I'm Ashley!
I'm the outside friend you call when you want honesty, not a pep talk.
You may know me from my podcast, Wine Not Talk About It, or maybe you found me through socials, a friend, or a rabbit hole you don’t remember falling into. However you got here — I’m really glad you’re here.
What I actually do
I help people make sense of whatever they’re navigating — work, life, relationships, decisions, overwhelm, “should I blow up my entire career or am I just tired?” moments… all of it.
For over a decade, I worked with founders, CEOs, and small teams, helping them sort things out — professionally and personally. Decisions, dynamics, people, patterns, sticky situations… all of it. And honestly? The part that mattered most was never the systems or surface solutions — it was the perspective.
People come to me for honesty, tell-it-like-it-is feedback, and my ability to say what others won't.
So, I built The Edit: real conversations, real insight, lots of fun, and absolutely no BS.
Not therapy. Not coaching. Not corporate consulting.
Just the kind of perspective you get from a best friend… except I’m on the outside, so I can actually tell you the truth.
How I got here (the short version)
I’ve worn a lot of hats — business owner, strategist, consultant, creator, employee, manager, and more.
Every chapter taught me something about:
→ How people think
→ Why we get stuck
→ What makes life feel harder than it needs to be
→ And how to actually move forward without burning it all down (cus who needs that drama?)
Now I use all of that to help people see their situations more clearly — and make confident decisions that feel like them, not what they’re “supposed” to do.
I'm in my Authentic Era, so come join me!
What I believe
✨ You’re not a mess — you’re just too close to your own life
✨ Perspective changes everything
✨ Honest conversations make things lighter
✨ You deserve to feel like your life actually fits you
✨ And sometimes you just need someone to look at the whole picture and say: “Okay… here’s what’s actually going on”
