094 | Simplify to Amplify with Ashlea Strickler

Gather in Growth

Ashlea and I talk more about what it can look like to ‘simplify to amplify’ in all aspects of our life. Growing up in a generation that’s big on ‘quitters don’t win, and winners don’t quit’, we think that chasing (and achieving) the next big thing will FINALLY make us feel like we’re enough, and prove our worth. Unfortunately, this is why soooo many of us are frazzled, overwhelmed, and pretty much drowning in the day to day. Instead of trying to do ALL.THE.THINGS, what if we chose to focus on one specific thing that we were lit up about, and actually made sense in our current season of life?

Ashlea Stricker is a farm wife, mom of 3 boys, and hairstylist living in a rural town in central Iowa. When she’s not chasing her boys or helping out on the farm, you can find her reading her favorite book, or watching Gilmore Girls (with a coffee in hand, and of course, avoiding laundry at all costs). Ashlea is a big dreamer and she loves cheering others on - she is a self-proclaimed cheerleader and your biggest hype girl!

In this episode, we cover:

• What Ashlea’s journey of ‘simplifying’ has looked like
• Why so many of us are frazzled, overwhelmed, and exhausted all the time
• Prioritizing one main thing, instead of thinking you need to be doing #allthethings
• Digging deep into the ‘mental weight’ that you’re holding onto regarding expectations and limiting beliefs + how to shift to more empowering thoughts
• Showing others that it’s actually okay to QUIT something when it’s just not the best fit for you anymore
• Adjusting our level of expectation for the season of life we’re in + letting go of the ‘perfectionism’ tendencies that plague so many of us
• Focusing on what you truly want in the season of life you’re in + giving yourself permission to grow and evolve along the way
