Guest:

Ashley Vachon Sweeney is the author of You Are Worthy of Happiness: 31 Days of Encouragement to Become Your Best Self, a daily guide built around healing, growth, resilience, and learning to recognize your own worth. Drawing from truths that helped her through challenging seasons in her own life, Ashley offers practical encouragement for anyone ready to quiet the self-doubt, move forward, and become a stronger version of themselves.

With a background spanning fashion, beauty, aesthetics, marketing, and relationship-building, Ashley brings a real-world perspective to personal growth; less preaching, more encouragement. Her message is simple but easy to forget: happiness isn’t something you have to earn, and sometimes becoming your best self starts with believing you’re worthy of it in the first place.
