My whole life I relentlessly tried to be the “good girl.” I did all the right things, ate well, exercised, read self help books and yet, something was missing. I felt overwhelmed by the constant amount of to dos and found myself reacting to my children, husband, and parents in ways that felt out of my control. After losing control, I would be left with loads of guilt and days of feeling derailed by my own out of control behavior. Riding alongside guilt was a strong inner critic telling me I’ll never be good enough to fix myself and be the calm, peaceful person I desired to be. Embodying transformational teachings has not only changed my relationship with others but has changed the relationship with myself.

I’m Ashley Albrecht, a certified intuitive coach and wellbeing experience curator. Before becoming a coach, I was a burnt-out business owner and an overworked, stressed-out mom trying to do everything right to handle a long list of to-dos. I found myself filled with anxiety as I worked hard to be a good mom, wife, daughter, boss, service provider, and friend. I was trying to check off all of the boxes for what seemed like the path toward financial success and family health and happiness. I was constantly seeking ways to do better and be better. I created buffers to prevent me from making a mistake or having something bad happen. I was running on a hamster wheel but didn’t know how to get off without hurting someone else.

As I experienced this, I knew deep down that something was not aligned in my life. I was seeking meaning but wasn’t sure how to access it. Since my early twenties, I have been a seeker and an avid reader of self-help books. I did yoga. I ate well. I was doing all of the “right” things and yet, something was missing. Feeling hopeless, I thought I may never get to the root of what felt out of sync in my life. This emotion would resurface in other ways: reactivity and emotional ups and downs. Even though I intellectually knew and understood wisdom teachings, I would find myself reactive towards my children, my husband, and myself when things felt out of my control. Whether it was feeling overwhelmed by my child’s anxiety, a difficult client, or a generalized, believed lack of support, I was caught in a cycle of thinking things happening to me were the problem and needed to be controlled. While I understood the importance of staying calm, I felt that my emotional state was too often out of my control and I needed to keep working hard to make the outside better so I would feel better on the inside.

The pandemic upended the world we knew and my career suddenly became inactive, allowing me to finally slow down and reassess how I was living my life. I harnessed my time and energy to take a deeper dive into the teachings of my long-time mentor, Dr. Shefali Tsabary. Dr. Shefali has been endorsed by Oprah as revolutionary and life-changing, as her approach blends clinical psychology and eastern mindfulness. Her books The Conscious Parent, The Awakened Family, Out of Control, and A Radical Awakening are groundbreaking, offering an alternative mindset to mainstream parenting and living. I felt the call of my spirit to deepen my understanding and began training under Dr. Shefali’s Conscious Coaching Institute. This journey has ignited something within me that was waiting to be born.

Aware of how much I have grown, and now being able to embody the teachings in deeper and deeper ways, I feel passionate about passing along what I’ve learned so that others may experience this same sense of joy, freedom, abundance, and flow. I’ve lived firsthand how powerful this work can be. While it takes bravery to look within—to dig deeper into one’s family dynamics and childhood experiences—there is peacefulness and freedom on the other side of this work.
