Episode 80: Is Ayahuasca For You? Here’s My Personal Reflections

About the Episode

Welcome back to the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast! We are back to your normally scheduled weekly episodes as the Momentum Project has come to an end. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and that you received the deepest possible impact.

Needless to say, a lot has happened in the last couple of months…I attended an Ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica, we kicked off and completed the Momentum Project, my family took a quick trip back to the US, and then we arrived in Italy where we’re currently at to host the Revival Retreat.

So, it’s time to catch up and share some really deep and honest reflections. After my Ayahuasca experience, I had this “aha” moment on the streets of NYC feeling so much unexpected relief. I’ve learned I refuse to sacrifice life based on fear or pain. It’s made nomadic living so much more enjoyable… except in Sicily!

Tune in to the episode to find out how my family experienced Sicily and if it’s changed our future as nomads.

As I said in the episode, “fear is the bridge between where I am now and where I’m meant to be.”

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here. I am emotional in my luteal phase, but feeling so. damn. grateful.

MEET your shit-talking host

Hey, I’m Ash — and I’m the Entrepreneur’s Therapist.

And this podcast is the one to binge so you can finally do that.

That’s a title I’ve earned by building multiple 6-figure businesses while raising multiple babies after earning multiple degrees in my craft as a trained and expert therapist.

No shade to all the “help you through your burnout” podcasts where the hosts actually don’t have training and tell you “just do less!” — wait, scratch that… actually ALL THE SHADE to them because that advice? For a woman like you? Fuck that.

As shamelessly ambitious women, we don’t want less. We want to find contentment in the chaos. We want to feel good as we do all the things we care about and love pouring into.
