Welcome back to The Deeper Call podcast.
It has been a month since our last episode. And I want to take a moment to let you know that I am putting the podcast on hold, as I've had some health issues surfacing that I need to tend to.
In other seasons of my life, I would have overrun my body's need for rest and kept working on this project to the detriment of the podcast and my health. But at this time, I'm coming to terms with the fact that the best thing I can do is pause until I have the energy to bring it back.
Creating this podcast and sharing it with you over these last eight months has been a dream come true. Thank you for taking the time to tune in, for sharing your favorite episodes with your friends, and for allowing these conversations to open your hearts and expand your notion of what might be possible for all of us.
If you would like to stay in touch while the podcast is on pause, please join me over on The Deeper Call's Substack. With gratitude, Ashley.

Welcome to The Deeper Call. In this episode, I’m joined by speaker, dialect coach, and best-selling author, Samara Bay.
I read Samara’s book, Permission to Speak, when I was launching this podcast, and it wouldn’t be an understatement to say that it radically shifted how I show up here.
So today on the show, Samara joins me to explore how to sound like ourselves, why we need inner permission to do so, and what it takes to release the shame that shows up along the way.

Welcome to the season one finale of The Deeper Call.
When I launched this show, I wanted to it be about being moved to tears, moved to heal, moved to connect, moved to take action, and moved to remember that we are interconnected.
Join me today as I reflect on the episodes from this season and share my favorite insights and personal take-aways from each conversation. I also offer a guided forgiveness practice from my first book, How To Breathe.
As you listen, I’m curious — What is resonating with you? How have these deep dives supported you? What questions continue to linger?
Please subscribe to my Substack and share your reflections in the comments. I’ll be back soon for season two.

Welcome to The Deeper Call. Today I’m sharing my first solo episode to celebrate the publication of my book, Permission to Rest.
I believe that rest is a regenerative practice and a revolutionary act. It’s also a crucial step toward healing our relationships, our communities, and our planet.
Tune in to hear why I wrote this book about rest, how I’ve developed my rest toolkit, and what to do when rest feels inaccessible. At the end of the episode, I also share one of my favorite rest practices from the book. It begins at 11:10.
So let us take a breath into the healing powers of rest. Let us take a step together into the great unknown, a step into the rested life.
I hope you’ll tune in, find a moment to rest, and order your copy of Permission to Rest today.
