The Power of You

Hello and welcome to The Power of You! My name is Ashley Ta.
I am an Army Veteran, an Army Wife, a mother of three and a mindset/transformation coach. I have been on my own transformational journey since January 2014.
I started my journey overweight, unhappy, and unsure of if I would ever truly be able to find my own power.
I have struggled most of my life with low self-esteem, and was bullied a lot as a kid for my weight/size. So when I started my journey in 2014, my sole focus was just to lose the weight I gained after having my first child (and gaining 80 lbs).
But throughout my journey (and a total of three babies), I have learned so much about myself. More than I was ever expecting to learn.
So that is why I wanted to create this podcast.

To share what I’ve learned over the last 10+ years in my journey, and to continue to inspire, encourage. motivate and help other women find and discover their own power and magic, from the inside out.

I hope you love my podcast, and everything I share here. And if you do, I would love so much for you to leave my podcast a review, or come share any take aways with me on my Instagram:

But again, thank you for being here. I love you! And remember…
take care of yourself… from the inside out!

The power of listening to your body: healing and recovery. Sep 05, 2024

Text me, bestie!

In today's episode of "The Power of You", I will be sharing why it's so important to listen to your body after a significant event that requires you to pause and let your body heal and recover.
Maybe that's after a surgery, a illness, or maybe even childbirth.
But listening to your body, respecting its needs, and allowing yourself to ease back in to your habits and routines is critical.
I know it's not always ideal, and sometimes we are made to believe we should just "push through it", but I'm here to remind you that there is great things to come from honoring and listening to your body, and embracing the perfectly imperfect journey we may find ourselves on.
Enjoy! <3

A message for moms during summer time. May 30, 2024

Text me, bestie!

June 1st "The Power of You" turns ONE!
I can't even believe it! One whole year and almost 50 podcast episodes!
I am so excited, and beyond grateful for everyone who comes back each week to listen to what I have to share here! I have absolutely loved being able to pour so much of myself into this podcast channel, and I really do appreciate the love and support I've been shown here. Thank you so much! <3
Also, since it's summer time.. I wanted to share this message with all of my mom friends who listen to this channel. Because, as a mom of three myself, I know summer time can feel 10Xs more chaotic and it can be really easy for you to not prioritize yourself.
But, let this be your reminder that prioritizing yourself, and your needs is NOT selfish. It's necessary. And YOU DESERVE to take care of YOU too!!!
Remember that, my friend! <3
Until next week, take care of yourself from the inside out.

Why you're not seeing results... *reality check* May 16, 2024

Text me, bestie!

In today's episode, I am serving up a little *reality check*, and I know we don't like to hear stuff that will make us reflect inward... but sometimes, I know we need to hear it.
So, let's talk about why you're not seeing the results you want.
I just recently had this conversation about why I wasn't seeing the results I am after, and it turns out, I am the one stopping myself. I am the one skipping steps that I know are important. I am the one avoiding the work I know needs to be done.
So, this was my reality check to myself too.
It might sting a little bit to hear the answer... but you know what needs to be done.
So, LET'S DO IT!
Follow me on Instagram: @therealashleyta and if you are loving my podcast channel, I would love if you left a review on that platform you are currently listening on .
But until next week, take care of yourself from the inside out <3

Let's talk about Imposter Syndrome May 09, 2024

Text me, bestie!

Imposter Syndrome... have you ever experienced this before?
Maybe you are feeling like everything you achieved was just by luck?
Maybe you feel like a fake, or a fraud, or like that you don't know what you are talking about?
Maybe you are discrediting all your accomplishments or success and don't feel like you deserve it.
Well, you deserve it ALL! You DO know what you are talking about and you worked HARD as heck to achieve all those things... SO DON'T FORGET IT! <3
But truthfully, Imposter Syndrome is something we all feel and experience from time to time. And this is something I am currently fighting through... so I want to share a few tips/things to do to help break you from this thought process if you ever find yourself in it.
If this resonates with you, I would greatly appreciate any feedback in the form of a review on the podcast platform you are listening on (reviews are so helpful for me to reach new people).
I would also love for you to come chat with me on Instagram: @therealashleyta
And don't forget... I just started a new blog <3 So come find more content just like this over there https://therealashleyta.com
LOVE YOU SO MUCH! And don't forget how powerful you REALLY are!

