Too Authentic Podcast

In this final episode of the year, Ashley Monique takes her victory lap — not from a place of perfection, but from a place of persistence. Victory Lap is a raw, honest year-end reflection on growth, healing, motherhood, grief, joy, and learning how to truly show up for yourself.

Ashley reflects on a year that required her to stretch — emotionally, spiritually, and personally. From navigating motherhood and managing her emotions as a single mom, to finding joy in the small moments, rediscovering herself outside of survival mode, and stepping outside of her comfort zone professionally and creatively.

This episode holds space for both gratitude and grief — honoring the losses, the lessons, and the love that shaped the year. Ashley speaks candidly about learning to celebrate herself, writing love letters to who she’s becoming, and finding balance without guilt. It’s about recognizing how far you’ve come, even if you’re still on the journey.

Victory Lap is a reminder that growth doesn’t always look loud — sometimes it looks like consistency, courage, and choosing yourself again and again. This episode invites listeners to pause, reflect, and give themselves credit for surviving, healing, and evolving through it all.

Because sometimes the win isn’t the destination — it’s realizing you kept going. 🖤

In this episode of Too Authentic Podcast, Ashley Monique dives into the theme of Purpose in the Pause;the beauty of slowing down, sitting still, and allowing clarity to rise in the quiet moments. She opens up about confronting fear, honoring stillness, and recognizing how the pauses in life often reveal the next step in our purpose.

This episode is a soft reminder that growth doesn’t only happen in motion sometimes, it happens in the stillness.

Sometimes God slows you down on purpose. Not to punish you — but to prepare you.

In this episode, Ashley-Moniique opens up about what this season of stillness has been revealing — from unexpected pauses like her furlough, to the quiet lessons hidden in life’s slow moments. She reflects on what it means to trust God’s timing when everything around you feels uncertain and how to find purpose in the pause.

This one’s for anyone who’s been feeling stuck, silent, or unsure — a gentle reminder that peace can live right in the middle of your waiting season.

Be still and know… the purpose is already unfolding. 🌿

Psalm 46:10

In this episode of Girl Talk, Ashley and Amanda dive into their unforgettable experience at the Breezy Bowl — from snagging tickets and planning outfits to the energy of the concert itself. Beyond the laughter and concert recaps, the two open up about navigating life during the government furlough and finding moments of joy and gratitude in uncertain times.

This conversation is all about resilience, community, and remembering to dance through the chaos...because sometimes, joy really is the best rebellion.

In this heartfelt episode, Ashley-Moniique reflects on the changing seasons of life — not just in weather, but in the soul. Just as the world shifts from one season to the next, she opens up about the emotional transitions that come with healing, single motherhood, and rediscovering self-worth after heartbreak.

She explores the quiet truth that healing doesn’t always mean you’re “over it” — sometimes it means learning how to live through the trigger without losing yourself. Through honest confession, gratitude, and faith, she acknowledges the moments where she wanted to scream “I hate this,” but still found strength to whisper, “Thank you, Lord.”

This episode is a soft reminder that every season has a purpose — some seasons prune us, some prepare us, and some push us into our becoming. And even when it feels like everything is falling, God is still aligning. Growth doesn't always feel good, but it is always working for our good.

n this unapologetically real and reflective episode of Too Authentic, Ashley-Moniique dives into the changing seasons — both in weather and in life. As fall rolls in, she unpacks the way old friends, exes, and faded connections start to spin the block with audacity but no accountability. From “Hey stranger” texts to double taps on old posts, Ashley explores what it really means to stand firm in your boundaries, honor your growth, and recognize when someone’s reappearance has more to do with your glow-up than genuine change.
Through humor, honesty, and a touch of sass, this conversation reminds listeners that closure isn’t owed, peace is personal, and sometimes, people only circle back because they realize your energy was the blessing all along.

In this unfiltered but love filled conversation, Ashley Moniique shares her thoughts on the viral Cardi B clip that’s had social media buzzing. She makes it clear, this isn’t about dragging Cardi (Ashley’s still a fan!), it’s about the bigger lesson for all of us: no partner, no relationship, no new baby can “heal” you. Healing is personal, sacred work that only you and God can do.

Ashley Moniique reflects on how easy it is to ignore red flags when you’re craving love, the double standards we hold for celebrities versus our own family and friends, and the truth that raising children takes more than money or fame. She urges us to protect our hearts, choose ourselves first, and remember: when you know better, you do better. Tune in for a real talk that’s equal parts big sister hug and wake up call.

This episode is a soft landing space for the ones who are always strong, always pouring, and rarely pausing. A Hug for the Strong Friend dives into the weight of being “the dependable one” and the quiet exhaustion that often comes with it. Together, we explore what it means to create safe spaces in friendships, to let go of unrealistic expectations, and to allow yourself to rest without guilt.

We’ll talk about the power of community — how leaning on others doesn’t make you weak, but actually makes you whole. You’ll hear reminders about showing yourself love in the little ways, opening up when you need support, and trusting that the seeds you planted in spring and summer are about to bloom in this new season of fall.

Most of all, this episode is here to remind you: you are not alone, you are worthy of love and softness, and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. Consider this your hug, your deep breath, and your permission slip to rest.

This week’s episode is a real, raw, and unfiltered check-in. Life has been moving fast, and I’ve been moving with it — from solo dates and concerts to navigating grief and family responsibilities. In the midst of saying I was going to rest, reset, and refill my cup, I found myself running on autopilot with a heavy heart. This conversation is about slowing down, honoring the weight we carry, and remembering that it’s okay to pause when we need to.

I’m sharing my own journey through grief, unexpected loss, motherhood, and still trying to show up for myself. This is your reminder that even in the chaos, you deserve rest. You deserve reflection. You deserve to refill your spirit.

If you’ve been feeling tired, stretched thin, or just moving through the motions, this episode is for you. Let’s reset together.
