Ashleigh Renard: Goodbye Perfectionism, Hello Swiftie-ism Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

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!
