Workshops and keynotes that offer a blend of business strategy and nervous system support--
for women who are ready to live - and lead - like they mean it.
Within minutes, the energy in the room shifted and women stopped taking notes and started breathing deeper, sitting taller, and leaning in. By the end, every single woman felt more seen, more whole, and more capable of holding what they came in carrying. It wasn’t just powerful, it was unforgettable.”
— Courtney Kindrew, Founder of Rekindled Nurse
“There’s something about Ash that shifts a room.
Ash McDonald is a therapist, nervous system-first business mentor, and speaker known for blending emotional depth with real-world strategy. With over 15 years of experience in the fields of mental health, entrepreneurship, and leadership, she brings a unique ability to hold the room, name what’s unspoken, and guide high-achieving women into grounded, embodied transformation.
Her keynotes are equal parts heart and how-to rooted in story, strategy, and nervous system wisdom that stays with you long after the event ends.
Ash’s talks are a perfect fit for:
✓ Women’s leadership events & masterminds
✓ Wellness or healthcare conferences
✓ Entrepreneurship & business communities
✓ Personal development retreats
✓ Teams or organizations navigating burnout, change, or capacity-building
“It’s rare to leave a workshop and have the takeaways still shaping how you move through your life a week later. Ash’s words haven’t left me, and more importantly, they’ve changed the way I show up for myself.”

This talk shares the raw, real story of what it took to sell everything, live nomadically, homeschool our kids, and then rebuild again. Equal parts personal story and tangible strategy, it offers women a new model for intuitive, values-led living that trusts their own quiet knowing in a world that constantly demands more.
This talk unpacks what it means to live richly—energetically, emotionally, and practically. Based on my Somatic Wealth framework, it offers a new lens for sustainable success rooted in alignment, capacity, and nervous system safety. Attendees will leave with a grounded understanding of their energetic rhythms, practical tools for honoring what they can hold, and full permission to create a life they’re excited to be present for.
We don’t talk enough about the in-between—the space between knowing something has to change and actually making the move. This talk gives women the tools to stay rooted in uncertainty, regulate through transition, and hold themselves through the becoming before the breakthrough.
Sustainable transformation isn’t in the big leap, it’s in the moment-by-moment recalibration
We’ve glorified reinvention. This talk teaches women how real change happens: not in the launch or the breakdown, but in the quiet, daily decision to choose themselves again and again.
