Authentically Ashlyn

Whether needing an audio workout buddy, a friend in your ear over coffee, or a virtual sister to throw back a glass of wine with, Ashlyn's got your back. Authentically Ashlyn is not your typical female-led personal development podcast. The audio provided here may make you cringe, make you laugh, teach you something special or offend you ever-so-slightly. This may not be the self-help podcast you share with your religious bestie who preaches all things holy, your uptight Grandmother, or your sweet (or not so sweet) mother-in-law: there are plenty of personal development podcasts on the market for that. This is, however, a podcast that sparks conversation amongst friends beyond the monotony talks of marriage and children. This is a podcast that pairs well with an Aperol Spritz… or a 9 PM bedtime. This is a podcast that flames your once-forgotten fire to inspire you to grow, level up, and laugh along the way to becoming your best self.If you’re looking for personal growth with a littl

  E226 - Friendship Philosophies

  Aug 12, 202651 min

  Ashlyn is back with her ultimate wing woman, Daija, and this time they’re putting one of the most important relationships in their lives on trial: friendship. Fresh off Ashlyn’s birthday bash surrounded by her besties, the girls are breaking down their ultimate red and green flags for what makes a friendship actually good. They’re talking about how to find your people as an adult, how to turn new connections into genuine friendships, and what it takes to keep those relationships strong when life inevitably gets messy. But not every friendship crime gets off with a warning. Ashlyn and Daija are putting some of the biggest friendship offences on trial, from flakiness and one-sided relationships to jealousy, bad communication, and the dreaded friend who disappears the second they get a boyfriend. Which ones are guilty of killing the vibe? Which ones get a pass? And which ones deserve to be immediately escorted out of the group chat? Because the right friendships can completely change your life and the wrong ones can drain the ever-loving hell out of you. Grab your bestie, call your lawyer, and let’s put friendship on trial. -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Merriman is a mom, a business owner, and a lifelong proponent of growth, self-discovery, and new experiences.

  E225 - Keeping Up With The Kar-Daij-Ash-ians: July Edition

  Aug 5, 20261h 7m

  The Kar-Daij-Ash-ians are back, and this catch-up goes completely off the rails in the best way possible. Ashlyn and Daija are spilling the tea on everything that's been happening lately—from relationship updates and dating adventures to fitness wins, business chaos, and all the random rabbit holes they somehow end up in. As always, nothing is off limits, and the girls aren't exactly known for having a filter. This episode gets a little racier than usual as they tackle your juiciest questions, share a few stories that probably should've stayed in the group chat, and laugh their way through the wonderfully messy reality of life, love, and everything in between. It's honest, hilarious, a little inappropriate, and packed with the kind of unfiltered bestie banter you've come to expect. Pour yourself a drink, lock the door if the kids are home, and come keep up with the Kar-Daij-Ash-ians. -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Merriman is a mom, a business owner, and a lifelong proponent of growth, self-discovery, and new experiences.

  E223 - Flexible Summer > Fuck It Summer

  Jul 22, 202649 min

  Ashlyn is back with a solo episode to remind you that there are two kinds of summers: a flexible summer and a "fuck it" summer. One builds confidence. The other leaves you wondering why you're starting over every September. In this episode, Ashlyn breaks down why real health isn't built when life is perfectly planned. It's built in the middle of vacations, backyard BBQs, patio drinks, birthday cake, and spontaneous dinner dates. She shares how to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and develop the adaptability that leads to lifelong results instead of short-lived motivation. She dives into the emotional side of eating, the stories we tell ourselves around food, and how our expectations and beliefs shape the choices we make. Ashlyn also unpacks the power of emotional regulation, asking yourself, "Will this choice make me feel better or worse later?" and embracing an AND mentality, where you can enjoy the vacation and pursue your goals, celebrate with your friends and take care of your body. Because the healthiest version of you isn't the one who avoids living. It's the one who learns how to thrive while living. This is your permission slip to enjoy the summer without sacrificing the progress you've worked so damn hard for. -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Merriman is a mom, a business owner, and a lifelong proponent of growth, self-discovery, and new experiences.
