been trying to tell you for years. The medicine was the mirror I didn't know I needed. If you've been feeling the pull, this episode is for you.

What happens when the life you thought was over becomes the portal to your rebirth? 

In this episode of Unapologetically Yours, Ashley sits down with Misty McCray for one of the most powerful conversations she's ever had, a story of resilience that spans from a federal prison sentence to salvation, somatic healing, and finding the courage to live unapologetically. 

Misty McCray is a storyteller, mother, and embodied movement guide. What I appreciate most about Misty is her willingness to evolve, release identities that no longer served her, and trust her inner authority. When she's not creating or guiding, she's mothering her son and herself, soaking up sunlight, walking barefoot on the earth, journaling, dancing, singing, practicing yoga, and gathering with friends to celebrate life as it unfolds.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

- Misty's arrest at 24 and the moment she felt relief, knowing this was her reset

- The 10 years she spent in federal prison and how she showed up with purpose inside

- The women she met behind bars who became her teachers and soul sisters

- Reentering society, becoming a mother, and navigating survival mode for nearly two     decades

- Why motherhood stripped her in ways prison never could

- The spiral of healing and how growth is never linear

- Finding her inner authority after society tried to cage her freedom

- How your higher self has always been holding you, even in your darkest moments

- What it means to live unapologetically when the world doesn't understand

... and so much more!

A note from Ashley:

When Misty told me that the day US Marshals surrounded her house was the day she felt relief, I knew this was a conversation that would break people open. Misty’s story about her journey surviving a federal prison sentence teaches us about what happens when you surrender to what you don't understand. This conversation reminded me that freedom isn't a place, it's a practice. And sometimes the thing that breaks you is the thing that births you into the truest version of yourself. Misty's higher self has been holding her all along, and listening to her story, I hope you feel yours holding you too.

A Note from Ashley:

I believe it is my job on this planet to help women remember who the fuck they are. Not as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone who has walked through the fire and can be your friend side by side for whatever you're navigating. For so long, I didn't have a mirror - a woman who was fully embodied in her home life, her work life, what she wanted to create. I realized how much I needed that mirror, and then I realized it's my purpose to be that for others.

Inner Alchemy Studio is about transmuting all of it - the good, the bad, the trauma, the beauty, the joy, the pain, the sorrow - into wholeness. Because all parts of you are beautiful. All parts of you deserve to be seen, and there is so much room for your dreams in this world, without the burnout, without the self-doubt.

I’m so excited and grateful to have you on this journey with me!

What does it cost to speak up? What happens when using your voice in your own community makes you feel unsafe?

If you've ever stayed silent because you were afraid of the consequences, if you've ever watched something wrong happen and didn't know if speaking up was worth the risk, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Unapologetically Yours, Ashley Logan shares her raw, unscripted thoughts and experiences about the courage it takes to use your voice when fear tries to silence you, what we're willing to tolerate in our own communities, and how to build connection instead of division in a time when it feels like the world is tearing itself apart.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

A note from Ashley: I spoke from my heart in this episode, without a script, without an agenda. I share in the grief of anyone who was deeply shaken by the killing of Renee Good. I am her. We all are. No one wants to be shot for trying to do the right thing. This is a time that calls for radical introspection about what it means to be a good neighbor, what it means to show up in your community, and what it means to create a country that is safe, accepting, warm, and joyous for our children. I'm afraid of speaking up, but I can't not speak up - because what I'm willing to tolerate here is what I'm willing to tolerate everywhere.

There comes a moment when your mind can no longer carry what your body has been holding. This episode is an invitation to listen.

In this solo episode of Unapologetically Yours, Ashley Logan shares her personal journey that led her out of chronic overfunctioning and postpartum burnout, and into the world of sound, breathwork, and somatic healing.

This episode isn’t about “fixing” your body or chasing another wellness trend. It’s about listening and learning how to hear your body’s yeses and nos and honoring them, without guilt.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

…and so much more!

A note from Ashley:

If your body has not felt like a safe place to live, I want you to hear this clearly. You are not broken. Disconnection is often a survival strategy, something your system learned because it did not feel safe to stay present. This episode is an invitation to come back gently. Not with another program to perfect and not with more pressure. Just with stillness, listening, and the smallest acts of honoring what your body is already telling you. That is where the shift begins.

Taylor Swift is a living  example of what embodied leadership looks like. This episode is about what happens when a woman trusts her magic and lets the world rise with her.

In this solo episode, Ashley Logan breaks down seven leadership lessons inspired by Taylor Swift and the creation of the iconic Eras Tour. From trusting your vision to leading with grace, gratitude, and unapologetic power, this conversation is a love letter to women who are here to build something meaningful.

Ashley reflects on Taylor’s evolution as a leader, and how her willingness to live, learn, and lead out loud offers a roadmap for entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders who are done playing small.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

A note from Ashley

Watching the Eras Tour felt like witnessing what happens when feminine leadership is fully embodied. Taylor didn’t shrink. She didn’t apologize. She trusted herself, trusted her people, and set a standard so high that everyone around her rose with her. That’s the kind of leadership that doesn’t just build success - it changes culture. This episode is an invitation to trust your magic, even when no one else fully understands it yet.

How much of your life have you spent trying to prove you’re worthy of being here?

In this week’s episode of Unapologetically Yours, I sit down with Meg Sylvester, artist, facilitator, and someone who has been an important mirror and mentor in my life for many years. I have admired Meg since we first met 25 years ago in college, and have watched her continue to grow and shed her skin. 

What I respect most about Meg is her willingness to evolve in public, to release identities, step away from titles, and tell the truth about what it costs to keep performing. She does not position herself above others. She walks beside them. That distinction matters.

After the death of her father, Meg experienced a profound internal shift. Grief stripped away performance and awakened her creative voice in a new way. Not to teach, impress, or lead, but simply to express. In this conversation, we explore what “I am enough” actually means when it is no longer an affirmation, but a lived reality.

Together, we talk about what happens when you stop trying to be impressive, stop needing to be seen a certain way, and start letting yourself exist, without agenda.

In this episode, we talk about:

A note from Ashley:

I wanted to share this conversation because I see so many people, especially women, carrying the quiet pressure to be exceptional in order to be worthy. Meg’s willingness to live without titles or performance challenged me in a way that felt both confronting and freeing. This episode is not about becoming someone new. It is about letting go of what you no longer need to prove. If you have been questioning who you are beyond your roles, your work, or how you are perceived, I hope this conversation helps you come back to yourself with more honesty and less force.

Thank you for being here.
