*Trigger warning: Alcohol addiction*

In part 2 of the Owning your Story series, I talk about my journey with sobriety.
I share how my dependency with alcohol got started, when I was first confronted about it, when I realized I had an issue with it, how I started my journey with sobriety, the things I found out about my inner circle when I stopped drinking, and address a few things that I am still struggling with in my sobriety journey.

This is definitely a heavy episode, but I am very happy to share my experiences if it can help someone else who is currently going through this as well.

And as always, if you ever want to chat about anything you hear me talk about, you are more than welcome to come chat with me over on Instagram: @therealashleyta

Thank you for listening <3

(Trigger warning)

In this episode, I share more in depth about my experience with the Army (sexual assault trigger warning), I share about my mindset growth through my first two pregnancies, as well as the power I later discovered within myself and my journey.

I haven't really shared to these depths on these topics before, but these are all situations I've faced that are definitely a huge part of my journey, and as hard and as heavy as they are, I am happy to share if it helps someone else.

As I mention in this episode, if you hear anything that you would like to chat more personally about, my DM on Instagram is always open: @therealashleyta

In this episode I share more on reasons your self-doubt is holding you back,
and how you can start working on showing up and the most bad ass, powerful and amazing woman you already are!

If you are anything like me, I am sure at some point you looked at someone who is achieving something (regardless of what is is) and thought, 
"dang, I wish I had their motivation".

Because, yes.. same, I have done the same thing.
But what I have come to learn about motivation has also brought me to understand that the people you see showing up for themselves daily, 
they are NOT motivated all the time.

They have developed their self-discipline to do the things they NEED to do, even on the days they don't necessarily want to do them.

But self-discipline in something you have to practice.
It is a habit that you have to intentionally work on forming.

And in this podcast episode I share with you a little bit on how you can start working on developing your own self-disciple habits, as well as share  a fun way to self-motivate (because you CAN!).

If you enjoy this podcast, please tag me and share on your Instagram stories (I am @therealashleyta), and let me thank you for listening there!

Enjoy!

In this episode I am going to talk about why it's so important to be intentional on creating balance in your day to day life, and how to also go about integrating self-care into your DAILY routines.

I wish there was a cookie cutter answer for everyone on how to achieve this,
but unfortunately there is not. But my hopes with this episode is that it sparks ideas on how to create more balance in your work/personal life as well as the importance of filing your own cup.

Hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, please take a screenshot of the episode and tag me on a story post on Instagram so I can thank you for listening! <3

Are you checking in with yourself?
And I don't mean just causally just thinking about how you feel.
But I mean INTENTIONALLY sitting down and asking yourself some check-in questions to create better self-awareness on what you may be needing more of.
This doesn't have to be a daily thing. You can opt to do this once a week, or twice a week. Whatever feels best to you.
And if you aren't doing this... it's okay.
That's why I wanted to share this episode on what my twice a week check in with myself looks like.

As I said in this episode, here are the check-in questions I use, but feel free to add/remove to create your own self check-in list:

-What is taking up most of my headspace at the moment?
-Am I struggling to keep my daily routine?
 -What am I doing today that makes me happy?
 -Have I been doing any physical activity lately? 
-Am I sleeping well enough at night?
 -Am I eating regularly?
 -Am I fueling my body with the foods it needs to feel good?
-Am I drinking enough water?
 -Am I withdrawing socially?
 -Are my emotions up and down lately?
 -Am I losing interest in activities I usually enjoy? 
-Is there anything else I am noticing about myself?

I really hope this episode of The Power of You podcast resonates with you, and that this could be another powerful practice you add to your day/week.

XO, Ashley

When I first started my journey back in 2014, I had no idea what a "powerful morning routine" looked like. And truthfully, I didn't start actually focusing on creating a morning routine for myself that I was consistent with until about 6-7 years ago.
But ever since I started setting aside time in the morning for me to pour into myself FIRST, it's been a game changer.
In this episode I will discuss the benefits of a powerful morning routine. what a powerful morning routine can look like, and tips on creating your own morning routine you can feel really good showing up to.
So if you're ready... let's dive on in.

Hello, my name is Ashley Ta.
 I started my weight loss journey publicly on Instagram in 2014 after gaining 85 pounds while pregnant with my first baby.
Almost 10 years later (and two more babies), I have successfully kept 90+ pounds off, but more importantly... discovered my own power ✨
I am here to share the discoveries I made, the lessons I've learned and show you how to embrace the power of you no matter where you are at in your own journey.

So excited you're here!