What lesson I am taking from my month long Instagram detox. Apr 25, 2024

Text me, bestie!

It's almost been a month since I decided to take a step away from Instagram (for a month).
In today's episode, I talk about what I took from my month away and also share some insight on how I feel social media/technology is an energy exchange and why we should create and honor our boundaries we create around them.

Are you ready to be a Consistency Queen? Apr 19, 2024

Text me, bestie!

Are you ready to be a Consistency Queen?
Listen, as someone who started her journey back in 2014 and really struggled with creating any type of consistency... I get it. It's hard.
It feels overwhelming, it can feel defeating, and it can feel like you take 5 steps forward, just to take 6 steps back. I get it, I really do.
And often, I like to put myself back in my shoes from when I first started my journey and ask myself, "What did that version of me need when I was first starting?"
This was it... I needed to hear that consistency didn't mean perfection.
I needed to hear that I didn't need to implement all or nothing.
I needed to hear that it's okay to take things slowly, and in pieces.
I needed to hear this.
So that's why I decided to create my new digital guide + community, "Consistency Queen".
👇🏻
https://ashleyta.thrivecart.com/consistency-queen/
Inside my new 55 page digital guide
you will find worksheets I created that will help you define your “why”,
you will find pages that help you explore why consistency matters to you
there is even a section where you will do some consistency mapping and planning.
There are also some included affirmations around consistency that can be helpful on your journey, as well as a "commitment to self" contract which has proven to be a powerful tool within my coaching courses.

Along with this digital guide,

I also will be including my 4-week resistance band guide for you to help ease you into creating consistency in your fitness routine. This 4 week program is perfect for building upon your consistency because it can be done literally anywhere—and the workouts range from 25-30 minutes.

And because I know consistency doesn’t just happen, and I definitely want to be able to continue to help you through this building process—
I also created the "Consistency Queen" Facebook community for us to keep building in.

In this group I will continue to encourage you to take those small steps to building upon your consistency— as well as provide you a safe space to come and share your consistency wins! I will also be doing a community zoom call for those in this space every 4-6 weeks where we will meet up on a zoom call and continue to connect, share our wins, and even talk through things that might be hindering, or causing some roadblocks in your consistency building.
So if this is the kind of support and encouragement you need to get started.. I would love to be here to support you!
$22.22 off until May 1st (price will increase).
Grab it here!
https://ashleyta.thrivecart.com/consistency-queen/
Again, I am so excited to build this supportive and safe community and look forward to seeing you there!!
Take care of yourself, from the inside out!
See you next week!

The Power of Self-Validation Apr 11, 2024

Text me, bestie!

In today's podcast episode I dive deep into something that can feel uncomfortable (I know it is for me), but recognizing it is a powerful step in addressing it <3
And that is, external validation, or, allowing others opinions to sway the decisions or choices we make for ourselves.
As a recovering people pleaser, I know not seeking that external validation to make everyone happy can be a challenge.
But the big question I want you to walk away from this episode today asking yourself is: Am I TRULY happy with my life? With my choices? With my decisions?
As I also mentioned in this episode, I have 5 reflection questions for you to also help you in recognizing and understanding your own self-worth. If you wish to journal on these questions, they are:
1. What are some of your proudest accomplishments or achievements, and why are they important to you?

2. How do you define self-worth, and what factors contribute to YOUR sense of self-worth?

3. Reflect on moments when you have felt confident, capable, and valuable. What were the circumstances that led to those feelings?

