Faqs
freqently asked questions
Are you actually a therapist?
I am a real, trained therapist with a Master’s degree in my craft and 13+ years experience working 1:1 with clients. I bring my expertise in psychology, the nervous system, and trauma-informed therapeutic support to everything I do — it just doesn’t feel like therapy because I understand your business, reciprocate your vulnerability with my own, and I’ll absolutely call you out on your bullshit ;)
Do you offer free discovery calls before I book?
I know you might have questions or want to ‘catch the vibe’ before committing to work together, so I absolutely do offer ways to connect before you work with me in a Studio Session, in Deep Cuts or in The Green Room.
We can do that with a free introduction call, or we can chat on Voxer so we don’t have to fuck around with schedulers. Send me a message above and let me know that you’d like to meet, and we’ll get it sorted!
Which offer is right for me, Deep Cuts, The Green Room, Studio Sessions, or Mixtape?
It all depends on what you’re looking for and what feels like a comfortable starting point. Mixtape is the self-paced, on-your-own audio course that gives you the foundation — the psychology, the nervous system work, the self-coaching framework — that you can build on independently or, eventually, with me in Deep Cuts. Jumping right into Deep Cuts means you get all of that applied specifically to your life and your business, and booking The Green Room means you get all that on a lightning-fast timeline. Studio Sessions is meant to solve one problem right now so you can stop spiraling and start feeling good without a big commitment.
Do you work with people who are *not* entrepreneurs?
Actually, yes — while the majority of my clients are women running their own businesses, I also work with ambitious, high-achieving women outside the entrepreneurial space.
So if everything you’re reading has you thinking “damn, she’s speaking *right* to me,” but you’re not an entrepreneur — don’t let that stop you from reaching out!
Are you available to speak on my podcast, at my event, or with my community?
Absolutely! I’m available for speaking engagements and interviews here in Colorado and worldwide. You can learn more about my signature talks and the process for hiring me to speak here.
Hi, I'm
Ash mcdonald
the Therapist x Business Mentor mash-up you didn’t know existed, and now know you need in your life.
Because who else is going to process the identity crisis underneath your burnout and then help you write the email that closes the sale in the same session?
Who else is going to sit with you in your deepest emotional unraveling one day, and the next, look at your offer suite and tell you exactly what to fix?
You can’t separate the business from the personal. And with me, you don’t have to.
