We are having a conversation today about time and we will start with the undeniable truth, time is our most valuable asset.

 

In this episode of the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast, I’m talking about your relationship with time and time scarcity. What we choose to believe in and put energy towards are the things that we end up manifesting. When those negative thoughts creep up we have to say to ourselves, “I do have control of my energy. I can't create more time, but I can create more energy, which allows me to utilize my time in a more expansive way.” Tune in to learn exactly how I’ve changed my beliefs around time and energy to live a life full of limitless possibilities.

 

Thanks for listening!

TOPICS DISCUSSED

 

• Why time is sacred
• Evaluating your relationship with time scarcity
• The ways you can create more energy
• How we can only see what is meant for us
• Why your energy is your best business strategy

We live in a society where no matter what goal we set, the goalpost always moves the minute we hit it. Am I right? So I am here today to talk about celebration and receiving. 

 

We often question ourselves and our success. This recently happened to me and I realized I felt uncomfortable receiving help – or even receiving compliments. I was feeling like my success was not real. And, I realized that I had to change the narrative to celebrate all wins, no matter how big or small. 

 

In this episode of the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast, I’m talking about how when we’re not living in alignment we end up missing out on what was meant for us. Remember that who you are is what attracts all that you desire. Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here.

TOPICS DISCUSSED

 

• My business growth over the past few years
• Why I was questioning my success
• How you’re receiving things in your life (and business)
• Gratitude and celebration for what comes in and what goes out

In this episode we’re having a really honest, raw, real conversation about MONEY.

 

Y’all, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to talk about. We’re going deep into what it looks like to make money differently and really live in abundance. So, I invited one of my dearest friends and mentors, Jenn Kennedy, to the podcast to make sure I REALLY dug deep into this topic. 

 

You and I both know, money can bring up a lot of feelings of both shame and guilt. And, we’re all about ditching shame here on the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast. ;) As Jenn says in the episode, “If we have doubts, or fears, or shame, or guilt around money, that's programmed in our mind. And until we shift that programming, we can't shift our outside reality.” In this episode, you’ll really find out the best ways to shift your mindset and beliefs around money and come out the other side a woman who believes she can truly have it all.

 

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here.

TOPICS DISCUSSED

 

• Jenn’s experience with money
• Healing your relationship with money
• Seeing money as an amplifier 
• How Jenn manages her money as a millionaire
• Being an ambitious woman
• Having intention when spending money
• Scarcity, neutrality, & abundance
• How + why the universe favors bold moves

You may have noticed (or let’s be real - you’re probably as busy as me and had no idea!) that last week a new episode of Shamelessly Ambitious didn’t come out as it normally does. I changed my mind about recording last week’s episode because I was sick, slammed with behind-the-scenes tasks getting ready for our move to Costa Rica, and simply could not fit it in without stressing myself to the max. In the past, I would have pushed through at all costs... But I dropped the “I do hard things” motto after finally realizing that’s how I kept ending up in burnout over, and over again.

 

Which brings me to this episode, where I’m talking about the actual key to preventing and fighting off burnout. And it's not what you’d expect!

 

My anti-burnout remedy is not about doing MORE self-care. My friend, today I want to introduce you to the concept of emotional power and truly invite you to recognize that your emotional power has the greatest impact on your business and ability to thrive. 

 

Being a CEO requires you to have perseverance. In order to be someone who can persevere, you have to be standing in your highest power. Perseverance is not “doing it no matter what” - it's doing it in alignment and doing what feels good. It's honoring your highest energy and owning your emotional power. Tune in to learn all the juicy details! Thanks for listening.

 

TOPICS DISCUSSED

 

• Signs that you might be experiencing burnout
• What causes burnout
• Taking back your emotional power

As you know, the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast is all about bringing guests to the forefront who can help us remember that we can do business differently, ditch the shame, and experience wild success. Hear me when I say this… success is different for everybody. That doesn't mean it's perfect. SUCCESS and PERFECTION are not the same. I think we all need that reminder. 

 

So, today I’m talking to my dear friend & client, Katie Grimes. This woman has a gift for tying LOVE into BUSINESS. And when I say that, I mean that she has the ability to help women and men discover love in their lives, and also to discover and find love within their business. As a holistic business coach, I’ll repeat once again, life, love, and business are all deeply connected. Everything comes together, and Katie does it so brilliantly.

 

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here.

TOPICS DISCUSSED

 

• What love addiction really is and how it affects all people from all backgrounds
• The direct correlation between how you feel in love and how you feel in business
• How Katie is doing business differently in her coaching business
• How cycle syncing has impacted Katie’s schedule
• Shame as an entrepreneur and how to work through it
• Lessons in life that will make you better at what you do and who you are
• Being unapologetically yourself to attract the rig

Today’s guest is truly extraordinary and you’re in for a real treat with this conversation. I’m so excited to share more with you about the masculine & feminine from the standpoint of sexuality and how you can use this to boost your business, because yes, they are related even more than you know.

 

In this episode of the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast I’m talking to Ashae Sundara, a feminine leadership coach for women entrepreneurs, an artist, and a 7-figure mentor for sovereign souls devoted to love and liberation.

 

With erotic embodiment, devotion to spirit, and mastery of the quantum, she’s served thousands of feminine entrepreneurs and helped them to blow up their business, spice up their sex lives, and achieve wildly abundant wealth. As Ashae says in this episode “You can follow the rhythm of how life is asking your body to go and still have the wealth you want. Your body's a guide for what you are meant to do.” No wonder I was so attracted to her from the start - a successful entrepreneur who’s living in alignment with her body? YES PLEASE. There is not a single woman out there who won’t benefit from what Ashae has to say.

 

Thanks for listening & thanks for being here.

Welcome back to the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast. Today’s episode is an interview with my husband and I am so excited to share it with you all! We recently celebrated 8 years of marriage, 12 and a half years together in total, and some major business & life milestones. 

 

If you’ve been hanging out here - you’ve heard that these celebrations don’t come without their fair share of hardships, as well. Jake and I are sitting down to recap everything we’ve been through together and give you our take on what it means to be both ambitious and devoted in our relationship. 

 

We’re talking about all the juicy stuff: what it's been like being married to me, how parenting does NOT come naturally to either of us, how we handle guilt and judgment from others to ultimately put our relationship first, and so much more. I want to get into it shamelessly, have the conversations that more people ought to be having, and maybe spark conversations between you and your partner as well. 

 

So without further ado, tune in and meet my husband: Jake. We’re so excited to have you here!

TOPICS DISCUSSED

 

• What it’s like being married to a shamelessly ambitious woman
• Jake’s advice for the men who are struggling with their partner’s success 
• How you can take radical responsibility and support your partner

Oh my goodness, I am so stinking excited. In this episode of the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast we're here to talk to my real-life therapist: Andi Johnson! She’s a licensed marriage & family therapist and certified coach who works mostly with high-functioning, ambitious women that feel like they just want to live DEEPER and go FURTHER. 

 

We're going to reimagine what therapy can and ought to look like for you and for everybody.

 

Before we get started, I want you to know (if you don’t already) that I, Ash, am a therapist by trade, I've had many therapists, and I'm so so giddy and happy to admit that Andi is by far the best therapist I've ever worked with, which is also why I had to have her on the show. 

 

Get ready to reimagine therapy and understand the duality of being an ambitious woman. 

 

I’m so glad you’re here.

• Ambitious women that feel guilty about desiring more
• Healing as a journey and not a destination
• Creating content that is impactful and makes your ideal client feel like you’re THE ONE
