July 15, 2025How to stop just existing + start truly living REPLAY from The Secrets of a Supermom Show | Episode 151
Send us a text
Tune into this week episode of "Living an Intentional Life Podcast" as its a REAIR from BEING A GUEST ON THE SECRETS OF A SUPERMOM SHOW with the most beautiful host Lori!

She shares, “This episode is one of those conversations that just hits different. I’m joined by the incredible Ashley Strong Smith—host of Living an Intentional Life, former award-winning photographer, mama, fire wife, and a woman who has completely redefined what it means to live fully and intentionally.

Ashley shares how a single question—”Are you just existing or are you fully living?”—changed the entire trajectory of her life. And friend, if you’ve ever looked around and thought, “My life looks great… but why does it still feel off?”—this episode is for you.

Let’s talk about the quiet dissatisfaction that ambitious women often feel:
✨You’ve built the career you dreamed of
✨You’ve got the beautiful family
✨You’ve checked all the boxes…
…but something’s still missing.

In this episode, Ashley and I talk about what it really means to live with intention, how to get honest about what you really want (even if it’s different from what you wanted five years ago), and how to start making small changes today that lead to a life you’re in love with—not just surviving through.

“Your life is not a to-do list. It’s an experiment.” – Ashley Strong Smith

One of my favorite things Ashley says? That your life is an experiment—and that means you can’t fail. If something doesn’t work, you tweak it. If a change doesn’t stick, you learn and try again. Whether it’s reclaiming 10 minutes for quiet coffee or making room for an after-dinner art table, small shifts lead to massive impact.

So if you’ve ever felt like:
✨You’re living the life you thought you wanted… but it doesn’t feel aligned anymore
✨You’re constantly chasing the next thing on your to-do list
✨You’ve lost connection to what you want and who you are…

This conversation will help you pause, reassess, and get clear on what matters most.
