In today's episode I share some backstory to how I got started journaling, why I've made it a part of my regular self-care practice, and some lessons I've learned along the way, the "do's" and the "don'ts" from my perspective.

11. Journaling - 5 Reasons why I LOVE + 5 "Don'ts"

This podcast is all about owning our "softness" as strength, and honoring who we are with compassion everyday!

Prepare to get comfortable, and sometimes a little uncomfortable, as we talk about what goes on beneath the surface of sensitive, soft-spoken, and strong as hell people like you and me! Are you ready for a heart to heart conversation? Come on in ;)

Hello friend! Today's episode brings a little bit of a lower energy, but as always, an honest conversation about slowing down and giving ourselves the actual rest that we need. It doesn't always feel great, especially when we're trying to accomplish some big goals or if we're feeling "behind," but when we get intentional about integrating rest into our routines, we can actually be more productive in the long run! 
Let me know your takeaways from today's episode, I would love to connect on this one! Find me on IG @ashton.pitre and if you feel called to, tag me in your stories so I can shout you out personally! Keep on living soft and strong friends :)

27. The Struggle with the SLOW DOWN + REST (but why it's so important!)

Hello friends! Today's episode is a quick one that came to me in my own observations of other people, and it's something I'm definitely guilty of doing too. Why do we apologize when we don't look completely put together? If we show up on our IG stories & snaps looking a little bit messy, we don't need to be sorry for it! Ladies, I'm looking at you...I see you saying sorry for your appearance (or the state of your home) and I just want you to know that you don't need to apologize to ANYONE! The people who care don't matter, and the people who matter don't care, right? You know I say this with love, friend to friend. It's time to stop saying sorry for something you don't need to be sorry for :)

26. HOT-HEART MINUTE - NO MORE APOLOGIZING for how you LOOK when you show up!

Hello friends! In today's episode, I take you way back to where it all began for me. From the body shame and insecurity of a girl coming into her teen years, to the young women desperate for a body deserving of love, I don't hold anything back. This is a story that's all too familiar for too many women, and it's beyond time we change the narrative for the next generation. Losing weight is NOT the key to happiness, success, and most of all, it is not required to be WORTHY OF LOVE, in every moment. This is something I'm very passionate about, as it took me many years to really lean in to taking care of myself on the INSIDE, and realizing that the biggest transformations are the ones that go on underneath the surface. 
If today's episode resonated with you, I would be so happy if you shared it on IG. You can find me @ashton.pitre, send me a DM and let me know what you think! Do you have a similar story? I would love to know :) Keep on living soft and strong friends!

24. Some thoughts on IDENTITY (and when labels no longer serve us)

Hello friends, hope you're feeling the love with this one! Today's episode is a quick hit of self-love talk and all about how we're worthy and deserving or love TODAY, simply by existing on this planet! I share a little anecdote about my own realization around the self love that was lacking and how I take better care to love who I was, who I am, and who I'm becoming (cuz a girl's still got goals!!). 


If this one hit home for you, I would love to connect! You can find me on IG @ashton.pitre - send me a message or tag this episode in your stories and share what your takeaway was. Sending BIG love to YOU my soft and strong hearts out there!! :)
