    What happens when empathy isn't a superpower—but a silent trap? In this heart-tugging, brain-sparking episode of Life as P..., Phoenix Ash holds nothing back.

She’s getting real about how being the “safe place” can become unsafe for you—and why letting go doesn’t always mean giving up. Expect sharp self-reflection, dating drama with a moral compass, and that Phoenix-level maturity check we all secretly need. Bonus?

  • Pain for Progress

    Pain for Progress
    May 29 2025
    Ever get hit with a pain so real it feels like the universe just flipped your table and screamed, “Time to level up”? In this raw and revelatory episode, Phoenix Ash digs into the hurt — the kind that rewrites your diet, breaks your heart, checks your empathy, and still somehow becomes your teacher. From stomach cramps to soul shifts, Phoenix shares how pain is often the plot twist life uses to get us to our next chapter. Whether it’s a messy breakup, a medical scare, or a creative block that won’t budge, pain’s got one job: make you pay attention. And spoiler — it’s doing it really well. She’s breaking it down like only P can — no fluff, no pity parties, just the truth about how the pressure of pain creates diamonds… and also gives you a way better book ending.

  • Be the A**hole

    Be the A**hole
    May 28 2025
    Sometimes being the “nice one” just isn’t it. In this episode, Phoenix Ash unpacks the tightrope walk between compassion and cold-blooded boundary-setting. Whether it’s dodging DMs from old flings with nostalgia amnesia, managing work chaos with surgical precision, or parenting with love and a firm “because I said so” — your girl is calling out the real: being labeled the a**hole might just mean you’re finally taking care of yourself. Phoenix spills on how being direct isn’t being rude, it’s being real. From shady text messages to toddler negotiations to co-worker time warpers, this episode is full of that energy. Think less people-pleasing, more peace-keeping (by any grown-ass means necessary).

  • Survival of the Spirit

    Survival of the Spirit
    Apr 30 2025
    Clock’s ticking, society’s shouting, and meanwhile your spirit’s just trying to survive the madness. In this heartfelt yet hilariously real episode of Life as P..., Phoenix Ash returns after a break, reminding us all that life doesn’t care about our timelines — and neither should we. From career dreams delayed to pandemic-triggered reality checks, Phoenix lays bare the art of trusting time (even when it feels like it's ghosting you). She dishes on parenting, love, writing, and all the societal "rules" she shredded on her way to living her life, not the world’s checklist. Feeling behind? Perfect. You’re exactly where you need to be.

    Follow the vibe, drop the timeline, and let your spirit survive and thrive. ✨ Scoop up Phoenix Ash’s amazing books right here: Phoenix Ash on Amazon
