About 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 little punch: this is the show for you.

   E237 - I STILL Talk to Dead People with Clairvoyant Kim

   Just in time for spooky season, Ashlyn is welcoming back one of your favourite podcast besties, Clairvoyant Kim! And you KNOW this isn’t going to be your average catch-up sesh. We’re talking life after death, the afterlife, signs from the universe, and all the mysterious shit that makes you wonder whether there’s a whole lot more happening behind the scenes than we realize. Kim is back with some fascinating new premonitions and experiences, including receiving guidance related to a missing child case. The conversation dives into the unknown, what it might look like to stay connected to the great beyond, and how we can become more aware of the signs, messages, and intuitive nudges that show up in our everyday lives. Ashlyn and Kim also explore the idea that the universe has your back, how to get intentional about manifesting what you truly desire, and why learning to trust yourself might be more powerful than you think. Whether you’re a full-blown believer, a curious skeptic, or someone who’s ever experienced a coincidence that felt a little TOO perfectly timed, this episode will have you questioning what’s possible and paying closer attention to the world around you. So light a candle, get comfy, and maybe leave a few lights on for this one. Clairvoyant Kim is BACK, and things are about to get a little otherworldly.

   E236 - Girl-Splaining: Scale Weight

   You step on the scale, see a two-pound jump overnight, and suddenly you’re convinced all your hard work has gone straight out the window. But before you throw your meal plan in the garbage and declare your fitness journey officially over, let’s talk about what that number is actually telling you. Ashlyn breaks down the myths surrounding scale weight and walks you through all the sneaky culprits behind those frustrating ups and downs. From water retention, hormones, menstrual cycles, sodium, carbohydrates, digestion, and inflammation to the effects of training and recovery, there are SO many reasons your weight can fluctuate that have absolutely nothing to do with gaining body fat. So how accurate is the number on your scale, anyway? And how do you know whether you’re actually making progress when the numbers seem determined to mess with your head? This episode is all about understanding the difference between a normal weight fluctuation and a genuine trend, learning how to weigh yourself more consistently, and looking beyond one random Tuesday morning weigh-in to see the bigger picture. Because your weight is a data point, not a verdict on your progress, your discipline, or your worth. So before you let the scale ruin your day, let Ashlyn give you a little reality check. The number might fluctuate, but that doesn't mean your progress has disappeared.

   E235 - Girl-Splaining: The 5 Components of Fitness

   Ashlyn is back with another round of Girl-Splaining, and this time she’s breaking down the five components of fitness that go way beyond what the scale says or how your ass looks in your favourite leggings. We’re talking muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Five pieces of the fitness puzzle that work together to build a body that doesn’t just look strong, but actually is strong. Ashlyn gets into what each component means, why it matters, and how they all play a role in your overall health, performance, and longevity. Because being fit isn’t just about lifting heavy, running fast, touching your toes, or chasing a certain body fat percentage. It’s about building a body that can do the things you want it to do, whether that means crushing a workout, hauling groceries, keeping up with your kids, or feeling confident in your own skin. Whether you’re a seasoned gym girlie or someone who’s still figuring out the difference between a dumbbell and a kettlebell, this episode will help you understand what you’re actually working toward and where your fitness routine might be missing a piece. Time to stop treating fitness like a one-trick pony and start building the whole damn package. Let’s get into it!
