Ashley Wiens pulls back the curtain on the Wellness and Professional Fitness World

It appeared from the outside that she had everything, the body, the success, and the lifestyle that everyone wanted. However, the reality was a little different. Despite her best efforts, Ashley Weins could not live and enjoy her life because of the professional fitness world. As she became obsessed with working out and eating, she gave up things that brought her joy.

She realized something needed to change after almost missing her brother’s wedding as she had to train for her next competition. This was not a lifestyle she wanted to continue living. She shares her journey through the darker side of wellness and professional fitness and how she overcame her fear of leaving this lifestyle to enjoy a happy and healthy life.

You have two choices.

You have to choose which is more important to you…

Staying comfortable and settling for the life you have right now.

Having the lifestyle and business you want, so you’ll take the risk, and do the damn thing.

It is that simple and it is that hard. This is why so many people who come to me are “STUCK.”

It shows up in the form of feeling confused, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, exhausted, procrastinating, and even resentful.

“Tiff I’m not happy and I want to stop doing ____ in my business and start doing _____ but I don’t even know where to start.”
“Ugh, I dread going to work, and I know I need to make a change but it all seems like too much and then I do nothing.”
“I’m afraid if I leave ______ and stop doing ______ I will lose everything.” (this is what my guest on today’s pod interview said to me 2 years ago)

You are torturing yourself daily by being torn between saying comfortably uncomfortable in the life you know, while deeply yearning for the life you want…but not wanting to take the necessary risks and scary actions to get it.

It’s like you are looking through a chain link fence seeing all of these happy successful people, who have wanted, and it’s right there for you BUT you must climb over that tall fence. It looks so giant, to the point your brain tries to convince you that it isn’t possible for you.

What always helps me is hearing from people who’ve climbed that fence, and why it is all worth it. Today’s interview is pure evidence of why NOW is the time to do it, and choosing yourself is the best investment you will ever make in your life.

EP 765 The Final Shedding Required for the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.

EP 764 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Boundaries) How to Set Healthy Boundaries Without Guilt in 2026

This episode of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol is all about boundaries.

Not the cold, harsh, push-people-away kind. But the kind that protect your energy, your peace, and your future.

Most high achievers think burnout comes from working too hard. The truth is much simpler: burnout comes from weak boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it’s not because you care too much or work too much. It’s because you’ve been saying yes to things that should have been a no.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, fear, or anxiety — and how to finally stop overgiving to the point of losing yourself.

EP 763 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Being) How to Feel Like Yourself Again and Become Who You’re Meant to Be in 2026

So many high achievers spend years trying to fix their life when what really needs to shift is their identity. If 2025 left you exhausted, disconnected, or wondering where the real version of you went, this conversation will feel like a homecoming.

True change in 2026 doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from becoming someone new on the inside first.

In this episode, we go beyond surface level self-improvement and get into the emotional, psychological, and energetic work of remembering who you actually are and deciding who you want to be next.
