When it comes to our career or business, our primary focus is typically what tactics and strategies can we implement to take us to the next level and beyond. Maybe you read self-help books and/or think that you have to change your branding scheme. Our initial thoughts are external tactics, rightfully so, but what if the missing link were actually staring back at you in the mirror?

Maintaining physical and mental health is crucial for a business owner to perform at their best and achieve their goals, not only for them personally but also those who depend on them.

Sheley has looked up to today’s guest, Ashley Wiens, for a while and has been following her competitive fitness journey which has now changed to profession. Ashley is an online nutrition and fitness coach and personal trainer who specializes in neuromuscular reeducation to help clients build lean muscle, lose body fat, and get out of pain through corrective exercise. Ashley has over six years experience working as a health and fitness coach and has helped thousands of clients. She is also a former D1 college basketball athlete, an IFBB figure pro, and a cover model.

Ashley is a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and she discusses how a knee injury ended her college basketball career, yet opened a new door to opportunities. She enrolled in a bikini competition and got hooked on competition which led to changing her career path.
