Why she built this for leaders
This is Ashley's story, in her words. It is why she built Run the Rooms for leaders who want to build the work and keep themselves.
I'm a Fresno native, raised in a traditional Mexican household. We didn't have much. We lived on Section 8 and food stamps, but we were never short on faith. That was the one thing my family gave me in abundance.
I grew up surrounded by strong women who held everything together. They figured out the money, the work, the children, and the household, and somehow they made it all hold. Watching them, I believed that holding it all together meant being in control, and that control was what made a woman strong and independent.
Motherhood taught me otherwise. I held it together through my first and second babies. When my third arrived, postpartum depression found me. I had always been the woman in control of her emotions, and suddenly I didn't recognize myself. I didn't know what was happening to me.
I am the gift. Go within.
I am the bridge between spirituality and reality.