4. Consider any negative beliefs or self-doubts that may be impacting your self-worth. What evidence do you have to challenge or dispute those beliefs?

5. Imagine your ideal version of yourself. What qualities, values, and strengths would this version possess? How can you cultivate and nurture those aspects within yourself?
Again, I know this can be a hard thing to admit to yourself.. But just know, we are all human. We all experience these things from time to time, and you're not wrong for experiencing it.
Just know that you ARE so strong, and capable, and smart and beautiful, and powerful...
and your self-worth is NOT held in the hands of others, but within yourself.
Believe that! <3

Things no one told me: loose skin Mar 21, 2024

Text me, bestie!

I started my weight loss journey at 235 lbs back in 2014 ( I was a "New Year, New me" girlie). But when I started my journey, loose skin never once crossed my mind.
My intentions were simply: let me lose this weight, and nothing more.
Back in 2014, I never really heard or saw women or influencers really talking about this, which is why I honestly never really expected it.
But now, after three kids and losing over 95 lbs, loose skin is a hard reality for me.
So many feelings, thoughts, and emotions to process and sometimes it can feel like I am alone in this.
But I know I am not, and I know that I can (and will) use my platform to share more about how I am navigating this part of my journey.
If you're ready to hear it how it is... lets get into it.

Are you the default parent? Mar 07, 2024

Text me, bestie!

I recently reposted a reel by another creator who was talking about being the default parent in her household, and how exhausting it can be.
And SO MUCH SAME. Which is why I shared it, because I resonate so much with the feelings and emotions that come attached to that.
It's honestly been so hard for me to navigate it the last year (since becoming an Army wife), and it's been a challenge for me to create something for myself (my business), and be the person who (usually) is responsible for managing, organizing, and doing everything for the kids.
Make no mistake, my husband is a TERRIFIC husband and father, and him going to work to provide for us is something that we always appreciate. I support him in anything and everything he does. as he does for me.
But that doesn't diminish my feelings and emotions as the default parent (who is also now going to school herself).
I have a lot on my plate, and a lot on my mind...
so, lets talk about it?
And if you make it through this podcast episode, 1st off, thank you for listening.
But 2ndly, come find me on Instagram and tell me TWO things that YOU are going to plan for yourself in the name of self-care (I share mine in this episode).
Can't wait to hear what you plan for yourself.
But please just know mama... you are not alone. I feel you. I understand you. I see you.
Take care of yourself, from the inside out!

Are you ready to enter your Self-love era? Feb 29, 2024

Text me, bestie!

Are you ready to enter your self-love era
If you answered yes, LET'S GO!
Self-love was something I honestly always assumed I would *magically* have after I lost weight. But I was truly shocked to discover that even after losing 95 lbs, Self-Love was still something I was having trouble with.
So after years of allowing myself to really focus on self-love, and allowing myself to learn, and unlearn, I feel I am FINALLY in a place where I can show myself TRUE self-love. That means showing myself compassion, respect, listening to what I need, and continuing to be my own number one fan!
And I am so happy to take what I have learned, and develop this 7 day course to help YOU on your path to self-love.
You will have LIFETIME access to the audio trainings, and the workbook. Which means you can listen as many times as you want/need (because repetition is KEY).
And as always, please feel free to DM me with anything that comes up for you in listening to these podcast episodes, I would love to hear more about what are feeling/thinking as you go through this course.

Are you putting yourself on the path of burnout? Feb 22, 2024

Text me, bestie!

Today's episode is open diary style as I share some of my thoughts/experiences with extreme burnout over the last 10 years.
So since we are coming up on 3 months into the New Year, this conversation felt important for me to have here on the podcast.
Because it is so important to recognize the signs and warnings of burnout within ourselves BEFORE we actually get to the point of burnout.
Please also feel free to follow me or DM me on Instagram, @therealashleyta

Is your victim mentality holding you back? Feb 15, 2024

Text me, bestie!

