Hi Sunshine! ☀️

Welcome to our first guest episode! We're so excited to bring you Ashley Eckhoff, the queen of the snatched waist and empowering women to shine through conscious movement. Join us as we chat about understanding your worth, finding your identity, balancing our high standards, and Ashleys approach to fitness. 

Meet Ashley: 

Born and raised in Wisconsin, Ashley grew up playing competitive sports. Despite a challenging childhood, her talent as an athlete ultimately resulted in her receiving scholarship offers to nearly every D1 track program in the country.

But beneath the aspirational surface, she was struggling with body dysmorphia - driven by a combination of family dysfunction, unhealthy societal constructs, and a lack of support for her low self-esteem and distress.

Due to her talent and tenaciousness, once at Texas Christian University, she trailblazed as one the fastest freshman in the country, earning invitations to both NCAAs and USA Track and Field National Championships. Perhaps inevitably, at the peak of her racing career, Ashley’s unhealthy relationship to food and her body resulted in a complete physical collapse.

Her racing career over, she was forced to discover who she was outside of her sport. She had to completely redefine her relationship with movement and her body. She sought alternative approaches to working out and began to combine and customize diverse approaches to fitness.
