Regulation is not being calm, checking a million boxes, or looking a certain way on the outside. The real definition of regulation is developing self-trust, adaptability, and the ability to stay with yourself rather than disassociate emotionally when life gets hard.

In this episode, we’ll explore how every emotion is a message, and every message draws the path forward to the success you’re after in your business, your relationships, and your life. Regulation is not something you can see on the outside, it’s all about what is happening on the inside.

TOPICS WE EXPLORE:

• Why the aesthetic version of regulation is toxic
• What regulation actually is
• Why doing something because you should gives you zero results
• How to use our emotions as the messages they are
• The self-coaching loop and somatic framework I always use
• A permission slip to redefine regulation in a way that actually serves you

THE POINT:

Regulation is the speed with which you recover from the challenging parts of life. It’s self-trust, adaptability, and the ability to stay with yourself when things get hard (none of which you can see from the outside).

MORE ABOUT ASH
I am the definition of duality — I swear like a sailor and break rules like it’s my job, but I also hold incredible space for my clients and work my ass off to help them achieve the success they’re after. But I'm also here for the non-preneur woman, too. My background in counseling gives me a unique perspective on what it means to show up, serve, & create connection for those who feel like they've never belonged before.
