Summary
EP 469. It’s been 2 years since Ashleigh was last on the show and almost 4 years since she self-published her wildly popular book, ‘Swing: A Memoir of Doing It All’, so there’s lots to catch up on! Ashleigh covers tons of ground and deep dives into her recent divorce, relating how it’s led to more personal growth than ever for her. They both discuss the complexities of motherhood, guilt around traditional roles, and the hard-fought self-permission to change—something Ashleigh embraced wholeheartedly after her split. She’s also concentrated more of her time on coaching aspiring writers—a true passion of hers—to get their books written and published. This episode is full of powerful reflections on self-worth, personal growth, and the freedom to break societal norms—don’t miss it!

| 0:00.0 | Is drinking raw milk safe like RFK Jr. suggests? Can you reduce a glucose spike if you eat your food in, quote, unquote, the right order? I'm registered dietitian Abby Sharp. I host a nutrition myth-busting podcast called Bite Back with Abby Sharp. And those are just some of the questions I tackle with qualified experts on my show. |
| 0:21.4 | There is so much food misinformation and disinformation out there, and it can feel impossible |
| 0:27.9 | to know what's real and what's BS. |
| 0:30.7 | On Biteback, my goal is to help listeners create a pleasurable relationship with food, |
| 0:35.3 | their body, and themselves, which in my opinion is the |
| 0:38.6 | fundamental secret to good health. Listen to bite back wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:44.9 | This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. Welcome to the mom room, Ashley. I'm so excited to have you back. Actually, before I pressed |
| 1:04.1 | record, I wanted to figure out when you were last on the podcast. Do you remember? Yeah, it was just over two |
| 1:10.3 | years ago. Okay, that is wild. |
| 1:13.8 | Like, I would have guessed, like, oh, last year or something, but no, time flies. No, like our |
| 1:19.3 | podcast episode is a toddler now. It's like almost two and a half years old. Yeah. And you want |
| 1:24.3 | to know what's so wild is the guy that works with me, Sean, |
| 1:29.2 | he always is looking at analytics of everything for the podcast. And randomly on YouTube, |
| 1:36.1 | I always just throw up my episodes on YouTube. Your episode in the last few months, |
| 1:43.6 | for some reason, is almost at like 10,000 views. |
| 1:46.9 | Really? And it's bumped these last few months. Okay, this is the thing, Renee, and it's an |
| 1:53.0 | interesting thing. A lot of people whose shows I've been on, my episode is one of their best episodes. |
| 2:00.6 | Yes. |
| 2:01.1 | And I'm not the most famous person they've interviewed, but when people go down an |
| 2:06.4 | Ashley rabbit hole, they go down and they listen to everything. |
