I sat down with my wise and thoughtful friend Katie Ashley, another Charleston, SC local, to hear her takeaways from the seasons and cycles of the past few years as I know she is someone who embodies the #ItsAllMeMindset beautifully.

Katie brings her lived wisdom to this conversation and shares it through her unique lens of her therapeutic yoga training and Chinese medicine, plus her personal experience with surfing.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The cycles (or cyclones) of being a woman, mother or entrepreneur 
• How Katie keeps herself at the center of her life’s experiences. #itsallmemindset
• Earth lessons, samskaras and giving ourselves grace to be in the process
• How we were both reluctant nature lovers🙈, even though it connected us to the inherent magic in the cyclical nature of seasons, tides, and our human experience.
• How Katie faced a deathly fear of the ocean to cultivate self-trust and lean into her true desire to be a surfer
• The incredible metaphor that surfing provides for a modern woman mastering her balance of the masculine and feminine.

More about Katie: Katie Ashley offers individualized movement therapy in her downtown studio space in Charleston, SC. These sessions include a blend of functional movement, equipment based Pilates, Katonah Yoga, Buddhist meditation philosophies and practices, hands on Thai yoga therapy techniques, and a good dose of Traditional Chinese Medicine themes and classical yoga philosophies.

She is the author of the book, Living Life On Purpose, and is the resident yoga teacher at the Feminist Magic Market that occurs in the cozy backyard of Itinerate Literate Books in North Charleston. She teaches weekly yoga classes at Yoloha Yoga Factory on James Island and offers workshops wherever she’s invited.

She is also the Wellness Coach at Hammocks on the Edisto, a small residential treatment center for women in recovery from trauma and alcohol and substance abuse and has long been an advocate for recovery of all kinds.
