After turning her life around and becoming the leader of herself, Ashley started a jewelry business called Fierce Forward Jewelry to help people remember and embody their fierceness. Always holding a flame to help people see how powerful they really are, she now loves to share her stories, share about entrepreneurship and help you move forward in the ways she has learned through her own experience.
If you're craving more truth, realness, and authenticity, the Fierce Forward Podcast is an invitation each week to step up to the plate, be your fiercest self NOW and join me and thousands of other fierce women in being the lighthouse for truth, authenticity, and freedom.
For so many of us — especially women who care deeply — we've been taught to keep the peace, to avoid conflict, to stay small so everyone else feels comfortable.
In this powerful and personal episode, Ashley opens up about her own recent growth around boundaries, truth, and stepping fully into her light. She shares what it feels like to stop over-giving, to stop rescuing, and to finally stand firm in who you are — even when it makes others uncomfortable.
You'll walk away feeling seen, stronger, and ready to take up the space you were always meant to.
✨ In this episode, you'll learn:
Why people-pleasing often masquerades as peace
How to release guilt when you start standing in your truth
What real peace feels like — and how to choose it over false harmony
Why the people meant for you will never need you to shrink
💬 Ashley's Fierce Reminder:
"You are not here to make everyone comfortable — you are here to be the fullest expression of who you are."

Be The Leader of Your Own Life (Quickie Episode!)
No one is coming to lead your life for you.
No one's going to hand you permission, validation, or clarity.

She shares what stepping into self-leadership looks like in real life: taking radical responsibility for your choices, following through on what matters, and learning to trust yourself — even when no one else sees the vision yet.
This is your reminder that leadership doesn't start when others follow — it starts when you do.

How to stop outsourcing your power to others

Letting Go Is How You Level Up
Letting go sounds simple—until you're standing in front of something you've outgrown, and your hands just won't release.
In this raw and heartfelt episode, Ashley opens up about a recent season of change inside her business and life that taught her one of the most powerful truths we can learn: letting go isn't losing—it's making space for what's next.
You'll hear her walk through the real emotions behind release—the fear, the resistance, and ultimately, the freedom that follows when you finally trust yourself enough to let go.
This short episode will help you breathe deeper, loosen your grip, and remember that growth only happens when you create room for it.
✨ In this episode, you'll learn:
Why holding on keeps you from rising higher
How to reframe letting go as an act of trust, not loss
What happens energetically when you release what's no longer aligned
The peace that follows when you make space for your next level
💬 Ashley's Fierce Reminder:
"You can't rise if you're gripping the ground. Letting go is how you level up."
💎 Gemstone Connection:
If you're walking through your own season of release, Ashley recommends connecting with Smoky Quartz—a grounding stone that helps you release what no longer serves you and root back into calm strength.
Explore the Smoky Quartz Collection at fierceforward.com and find the piece that reminds you to trust, release, and rise.

You're ready to move on from something that feels heavy—or you're craving clarity, peace, and a sense of lightness again.
