We don't have to be perfect, but we should all set some sort of standard for our lives. Standards for our business. Standards for our relationships, we could keep going. Think of one area of your life where you want to see change, and start there. This week, Ashley talks about why having standards in every area of your life is important, and encourages us all to rise up and meet every bar that we set for ourselves. Thanks To Today's Sponsors!

We get wrapped up in our everyday tasks, the to do lists, and the things we have to get done and we sometimes forget the mission. Sometimes you have to come back to the basics and remember why you even started what you're doing in the first place. On the days when you feel like you're not doing a good job within your business, your personal life, or chasing your dreams - remember God validated it, when He gave it to you. Remember what got you here in the first place. Follow Us: Instagram TikTok Facebook The Slay Girl Slay podcast is an AshMedia production, hosted by Ashley Leggs. Learn more about your ad choices.

We can be in such a hurry to get to the next level in our lives, that we miss the beauty in the moments that we currently have.

If tomorrow, your favorite app disappeared, what would you do? In the event these algorithms change, the market changes, or the industry that you're in changes - can you still move forward with your dreams and the vision you have of your life? If the medium you use to run or market your business goes away, can you still move forward with your purpose.

Most of us, will not treat our own selves, like we would treat our very best of friends. We comfort our friends when they need us. We give them grace, and acceptance.

We're not saying your bestie doesn't deserve that kind of love, effort, & validation. We're saying that you deserve that kind of love, effort, & validation too. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors!

Maybe self care, isn?t just the products and practices we use to make ourselves feel good, look youthful, and be our best selves. Maybe self care, is also learning how to not care so much about things that we can?t go back and change. Worrying about things that haven't happened yet. When we hold on to negativity, and things we can't control - our body is keeping score. And to be honest sis....it's not that deep.

Just because it's not happening right now, that doesn't mean it's not going to happen later. It's just not happening right now. Sometimes the plans we make for our lives don't go according to plan.

Have you ever finally found a moment of joy, and quickly got scared that someone or something was going to ruin it? Have you ever found a moment of peace, but deep down waiting for the other shoe to drop and everything to fall apart? Girl, we have. This is called self sabotage. When we count ourselves out of experiencing real joy and real happiness, because we?re waiting on something bad to happen. We're waiting on something to hit the fan, instead of feeling safe in our joy and just allowing ourselves to be happy. You deserve to be happy sis. Big happy...not broke happy.

There is no version of you that will make everyone happy sis. So collectively, let's all stop trying. The only thing that you can do, is be yourself. What makes you, YOU, is what makes you special. It's what makes you unique. It's what makes you one of one. Let people criticize, judge, and say whatever they want to say about you. Keep showing up as who you are sis. Not who your aunties, uncles, followers, viewers, or spectators think you should be. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors! Today?s episode is sponsored by EarnIn! Make everyday payday, with Earnin!

Even though the situation may not be ideal, sometimes you have to do what you have to do sis. Things happen, and sometimes we can't control it. But we can control how we respond. We make things hard for ourselves when we become emotional, and let our emotions get in the way of making clear decisions. You can't go back and change how things have happened in your life, but you can change how you respond to them. Stop stressing sis...start moving. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

The good thing about God is that you can always call him up. When you feel helpless, and overwhelmed. When life feels chaotic and you don?t know what to do. This week, with everything going on in the world, Ash reminds us that sometimes all you need to do is open up your mouth and talk to him. Without perfection. Without the need to say or do everything right. Just you, speaking what?s on your heart - to someone who's always willing to listen. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors!

Your job is your purpose sis. Your assignment, is your responsibility. The people in our lives all serve a purpose, but it's up to us to determine what purpose that is. The more you grow and evolve, the bigger that purpose becomes, and you can't carry purpose and everybody else too. Let the actions of others determine where they sit in the show that is your life. We're talking friends, family members, coworkers - anybody can get it sis! People are going to do what they want to do, but you have to keep doing what you were meant to do. No harm....no foul.

