Hi! I'm Big Ashley.
I’m a certified professional life coach, writer, artist, and wife, with a passion for helping people to heal their pain, build confidence, and conquer fears –because before I learned how to do what I do now, I was right where you are.
I’m here to tell you that…
WE ARE NOT THAT MUCH DIFFERENT.
There is a way out for you too. There is hope and something better on the other side of this paradoxical life we find ourselves in.
I’m proof that you can find strength in yourself no matter how bad things seem to be going. I started out just like anyone else, with amazing potential and dreams for my future, but I let life affect me in ways that nearly destroyed me. Fear took over and I quit on myself.
I thought I was doomed to live out a mediocre life filled with regret, but thankfully, I found hope and turned it into my one true way of finding love and success.
No matter what the challenge is that you're facing today, tomorrow will always bring you an opportunity to make peace with it; And I want to show you how.
Big Ashley
My Secret Facts
Although these facts have embarrassed me most of my life, it was overcoming these obstacles that shaped me into who I am today.
Early Childhood
I grew up extremely poor--with a drug addicted mother, absent father, and abusive step father.
Luckily, my dad eventually stepped in and took me out of that environment; but being ripped away from my mom (on top of everything else I had been through as a child) left scars so deep that they stayed with me most of my life.
I would spend years quietly crying for my mom, years trying to hide my impoverished background from friends, and years feeling like I wasn't good enough to be loved.
Myspace.com
At 15 years old, as a means of escape, I hopped on the internet and unintentionally attracted an audience so big, that I actually had "fans" that would come up to me in public and ask for pictures.
But with internet fame, also came an even more intense level of bullying and rumors.
Being young, depressed, and insecure --it all began to feel harder and harder to hide who I was outside of my online persona.
So I eventually decided to log off of that chapter of my life for good.
I said goodbye to the clout, the fakeness, and the ego.
Healing
After years of failed relationships, heartbreaks, and trauma... I decided that enough was enough.
As I began to look inward and heal those broken parts of me, my outside world started to blossom quickly.
Beautiful things started showing up in my life, but my greatest manifestation is easily my relationship with my loving husband, who further empowers me to be the best version of myself every day.
I am so happy and fulfilled in my life, that I was inspired to come back online and use my passions to teach you how to get here too!
Meet Ashton!
I’m completely flawed, completely human, sometimes lazy, but 100% real. Although most of my peers know me as a business man and entrepreneur, I don’t consider myself to truly be either of those things. Those things just pass the time and enable me to live a low stress life-style while being able to take care of my duties as a man. Im really just a simple dude who puts his ketchup on the side, loves to play basketball for fun, loves his partner and family, and spends most of his time sitting in a hammock and reading books.
I’m not a certified life coach, relationship specialist, or anything of the sorts. I just like to share my thoughts based on my own personal experiences.
