Last week I said that I'd be taking a break until September 2nd unless something really, really important happened that I needed to share -- and it did. I was called back by my cat Talluah and a story that truly blew my mind when I needed a miracle. Her specific instructions: "share this on the podcast." And so, here's it is. Listen with an open heart, open mind and deep respect and love for animals, our familiars.

Ashley opens today by unpacking the title itself — born out of a season of receiving more than she knows what to do with, and the slow work of learning to work with it differently. It's uncomfortable to go slow but also so important.

Recorded just after the eclipse, she leads a Line Activation for this moment, then leaves listeners with a single question to sit with far longer than it takes to ask: How do you want to live? Not in the abstract — look at it area by area. Your family, if you have kids. Your relationship. Your friendships. Your alone time. Your work. Are you happy living the way you're actually living? These are easy questions to wave off. This episode is an invitation to go deeper instead.

She shares a little of where she's at right now, too, before a gentle sign-off until September. She may take a couple of weeks away — unless something important comes through sooner — but either way, she'll be back for Akashic guidance.

Authenticity is the north node, not the south. Most people have this backwards, and it's why the self that feels most familiar is so often the one they've already completed. In this episode, Ashley looks at where you're still operating as a past version of yourself, and why intuition gets stronger as layers of identity and ego come off. You're not developing a new skill. You're removing what was covering it. She also tells the story of the bats: a humane trap set for what she was certain was a mouse, a quiet knowing that there were babies inside, and the maternity colony she found roosting in the beams. She knew. She didn't trust it.

In this month's Akashic guidance episode, Ashley opens the Records and channels the energy of August — a month of real, felt change. It's the season of shifting, and the guidance is clear: move through it one step at a time, steady rather than rushed. Ashley also shares an honest look at the past week and a bit, including what she's navigated since returning from her break.

Hi there - it's Ashley. To my surprise, and possibly yours too, we're taking a summer break. Just a two week pause, for the rest of this Mercury retrograde and the rest of this month.

I'm moving through some things right now that are growing me, expanding my capacity, and inviting me to do things very differently. To give myself space to process, and to truly receive what's coming through.

I feel like I'm learning two things for the first time in my life. The first is my feminine energy. Being slow, soft, in flow, letting things unfold instead of rushing them with force and control. The second is self possession. Staying within myself, drawing a line and staying there. It feels like a rootedness in the pit of my stomach. My spine is tall, and there's no pride in it, just sureness. And at the same time, I can feel that it's not ready yet. I need to be quiet for a couple of weeks and let this move through me.

The Live Authentic Challenge keeps going while I'm quiet. We're stepping into week three, the threshold. We'll look honestly at the gap between where you are and what you want, and where you can take responsibility for doing it differently while still honoring divine timing. We'll practice energetic check ins. And we'll explore the threshold itself, what it looks like when your nervous system is expanding to hold more, and what it means to stand in your middle space, that place where you can see clearly how you used to do it, how you're growing, and where you're going. This challenge is timeless. It lives inside GUIDED, we'll be revisiting it through August, and you are not late. Join us anytime.

I'll see you back here on July 29 with the Akashic guidance for August. That's the full moon in Aquarius, the one that opens eclipse season. Have a beautiful two weeks. I'll see you soon!

Ashley almost didn't record this episode. But every time she checked in, the answer kept coming: just go try. So this one begins raw and unfiltered — honest emotion, no polish.

After almost a month away, Ashley can finally walk in wild nature again, and it's bringing her back to herself. She shares what that time away revealed, the emotion moving through her right now, and the question this whole episode circles around: what is the gap between your soul desire and actually having it? She offers it to you to sit with, too and at the end, she invites you to leave a voice message for an upcoming Q&A.

The guidance for July is clear. The Records aren't saying, "Here's another lesson." They're saying, you already know. You just haven't been honest enough to choose differently.

This month isn't asking you to figure out what you want. It's asking whether you have the capacity to hold the truth of what you already know.

Can your body hold wanting more?
Can your nervous system receive more?
Can your heart stay open as your life expands?
Can your identity survive becoming the person you've been asking to become?

This is the work of July.

Because telling yourself the truth isn't the hard part. Living it is.

In this month's channeled Akashic guidance, we explore what it means to expand your capacity for truth, stop repeating old patterns, and become someone who no longer argues with what they know deep within themselves.

July is about expanding your capacity to tell yourself the truth, and having the courage to live it.

Today we're talking about authenticity, good girl syndrome, changing your mind, and what happens when you stop apologizing for who you're becoming.

Ashley also shares the story behind the Live Authentic Challenge and invites you to join us for the ultimate summer party kicking off June 29th.