Buying pens, new planners, and new notebooks to get organized will do nothing if you don't sit down and actually do the work you plan to do in them. Most of the time sis, it?s the things that we put off, the things that we feel the most resistance to?those are the things that end up changing our lives. Sometimes you just don't feel like it, and we get it. But if you wait to feel good, and you wait to feel motivated enough to finish...it will never get done. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors!

How would future you feel about the decisions you make each day? How would she respond to the issues happening in your life right now? Sometimes when we need answers, we look externally. We ask our family members and friends for advice. We need someone to motivate and inspire us. But the reality is, if we just took a minute to get quiet, and shut out the outside noise...we have the answers that we need. That if we could only take the time to imagine what a future version of ourselves would do, in a situation that we are currently in...in most cases we already have our answers. Younger you, will always serve as a reminder of how far you've come. But future you, the girl you will one day become...will always serve as the blueprint.

Stop putting limits on yourself sis. Stop putting limits on your abilities, on your ideas, limiting your creativity, and putting a cap on what you think you can do. Better yet, stop putting a cap on what you think God can do. There is no limit, on the dreams that you have sis. Just because someone else's life looks big and grand, that doesn't mean you can't have big and grand too. Don't let negative thoughts and negative beliefs trick you out of the dreams, visions, and goals God has placed on the inside of you. They are yours. Always has been, always will be.

When you don't know the answers to everything in your life, anything is possible in your life. When you feel lost and not sure about your next move, it can be frustrating.

One thing is for sure, a season of uncertainty will always bring forth a season of clarity. Just keep praying, waiting, and working....until you get there. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors!

You may not be at the exact place you want to be in life right now, but you certainly aren't where you started. Sometimes we get so focused on the future that we forget to appreciate our past.

You can either pay now for what you want sis, or end up paying for it in the future. The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of a current situation. We all want our lives to look a certain way, but aren't always willing to be disciplined enough to get it. We want to reach new levels within our business, our careers, our families, and even our personal lives but we don't like the discomfort of getting there. It's not the first time you will be uncomfortable and it certainly won't be your last. But only you will know how much your dreams, goals, and desires...are truly worth.

Although we'd all like to be wined & dined and for someone else to take care of us for the rest of our lives....the peace of mind you get when you have your own is unmatched sis. Whether that be your own place, your own car, your own bank account, your own opinions, your own ideas, and even your own identity. Something that no one can take away from you.

A lot of us are getting overwhelmed when we try to focus on everything, all at the same time. Then we end up overthinking it, and end up doing nothing at all. But it's simple sis. If you could focus on one thing for the next 6 months to a year, what would life look like for you? The problem is, we're all in a hurry trying to get "there", and we're trying to run towards all the things we want to do instead of just taking one simple step at a time. You will get there sis. But only if you shut out the noise, stop trying to rush everything, and just focus one one thing at a time. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors! Get 50% off plus free shipping when you try HelloFresh!

Time to check in! Are you on track with your goals this year? Are you burnt out, or maybe need to pivot? Remember, the more you grow and change, the more your dreams will grow and change. This week Ashley takes us through her goal setting (& executing) process, and how to build a life around your goals, and not your goals around your life. Having some control over your life, and not just drifting wherever life takes you. The only person that can make things happen for yourself sis...is you.

There is always something to be thankful for sis. Even in the things that don't work out, the things that worry you or bother you...there is always something to be grateful for. Because what you think, is what you see. If you keep your mind in a bad place, that is where it will stay. No matter how good life may be going, or if you're in a tough season...challenges will always present themselves. But it's how you choose to look at those challenges, how you choose to talk about those challenges, how you choose to approach them...is what makes all the difference.

There are people in your life that genuinely, authentically, and deeply love you...just for who you are. So why are you so pressed about the people that don't? Why keep making space, for people, for things in your life, that no longer serve you? People that no longer uplift you? Stop giving life to something that should have died out a long time ago sis.