Maybe this is something you haven't really put much thought into?
And if that's the case, it's okay... I don't blame you.
But back in 2014 I became aware of my own victim mentality, and it truly was an eye opener for me. Because it truly was something that was holding me back.
In this episode, I will talk about how to recognize if you are falling into the victim mentality, how to change your focus, and ways to continue to work on escaping that mentality. As I also mentioned in todays episode, here are the 6 reflective questions I asked to help you understand/recognize if you are letting a victim mentality hold you back:
1. Do I often find myself blaming others or external situations for my problems or setbacks?

2. How do I respond to challenges or setbacks? Do I tend to give up easily or become overwhelmed?

3. Do I believe that I have control over my own life and the ability to make positive changes?

4. Am I willing to take responsibility for my actions and the consequences they may have?

5. Do I tend to focus more on the negative aspects of my life rather than looking for potential solutions or opportunities?

6. What beliefs or thought patterns contribute to my victim mentality? How do they influence my behavior and choices?
I hope these reflection questions are helpful, and as I also shared, if you are wanting to put more focus on your inner critic and limiting beliefs, you can now access my "Mindset Makeover" 5-day self paced course for $22.

Are you breaking promises to yourself? Feb 08, 2024

Text me, bestie!

Content warning! This episode serves up some gut punches 👊🏻
But, hey... This is a conversation I wish that I heard at the beginning of my journey, so I feel like, ending the 2nd week of February... this is an important conversation to have.
Because I know what it's like to break promises to myself.
And I know what it's like to not trust myself... and that hurts.
So, because I want to see everyone win and succeed in 2024, I am reminding you today in this podcast episode to look at the goals and the intentions you set for yourself at the start of January.
Where are you at in alignment with those goals? Are you still working towards them? Or have you already started to push them to the back burner?
And if you have started to push them away. Its okay.
It happens... but, listen to this episode.
Let me help remind you why these goals are so important to you!
2024 is YOUR year.
Let's go!!

Navigating social media and online comparisons Feb 01, 2024

Text me, bestie!

Text me, bestie!

In this episode I share a little more on what's going on in my world...
I started college! Something that I've always wanted to do for myself, but always told myself, "it wasn't the right time".
But as I share here often, there will NEVER be a "right time".
So im going for it!
I started the Spring semester at Liberty University to pursue my Bachelors in Psychology and I am so nervous, anxious and SUPER excited!
So if you need to hear this today, it's never too late to start doing something for you!
Whether its an education, a career or ANYTHING you want for yourself.
Yes, it can feel scary. But I hope you feel that fear, and you do it anyways!

The Power of a Fresh Start Dec 08, 2023

Text me, bestie!

New Years resolutions.
Whether you believe in them or not, I strongly believe that there IS power in the fresh start of the New Year.
In this episode I discuss what it was like for me starting my New Years resolution January 1st 2014 after starting and stopping so many times prior.
I was embarrassed about what people might think or say hearing me start again.
I was worried I would be made for of, or laughed at.
But that was a chance I was willing to take and a fear I was willing to take head on.
And if this sounds like you too-- I hope going into the New Year, that you let nothing or no one hold you back.
If you are feeling inspired, confident and motivated, don't let the fears of others reactions hold you back.
IT'S YOUR YEAR!
CLAIM IT, SIS!
And if you are ready to maximize your fresh start, I am starting a 6 week coaching group surrounding your Mind, Fitness and Nutrition on January 1st 2024.
I have created a 6 week fitness program for you, and have centered this whole program around creating positive habits and routines that FEEL GOOD FOR YOU!
We will also be focused on macros (I will teach you how to calculate and follow) as well as provide you with some simple meal/snack ideas!
And of course the mindset aspect-- You will have access to a private podcast feed where you will receive 2-3 new podcast episodes a week as well as a weekly pep talk from me!
We also will keep each other accountable in our Voxer space where you will have 24/7 access to me and the sisterhood we will create in this space.
So if you are ready to really take control, and do this for you,
I would love to help guide and coach you through this life changing year!

