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 783 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART TWO: FLIGHT RESPONSE

You tell yourself you’ll deal with it later.
You’ll check your numbers tomorrow. You’ll follow up next week. You’ll finally get clear on your money “when things calm down.”

But that moment never seems to come.
And instead… you stay busy doing everything else.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the flight response with money — the pattern that looks like procrastination, distraction, or “being busy,” but is actually your nervous system trying to avoid discomfort.

This is part of a special series on money, fear, and your nervous system, where we uncover how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses shape your income, business decisions, and ability to receive more.

Because avoiding money doesn’t mean you don’t care about it.
It usually means, on a deeper level… it doesn’t feel safe.

Ep 782 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART ONE: FIGHT RESPONSE

You’ve been told your drive is the reason you’ll succeed.
So you push harder. You do more. You try to control every outcome.

But what if that “hustle” is actually a nervous system response to fear… and the very thing keeping money feeling stressful, inconsistent, or just out of reach?

In this episode, we’re breaking down the fight response with money — how it shows up, why it gets rewarded, and how it can quietly block your ability to receive more.

This is part of a special series on money, fear, and your nervous system, where we unpack how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses impact your income, business growth, and financial patterns.

Because making more money isn’t just strategy. It’s about whether your body feels safe to hold it.

Ep 781 3 Ways You’re Blocking Your Quantum Leap (Why It’s Not Clicking Yet)

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right… but it’s still not clicking?

Like you’re on the edge of a breakthrough, a quantum leap, or a major level up — but instead of momentum, things feel off, unclear, or harder than they should?

This is one of the most common and misunderstood phases in manifestation, business growth, and identity shifts.

And it’s exactly where most people unknowingly block their next level.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 ways people delay their quantum leap — why you feel stuck before a breakthrough, how resistance and control show up, and why discomfort is often the sign you’re expanding… not failing.

If you’ve been questioning why your manifestation isn’t working, why your business or money isn’t growing the way you expected, or why everything feels like it’s not clicking yet — this will give you the clarity you’ve been missing.
