The one you can tell anything to...the ugly stuff, the marriage stuff, the "why do I still feel like this" stuff and she never flinches?


That's usually me. And not because of what I do for a living...it's just always been me. 
 
 And that's what this podcast is all about.


 Open Book with Ash is real life, unfiltered convos about body image, marriage, motherhood, self-talk, and all the other bullshit women don't talk about enough. 
 
 Hosted by life coach Ashley Molitor — who is navigating the real shit right alongside you.


 No perfect. Just honest conversations and the occasional small shift that makes you go... hm.


 Pull up a chair. Grab a marg. Let's chat.

(aka shrink...)

Maybe you believe it and you find some fad diet, you restrict, you prep hard or maybe you don't, yet you still spend the whole time in your head once you're there. 

What if shrinking yourself was never the point? 

In this episode we are going to chat about three things that keep us mentally absent from the moments that actually matter: the diet culture deadline, the outside pressure that convinced us we need to fix ourselves before we're allowed to enjoy something, and the habit of self-objectification that has us operating as bodies first, humans second...even when we're supposed to be relaxing on a beach.

This one's for every woman who has ever sucked in her stomach getting out of the pool, waited for the "right moment" to get in the water, or spent the whole vacation wishing she'd started that program six weeks ago.

It is time to get out of your head and into your life.

No filter, full sarcasm, and zero interest in a polished intro (I tried recording one...felt awkward as hell, so we're skipping it).

Welcome to Open Book with Ash. In this first episode, I'm sharing why I started this podcast (hint: it involves everyone on the internet suddenly having the same grandma), what "Open Book" actually means...it's three things, and one of them might change how you think about your own life and what you can expect from me every other Thursday: real conversations, me in the thick of it with you, and stories that might just leave you feeling like it is time to loosen the grip and let some shit go.

We'll laugh. Hell, maybe even cry. But the goal is to connect.
I'm glad you're here!
