    In this episode, we’re diving into something a little uncomfortable but so necessary for personal growth: boosting your self-confidence by asking others what they love about you.

    We all struggle with self-doubt and insecurity, myself included. But here’s the secret- what if we could see ourselves the way others see us? Imagine hearing the positive things people love about you and using that to build up your confidence. It’s powerful.

    In this episode, I’ll challenge you to ask someone in your life, “What do you love about me?” or “What do you think I’m really good at?” And I promise you, as uncomfortable as it might feel, it will help shift your self-perception in an incredibly positive way.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Confidence isn’t built in comfort zones - it’s built by doing uncomfortable work.
    • Self-worth is not tied to your appearance or achievements—it’s about how you see yourself.
    • The power of outside perspective: Hearing others’ positive feedback can help you see your strengths.
    • Take action: Ask someone what they love about you, and embrace what they say.
    • Small steps lead to big changes: Celebrate your growth, even if it’s uncomfortable.

    In today’s episode, we’re talking about those moments when you feel completely blocked and unmotivated. Trust me - I’ve been there recently, feeling like there’s a giant Lego brick on my chest and no matter what I do, I can’t seem to get past it. But here’s the truth: you’re not alone.

    Motivation can be elusive, and we all have days when we don’t feel like ourselves. But that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It just means you’re human.

    In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

    • Why it’s normal to feel blocked and how to embrace it
    • The importance of taking small steps when motivation is low
    • How mindset shifts like “What would I do if I wasn’t worried about being perfect?” can help you get out of your head and into action
    • Why sometimes, the best thing you can do is give yourself permission to rest and recharge

    Key Takeaways:

    • Feeling blocked doesn’t mean you’re failing - it’s a normal part of life.
    • Start small -take just one tiny action to build momentum, even when motivation is low.
    • Mindset shift: Focus on how you want to feel, rather than worrying about what you “should” do.
    • Celebrate small wins - even if they feel insignificant. They add up!
    • Rest is key - you don’t have to do it all, and sometimes, taking a break is exactly what you need.

  • 7. Raw & Unedited: How I Finally Started My Podcast After a Year
    May 20 2025

    Send Ashlee a text!

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing something special with you - this is the first episode I recorded over a year ago, and I’ve finally decided to share it with you.

    As a dietitian for over a decade, my mission is to help women break free from diet culture and stop letting the scale control their self-worth. This episode is all about shifting how we think about food, our bodies, and what really matters.

    In this episode, we dive into:

    • Why the scale doesn’t define your worth
    • How to focus on what makes you feel good (instead of obsessing over weight)
    • The truth about why perfection is never required
    • Why society’s “weight loss = happiness” myth is hurting you
    • Your inherent worth has nothing to do with your size
    • Building habits that stick - without guilt, shame, or restriction

    If this episode resonated with you, please share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe.
