About Me

Hi!

Welcome to the Brave Bold Woman Project!

My name is Ashley, and I’m thrilled to have you here on this journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and personal growth!

My Story: I’m a 41-year-old woman who spent nearly a decade in a marriage that, while it had its moments of happiness, ultimately ended in divorce. My ex-husband and I worked together and traveled the world, building a life that seemed perfect on the outside. However, in 2019, he asked for a divorce, and my world was turned upside down. By 2021, our divorce was official. The experience was a mix of relief and heartbreak—a significant chapter closing and a daunting, unknown one beginning.

During the separation I traveled to Bali for three months, seeking an “Eat, Pray, Love” experience to help heal my broken heart. That journey was the first step in rediscovering myself. Moving closer to family, I slowly began rebuilding my life from the ground up, facing numerous challenges and experiencing many ups and downs. However, I gradually started to find my happiness again, creating a new and different life for myself.

The Brave Bold Woman Project: Out of this transformative experience, the Brave Bold Woman Project (BBWP) was born. BBWP is a community and resource hub dedicated to empowering women who have lost themselves and are on a mission to rediscover their passions, reclaim their strength, and build lives filled with love, respect, and independence.

My Mission:

  • Empowerment and Self-Discovery: I aim to help women explore their identities and dreams, encouraging them to rediscover their inner light and live authentically.
  • Healing and Growth: BBWP provides support and resources for emotional healing and personal growth, guiding women through their own journeys of recovery.
  • Independence and Strength: I believe in fostering a sense of independence and resilience, helping women set boundaries, pursue their goals, and stand strong.
  • Self-Love and Self-Respect: Central to BBWP’s mission is promoting self-love and self-respect. We offer tools and inspiration to help women honor themselves and cultivate self-worth.
  • Community and Connection: BBWP is a community of like-minded women supporting each other. Through online forums, social media, and local meetups, we create a network of encouragement and mutual growth.
  • Practical Resources and Inspiration: From workshops and webinars to ebooks and personal stories, BBWP provides a wealth of resources to inspire and empower women.

A New Beginning:

Starting over after my divorce was incredibly challenging. I had to adjust my lifestyle, find new employment, and rebuild my financial stability. Initially, I tried to start my own business, but I soon realized I needed to secure a steady income. This led me to work two jobs—serving during the weekends and an entry-level position in the parks and recreation field during the week, despite holding a master’s degree in the field. The experience was exhausting but also a source of immense pride as I made it work and began to see the fruits of my labor.

In my limited free time, I pursued a side hustle that reignited my passion for freedom and creativity. It was overwhelming and stressful at times, but it was also a deeply rewarding journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Join Me:

I invite you to join me on this incredible journey. Whether you’re healing from a breakup, rediscovering your passions, or seeking to reclaim your strength and independence, BBWP is here to support and inspire you every step of the way. Together, we can create a world where every woman feels empowered to live boldly and bravely.

Thank you for being a part of the Brave Bold Woman Project. Here’s to new beginnings, self-discovery, and living our most authentic lives. 🌟

With love, Ashley