I look forward to hearing from you!

The power of checking in with yourself [[REPLAY]] Nov 16, 2023

Text me, bestie!

This is a replay of an episode I shared back in June, but as we approach the holiday season, I feel like this episode is a very valuable one!
Don't forget to check in with yourself, like REALLY set some time aside to gauge how you are feeling and what you might need more of.
Here is my check in question list you are more than welcome to utilize yourself:

-What is taking up most of my headspace at the moment?
-Am I struggling to keep my daily routine?
-What am I doing today that makes me happy?
-Have I been doing any physical activity lately?
-Am I sleeping well enough at night?
-Am I eating regularly?
-Am I fueling my body with the foods it needs to feel good?
-Am I drinking enough water?
-Am I withdrawing socially?
-Are my emotions up and down lately?
-Am I losing interest in activities I usually enjoy?

As I also mention in this episode, here are the check in questions I usually ask my kiddos you can also utilize:

What is something you are super proud of yourself for doing this week? (So I could celebrate that WITH them).
What is something that made you happy or smile today?
Has anything specific been making you feel not so happy?
What was the best part of your day or week?
What is one way you were kind to yourself today, or this week?
Has anything felt hard or confusing for you this week? (Again, this was an important I listened to so I could be more aware of what things there were feeling challenged with).

As always, please take care of yourself, from the inside out! <3

Something I wish I knew before starting my health journey Nov 09, 2023

Text me, bestie!

If you are planning a New Year resolution, or have intentions to start working for a better, healthier version of yourself in the New Year, I love that for you!
And I don't want you to let anyone give you crap or discourage you from that!
But in addition to your physical aspirations and goals, don't forget that a part of your health journey is your mindset, your inner dialogue and your self beliefs.
Something I wish someone would have told me when I started my own journey back in 2014.
And that is why I wanted to create a 5 day course designed to help women understand, challenge and overcome their limiting beliefs and their inner mean girl.
If this sounds like something you will like access to, I would love to have you be apart of it!
Email me at therealashleyta@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @Therealashleyta

As I shared in the episode, if you wish to check out my guided reflection journal, you can do so here: https://a.co/d/bCMhOWg

Text me, bestie!

In this episode I want to encourage you to heal your inner child, but I also want to remind you to give yourself permission to take as much time as you need.
Because healing of any kind takes time, and this is no exception.
You will have to unlearn, rewire and forgive yourself, and maybe even others in this journey to healing your inner child, and as uncomfortable, sad and painful as healing can be, I also want to to envision how great you will feel once you start to make that peace.

The Power of Rediscovering yourself in motherhood. Oct 20, 2023

Text me, bestie!

I know not all of us lose ourselves in motherhood, but some of us do.
And if you have, please know that you are NOT alone.
Also just remember that finding yourself, or rediscovering yourself again in motherhood is a continuous and evolving process. It requires nurturing your own identity, prioritizing your self-care, setting and holding your boundaries, cultivating supportive relationships, reconnecting with your goals and passions and setting realistic goals for yourself. But if there is something you want for yourself, or a hobby you love, or a passion you love to pursue. Go for it. Chase it. DO IT!
You don't have to feel guilty for wanting your own identity.
You are a mom, yes.
But you are not JUST a mom.

Text me, bestie!

Are you feeling like you are stretched thin, nearing burn out and not sure why?

But in this podcast episode, I want to remind you WHY its important to continue to pour into yourself, ESPECIALLY in the hard seasons of life.
And if this episode resonates with you, please feel free to share so others can hear this message too! And as always, thank you for all the love and support <3

Why you should start NOW and NOT January 1st Oct 05, 2023

Text me, bestie!

