In this soul-nourishing episode, Pam chats with photographer and creative storyteller Ashley G, who shares her journey of self-expression through imagery, social media, and the quiet magic of daily rituals.

Key Takeaways:
* Romanticizing life can enhance personal expression.
* Creativity can manifest in various forms, not just traditional art.
* Everything in life can be viewed as a work of art.
Bio:
Ashley G. Garner is a professional photo/videographer based in North Andover, MA (and in the last few years, now a drone pilot!).
Raised in western North Carolina, Ashley grew up weaving fantasy with reality and exploring all kinds of creative outlets. She went to college at FIU in Miami for art history and fine art photography while working as a fashion model. After graduation, Ashley moved to NYC where she built a career in art photography while working in sales and marketing.
In 2020, burned out on the city, Ashley decided to trade in her fast-paced life for one closer to nature. Today she lives in Massachusetts with her husband and cats, working in marketing, making art, gardening, or out exploring.
