Over caffeinated and over stimulated, but always real.

Degrees (w/ student loans to match)
10+ yrs of coporate grind-ingggg
A little mom guilt sprinkled on top

I’m Ashley –
your work wife

Laid off corporate gal, turned entrepreneur. And last year I was laid off from my corporate job (one I actually liked tbh), and decided to listen to my gut and go all-in on entrepreneurship.  

If there is one thing I realized, is that if I can do…ANYONE CAN. Was it challenging? Yes. Were there some side-eyers- most obvs. 

Through lots of googling and networking, I also realized it is not, and shouldn’t HAVE to be as hard to make the leap of faith into entrepreneurship. It’s totally doable, and I’m here to make it easier for you. 

Consider me your, corporate escape guide.