You have to know how much you're worth, and not be afraid to ask for the things that you want. Other people, jobs, companies, and brands have no problem telling you what they want. Stop being scary, and start telling others what you want too. Reciprocity, is how we're moving sis. Accommodations require accommodation. You cannot continuously pour into everything and everybody, and nothing is pouring into you. It is important to serve others, but you are also not a public water fountain. Sorry...but...it needed to be said. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors! Today?s episode is sponsored by BetterHelp!

Why do you do what you do sis? Are you here to educate, to serve, to teach something, to lead by example, to change your life, to change your families life...why do you chase the dream? Or is it for likes, downloads, having a K next to your posts on social media, to be trendy, and popping for everybody else? Being recognized for your gift is complimentary sis, not mandatory. But if you stay focused, and keep going, and stop comparing where you measure up to others....the gift that you have and the purpose that you were given is bigger than any like, view, download, or compliment that you could ever receive.

There will be times in our lives where we have tons of friends, our calendar is full of events, and our lives feel full. There is a reason for that season. But there will also be times where our lives where it's just us. We don't have a lot of friends, we don't relate anymore to the people we used to relate to, and we feel separated. We feel isolated, and there is a reason for that season too. With separation, comes elevation sis. Your growth is not a group project. Sometimes it will take a season of just you, a season of doing it alone, a season of separation to get yourself there. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Sometimes we will find ourselves in a season of uncertainty. We don't know what's next, we don't know what the outcome will be to a certain situation, we're not sure if our prayers will be answered. We get upset, and frustrated, and even disappointed because things aren't going the way that we planned. But good things take time sis, and God would never bring you this far, to only bring you this far. Sometimes while we're trying to figure it out, it's already been worked out, and we have to learn how to rest in that. To take a step back, and let God do what only He can do.

When you keep a plant in a small pot for too long, you stunt it's growth. Same goes for you sis. If you stay in the same place too long, in the same mindset, same routine, around the same people, you stunt your growth. Sometimes you have to change the pot, change the soil, change the environment....to change your life. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

Well well well...if it isn't SEASON 6 gracing us with her presence! Welcome back boo, we missed you!!!! (for real, for real) The last few years have been filled with ups and downs, trials and triumphs, and sis....you did that. But this season is personal. This era is personal. And you can't afford to move how you used to move, think how you used to think, or act how you used to act. It's time to do something different. Whatever you did up until this point, good job....but what else you got? What else are you capable of? What else can you do? It was your audacity that got you to the doors you wanted to get to. But it is your authority....that will kick them in. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors! Today?s episode is sponsored by BetterHelp!

As we wrap up another year, don?t start evaluating all the things that you did not get to do. Do not, for one second, try to add up where you stand next to everyone else this year. Accomplishments come and go sis. But you are forever. The girl that you were earlier this year, last year, and years before ? is not the same woman listening today. She has new goals, new dreams, and new values. That is an accomplishment within itself. As we go into this next chapter, and this new season?with new goals and aspirations. Keep doing exactly what you do best sis?.you. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors! Today?s episode is sponsored by Nike! Check out the Nike Go Leggings at Nike.com! Slay Girl Slay is sponsored by BetterHelp!

Sometimes you have to let go, and trust that things will work out the way that they need to. If it worked out beautifully before, it will work out beautifully again. The things that are big to us, are nothing to Him. And we have to learn how to step back, and stop trying to fight all of our battles, take all of our wins?and let God be exactly who He is?.God. Sometimes life, sometimes your circumstances, and situations have to feel impossible?for God to show you that anything is possible. Let go sis?.and trust that if He blessed you before, that you will be blessed again. Thanks To Today?s Sponsors! Today?s episode is sponsored by Nike! Check out the Nike Go Leggings at Nike.com!
