Melissa Ashton: The Power of Presence (Seasonal Episode 5) Dec 20, 2025

Show notes

In this episode I sit down with the incredible Melissa “Missy” Ashton, a motivational speaker and leadership coach, for a conversation that felt expansive and deeply human. Missy shares her personal journey of overcoming adversity and coming face to face with herself after realizing she had become emotionally numb. We talk honestly about what it means to feel again, not just the highs but the full spectrum of human emotion, and why true leadership always begins with self discovery and self leadership.

We explore the power of presence, stillness, and creating space to reconnect spiritually and creatively. Missy beautifully reminds us that when we slow down enough to notice beauty in ourselves, in others, and in the world around us, we strengthen our connection to something greater than us.

In a world that often feels divided and reactive, this conversation is a gentle yet powerful invitation to choose love, unity, and compassion. Not just during moments of crisis, but as a daily practice. Missy’s wisdom encourages us to remember that love is always available and that how we respond to life is one of the most powerful choices we make.

If you have been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or craving deeper meaning, this episode will meet you right where you are and invite you back home to yourself.

Join Melissa at ALIGN as she speaks on the Growth & Spirituality panel. Her light and depth are beyond measure. Head to brookehemingway.com/align to join us there in January.

From Teenage Mom to Revolutionary Woman: Angie Ambrosetti’s Journey Oct 09, 2025

Show notes

On today’s episode, I have the absolute joy of talking with Angie Ambrosetti—a coach, podcaster, speaker, and mother whose life story is nothing short of inspiring. Angie’s journey shows us how to take the challenges we face and turn them into purpose, impact, and bold action.

We dive deep into Angie’s personal journey—from navigating constant change in her early years, facing teenage pregnancy, and overcoming the doubts that held her back, to building a thriving business, coaching others, and creating a podcast that amplifies women’s voices.

Angie shares how she shifted from performing confidence, from putting on a brave face, to authentic confidence rooted in her values, her faith, and her life experiences. We also talk about:

How to transform shame, pain, and past mistakes into purpose and growth
The power of verbalizing your story and sharing it in safe, encouraging spaces
Practical tools for handling difficult conversations in marriage and family without criticism
The importance of community, consistent connection, and uplifting those around you
What it really means to live a revolutionary life by showing up authentically and boldly

Angie’s story is a reminder that your past does not define your future, that courage is built in the moments you step into your truth, and that your voice has the power to inspire and uplift others.

Whether you’re navigating challenges in your personal life, your relationships, or your business, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, inspired, and ready to take bold action.

Remembering & Returning to Her – A Soul Conversation with Anniston Riekstins Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

In this powerful and soul-filled episode, I sit down with Anniston Riekstins —bestselling author of The Universe Is Hiring and host of The Aniston Rickstein Show. What began as a conversation on divine timing quickly evolved into an expansive dialogue on surrender, trust, healing, and how to embody your truest, most magnetic self in real time.

We explore:

The difference between passive waiting and active surrender
Why inspiration often arrives before your nervous system is ready
How resistance isn’t a sign to stop—but a signal for embodiment and expansion
Why healing can sometimes become a trap—and how remembering is the true breakthrough
The power of feminine magnetism, rest, and honoring your cycles
How to regulate your nervous system when stepping into the unknown
Why revolutionary women don’t outsource their validation

If you’re ready to stop striving and start aligning, to move beyond self-doubt and into divine remembering, this conversation is your invitation back home to yourself.

If this episode spoke to your soul, screenshot it, share it on Instagram, and tag us. We’d love to hear what resonated most!

The Waiting Season Jun 10, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever felt like nothing is happening—like you’re stuck, uncertain, or maybe even forgotten? I’ve been there. In this episode, I’m opening up about what I call “the waiting season.” I’ve had seasons of massive momentum where everything felt golden, and I’ve had seasons where it felt like nothing was moving, and all the doubts started to creep in.

If you’ve been wondering if your waiting means something’s gone wrong, I want to invite you into a new perspective. The waiting season isn’t a punishment—it’s a preparation. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned through my own slower seasons, and how they’ve grown me in ways that wild momentum never could.

Here’s what I’m diving into:

How to do a powerful pulse check on your path and the people walking with you
Why disconnection from your deeper “why” might be the real block
The importance of rekindling your vision and letting it come alive again
The hidden gifts inside slower seasons that are easy to miss
What it really means to be ready for the next level (and what to do while you wait)

This one’s honest, hope-filled, and packed with reminders that your season is sacred—even if it’s not what you planned. Let’s stop striving and start stewarding.

Journaling Prompts from the Episode:

What is this season asking me to learn or release?
Who am I becoming while I wait?
If I had everything I wanted today, could I actually sustain it?
What does my vision feel like—not just look like?
What hidden blessings exist in my current reality?

Key Quotes:

“The waiting season is not a punishment. The waiting season is an opportunity.”
“You may not be stuck—you may just be ripening.”
“Peace, joy, and love—not momentum—are the true markers of success.”

If this episode spoke to you:

Send it to a friend who’s been feeling stuck or discouraged
Leave a 5-star review—it helps more people find this kind of encouragement
Share your biggest takeaway with me on Instagram @hemingwayhalfdozen—I’d love to hear from you

Thank you for being part of the Align community. I’m so grateful you’re here. Keep showing up, even in the waiting.

The Power of Collaboration in Creation with Amberly Lago & Patrice Washington Apr 03, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I’m joined by two of the most heart-centered, powerhouse women I know — Amberly Lago and Patrice Washington — and together, we’re sharing something incredibly special: the announcement of our Kauai Mastermind Retreat happening July 13–18, 2025.

This conversation isn’t just about an event. It’s about what happens when three women decide to say yes to something bigger than themselves — collaboration.

For a long time, I carried the weight of doing everything myself. And even though I could have hosted something beautiful on my own, I felt a divine nudge to co-create. To build something alongside women I trust, admire, and align with. So I reached out to Amberly and Patrice — and this episode captures what happened next.

We’re talking about:

Why I no longer wanted to go solo — and why we all need each other more than we realize
The moment Amberly and Patrice instantly said “yes”
Why so many of us are stuck in the belief that we have to master everything alone
What it looks like to create from joy instead of hustle
The beauty of collaborating without ego, competition, or fear
Why this retreat isn’t just for entrepreneurs — it’s for humans doing good work in the world
The transformative magic of Kauai — and what’s waiting for you there

This is a conversation about redefining success, reclaiming joy, and coming home to yourself. Whether you're in business or not, if you’re feeling the call to pause, reconnect, and expand — this is for you.

About the Retreat:

July 13–18, 2025

Ep 3: When a Major Life Change Becomes Your Biggest Blessing With Sarah Foley Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever had an experience in your life where you felt like something happened and it was all over for you? Like your entire life was never going to look the same and it was never going to be good? Well, today on the podcast, I'm interviewing a new friend and an incredible inspiration, Sarah Foley.
We're going be talking about how that life change or that life break can actually be one of the biggest blessings and one of the biggest catalysts to propel you forward in your life, your vision, and your career.
Quotes from this episode:
"I think that we find our purpose through what we've experienced. We teach what we had to learn for ourselves and I had to learn how to connect to my body. I had to learn how to gain confidence in myself."
"I love the word kuleana, the Hawaiian word, kuleana, our responsibility. And the way I like to describe it is: You can, because I did, and I can, because you did. When we go for it, we have a responsibility to ourselves, to each other and when we own it in that way, it's not just about me. And I think that fuels the fire. It just keeps you going."
