Building Real Connection Through Leadership & Intention

With a background that spans competitive sports, international relations, PR, and now tech entrepreneurship, Ashley has always been driven by one core value: meaningful connection. Whether she’s leading her team, raising her children, or building new pathways for digital wellness, Ashley brings clarity, compassion, and conviction to everything she touches.

Anna and Ashley dive into what it takes to create a product rooted in empathy, the realities of raising a company and a family simultaneously, and why human connection — not just scale — should be every founder’s North Star.
