Hi! I’m Ashley

A woman with dark hair tied back, wearing a black and white striped turtleneck, sits at a wooden table with a silver MacBook, a green notebook, a red pen, and a smartphone in an office or cafe setting with a concrete wall in the background.

Let me be honest, I’ve never been good at small talk.

From a young age, I’ve been a seeker, always wanting to take a deeper look and try and understand what was below the surface and why things are the way that they are.

I’ve used writing as a way to help me make better sense of the world and work through whatever experiences I was having. Writing helps me get out what I’m wrestling with inside! (Sharing it with others helps me feel less alone)

Like many fellow type-A, first born daughters, I’m a recovering perfectionist.

I’ve spent most my life making plans and setting high expectations for my life….only to realize very often God has had different ideas.

I’m currently learning to surrender and embrace the beauty in the unexpected and the messy.

Life often isn't easy, but God is good.

After sixteen years living in Brooklyn, NY, I’ve returned home to Kansas City where I live with my hard working husband and three kids. One of which blesses the world with his extra chromosome.

I deeply believe no matter what challenge you may be facing, there is alway reason for joy. I hope my words help you feel seen, and less alone.

We are in this motherhood journey together.
