Vulnerability

Feeling uncertain? I get that.

So, here’s the thing: I, Ashley/Ash (use what feels authentic to you), choose to show up in this space as someone who wishes I’d had a guide walking just ahead of us on life’s pathβ€”someone who’s taken a similar journey before and whose job it was to provide us with non-dual wisdom, authentic encouragement, and compassionate accountability as we cultivated practices that empowered us to make our own aligned decisions.

I would have given anything for that. But thankfully, you don’t have to!

From a place of vulnerability, I'm choosing to show up with intention to point you toward science-backed and results-driven resources, integrative experiences, and non-dual wisdom traditions that have improved my personal and professional life for the better.

I have learned that human beings inherently share at least two core values: agency and connection. And so, I’ll simply ask, have you considered how much can be achieved when…

  • you’re given freedom within limits,

  • you choose to invoke an attitude of creative Yes, And thinking, and

  • you approach life’s challenges from a place of perceived safety and equanimity?

And have you ever considered just how much more enjoyable the journey is when we carve out space to navigate it alongside ethical and equitable soul-centered humans?

Be Well,
Ash Gold

ASH GOLD of OAK AND AZALEA

β€œIn my life, it’s helpful to think about coaching as therapy with a little bit of homework in between sessions. It’s the sacred space I count on each week (or month or quarter) where I become attuned to the wisdom that’s already present in my life. It’s where I root myself back into a sustainable rhythm aligned with my wellbeing goals.

I firmly believe that you already possess all of the answers you’re seeking, and it’s my deepest calling to ask you the right questions at the right time so that you can make your own aligned decisions. And for many, it’s where the deep magic of contentment and creativity can be rediscovered.”

Nice to meet you!
I’m Ash Gold.

With more than a decade of experience and proven results leading individuals, couples, groups, teams, organizations, and institutions through seasons of complex transitionβ€”I’ve learned that lasting transformative change requires a whole hearted commitment to creating space for discernment followed by a commitment to taking aligned action.

The Coaching Coven

It all begins with a desire for change.

Maybe you feel ready to explore spiritual re-integration. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you’re preparing for the birth of your first child and don’t want to lose yourself in the process. Or maybe you have been navigating life on the brink of burnout and can’t imagine living like this any longer.

Whatever it is, you were never meant to go through it alone. What if we walked this path together?
