ABOUT SPEAKING

Taking Center Stage Through Key Notes

Some of our biggest issues in the world are rooted in unresolved grief and trauma. With 45-95 minutes, I not only teach the audience the truth about grief (spoiler alert: we've gotten a lot wrong), but also take them on their own personal journey with re-connecting to themselves and exploring layers of healing together.

I bring passion, humor, and powerful energy to the stage every single time I tell my story and share the wisdom I've learned to help others. It's my purpose in life to reach as many people ‍as I can to help them better know how to support themselves through healing, and how to show up for others facing challenges too.

We are all interconnected in this life. By helping one person, we help all. I look forward to hearing about your event and learning how I can create a memorable and life-changing experience for your audience.

See Me in Action

Time is precious, so here is a shorter talk I gave at a Conscious Capitalism event in Atlanta, GA called Sum + Substance if you'd like to view it.  

"Ashley’s talk about her journey of loss and love was one of the most  amazing and impactful talks I have ever had the privilege of hearing.  Her courageous realness and raw sharing of her story shattered me, and  then put me back together.  She left all of us with a question that I have not been able to get out  of my mind—a question that is literally changing the quality of every  interaction I have: How can we love each other better? Every one of us needs to hear her words about empathy, love and giving. Anyone thinking about their purpose will be deeply moved and inspired by Ashley and her amazing work."

— Manya D. from the Women's Purpose Retreat

In addition to key notes, I host purposeful workshops & consult

I've always loved working with people to create incredible experiences that change lives and leave people with meaningful memories that will last a lifetime.

I've worked with the Connection Crew at Culture Con, the Women's Purpose Retreat, and others to create workshops that engage, heal, and inspire all over the country.

If that's something you're interested in, please reach out. The two most requested workshop I lead are: "Resilience: Creating Your Self-Care Toolkit" and "Connection: How We Heal Ourselves and the World."

Now that my book is out into the world, I'm putting a more interactive and experiential spin on consulting and book events with partners across the country.

Partners can be anyone: an individual wanting to bring better grief support to their town, a company looking to expand their culture and open up conversations around grief, or bereavement organizations that want to add value to their community and host an event.

I'm open to speaking on posdcasts, morning shows, news channels (we could use more good things in the news right now), or others media outlets to share about my book and ways to help people in grief. If you have connections, I'm shooting for the stars to get interviews with Oprah, Drew Barrymore, Kelly Clarkson, and Anderson Cooper!
