The sun is starting to set earlier, and the nights are getting darker. 🌙

But even though the days are shortening, there is still so much life happening in these moments.

There is something about the changing of seasons that reminds me that things

Back-to-school season comes with a lot of questions for our kids.

“How was school?”
“Did you behave?”
“Do you have homework?”
“What did you learn?”

And usually… we get:

“Good.”

That feeling when summer starts to slip away… ☀️🍎

There’s something about this time of year that feels a little bittersweet.

The slower mornings. The late nights. The beach days. The extra time together.

And then suddenly… sch

Of course we want to protect our kids. 💗

When they’re left out, disappointed, nervous, embarrassed or struggling, every part of us wants to make it better.

Call the parent.
Fix the problem.
Let them quit.
Speak for them.
Remove the discomfor

Excited? Scared? Nervous? All of the above? 😬🌳

We did the high ropes course a few weeks back with our BFF Club girls, and honestly… this night was TOO good for life lessons.

We were sad that not all of our girls could join us with summer t

Parenting while overwhelmed can look a lot like…

Snapping faster.
Correcting more.
Listening less.
Having less patience for the little things.

And right now, parents are carrying a lot.

How many of us had visions, hopes and expectations of what summer was going to look like? 🙋🏻&zwj;♀️

As I watched the kids playing outside the other day, I was reminded of the spaces where things didn’t quite tur

We teach kids how to tie their shoes, do their homework and remember their lunch… but somehow we expect them to just KNOW how to navigate friendships.

And friendships can be complicated — especially as kids get older.

This weekend Poli and I attended a BJJ tournament to support some friends and family. One thing (amongst MANY things) that I learned this weekend is that the conversations that happen BEFORE you step on the mats, and the conversations that follow AFT

Sometimes what looks like “attitude” is actually a child who doesn’t have the words for what’s happening inside. 💗

A Day in the Life of Ashley ☀️🏖️

When I’m not facilitating workshops, planning BFF Club, or supporting women and families, you’ll usually find me right here… soaking up time with the people who matter most.

BFF Club doesn’t stop when the event ends. ⚽️

Tonight, Kaia came out to cheer on her fellow BFF Club girl, Tessa, at her soccer game. 🥹

This is exactly what we hope to create through BFF Club, not just fun activities once a month, but real f

There is something so special about women making time for themselves.

One evening each month.
No pressure.
No expectations.
Just a room full of women showing up exactly as they are.

We laugh until our cheeks hurt. We have conversations that matter.

We put so much pressure on ourselves to get parenting “right.”

But confidence isn’t built by having perfect parents.

It’s built through safe conversations.
Through repair after mistakes.
Through feeling seen.
Through knowing

We often think protecting our mental health means waiting until we’re overwhelmed, burned out, or exhausted.

But the truth is, mental wellness is built long before we reach that point.

It’s found in the everyday choices:

You weren’t meant to do life alone. 💕

Making friends as an adult isn’t always easy.

Between work, family, responsibilities, and life’s endless to-do list, it’s easy to wake up one day and realize you’ve been pouring i