I was a "New Year, New Me' girl.
Nothing wrong with that, especially since that decision changed my life forever.
BUT with that being said, if I knew then, what I know now...
I definitely would have started slowly working on my goals leading up to the new year.
Why you ask?
Well.. I will tell you why in today's podcast episode!

The power of shifting your focus from your flaws to self-positivity Jul 21, 2023

Text me, bestie!

In today's episode I talk about refusing to focus and give power to my insecurities.
I have lost a significant amount of weight, and after a big weight loss and three kids, I definitely have my fair share of loose skin.
It's been a constant battle between my skin and I,
but I've also been doing a lot of mindset work around this over the years and I discuss that in today's episode.
It's definitely easy to focus and give energy to the things you feel insecure about,
but staying aware of how you talk to and about yourself, and practicing some self-compassion and gratitude-- you can definitely work on building your confidence, even around the things you are insecure about.
Hope you enjoy todays episode and like always, thank you for listening!

The power of self-discipline Jun 16, 2023

Text me, bestie!

If you are anything like me, I am sure at some point you looked at someone who is achieving something (regardless of what is is) and thought,
"dang, I wish I had their motivation".
Because, yes.. same, I have done the same thing.
But what I have come to learn about motivation has also brought me to understand that the people you see showing up for themselves daily,
they are NOT motivated all the time.
They have developed their self-discipline to do the things they NEED to do, even on the days they don't necessarily want to do them.
But self-discipline in something you have to practice.
It is a habit that you have to intentionally work on forming.
And in this podcast episode I share with you a little bit on how you can start working on developing your own self-disciple habits, as well as share a fun way to self-motivate (because you CAN!).
If you enjoy this podcast, please tag me and share on your Instagram stories (I am @therealashleyta), and let me thank you for listening there!
Enjoy!

The power of checking in with YOURSELF! Jun 08, 2023

Text me, bestie!

Are you checking in with yourself?
And I don't mean just causally just thinking about how you feel.
But I mean INTENTIONALLY sitting down and asking yourself some check-in questions to create better self-awareness on what you may be needing more of.
This doesn't have to be a daily thing. You can opt to do this once a week, or twice a week. Whatever feels best to you.
And if you aren't doing this... it's okay.
That's why I wanted to share this episode on what my twice a week check in with myself looks like.
As I said in this episode, here are the check-in questions I use, but feel free to add/remove to create your own self check-in list:
-What is taking up most of my headspace at the moment?
-Am I struggling to keep my daily routine?
-What am I doing today that makes me happy?
-Have I been doing any physical activity lately?
-Am I sleeping well enough at night?
-Am I eating regularly?
-Am I fueling my body with the foods it needs to feel good?
-Am I drinking enough water?
-Am I withdrawing socially?
-Are my emotions up and down lately?
-Am I losing interest in activities I usually enjoy?
-Is there anything else I am noticing about myself?
I really hope this episode of The Power of You podcast resonates with you, and that this could be another powerful practice you add to your day/week.

Creating a powerful morning routine Jun 02, 2023

Text me, bestie!

When I first started my journey back in 2014, I had no idea what a "powerful morning routine" looked like. And truthfully, I didn't start actually focusing on creating a morning routine for myself that I was consistent with until about 6-7 years ago.
But ever since I started setting aside time in the morning for me to pour into myself FIRST, it's been a game changer.
In this episode I will discuss the benefits of a powerful morning routine. what a powerful morning routine can look like, and tips on creating your own morning routine you can feel really good showing up to.
So if you're ready... let's dive on in.

Intro- A little about me Jun 01, 2023

Text me, bestie!

Hello, my name is Ashley Ta.
I started my weight loss journey publicly on Instagram in 2014 after gaining 85 pounds while pregnant with my first baby.
Almost 10 years later (and two more babies), I have successfully kept 90+ pounds off, but more importantly... discovered my own power ✨
I am here to share the discoveries I made, the lessons I've learned and show you how to embrace the power of you no matter where you are at in your own journey.
So excited you're here!
