This episode is one of those conversations that just hits different. I’m joined by the incredible Ashley Strong Smith—host of Living an Intentional Life, former award-winning photographer, mama, fire wife, and a woman who has completely redefined what it means to live fully and intentionally.
Ashley shares how a single question—"Are you just existing or are you fully living?"—changed the entire trajectory of her life. And friend, if you’ve ever looked around and thought, “My life looks great… but why does it still feel off?”—this episode is for you.
Let’s talk about the quiet dissatisfaction that ambitious women often feel:
✅ You’ve built the career you dreamed of
✅ You’ve got the beautiful family
✅ You’ve checked all the boxes...
...but something’s still missing.
In this episode, Ashley and I talk about what it really means to live with intention, how to get honest about what you really want (even if it’s different from what you wanted five years ago), and how to start making small changes today that lead to a life you’re in love with—not just surviving through.
