Ep. 133 Everyone Thinks You're Fine. So Why Are You Exhausted? | Chanie Wilschanski
Everyone thinks you're doing great. You're capable, dependable, and somehow always the one holding everything together.
But what happens when being good at everything starts costing you the joy of actually living?
Join Ashriel and This Can't Be Normal author Chanie Wilschanski for a refreshingly honest conversation about the invisible mental load women carry, why success can hide exhaustion, and how to stop merely surviving and start feeling alive in your own life again.
Because, friend, you deserve to be seen for more than what you can carry.
Ep. 132 I Keep Praying… So Why Isn't God Answering?
You've prayed. You've waited. And nothing seems to be changing. Does God hear you? Are you praying wrong? Or is He simply not answering?
If you've ever wondered why God isn't answering your prayers, this conversation is for you. Through a surprisingly funny story about terrible drivers, the Psalms, and God's unfailing love, we'll explore how to keep praying, trusting, and finding peace—even when life doesn't turn out the way you hoped.
Ep. 122 Why Good People See the Same Situation So Differently
Why do good people see the same situation so differently?

Whether you're navigating difficult conversations, online debates, or simply trying to understand different perspectives, you'll walk away with practical tools to lead with both truth and compassion.
Ep. 119 How to Get Out the Door Without a Meltdown
Somewhere today, a child is deciding what to believe about themselves.
In this episode, Ash shares the surprising story of a mystery bag, a group of campers, and the lesson that became Fear Fighters—a free six-minute Love Move designed to help children (and the grown-ups who love them) remember what's true. Together, we'll explore Fear Brain, Love Brain, faith, neuroscience, and why the goal isn't to raise fearless children... but children who always know where to run when fear shows up.
Ep. 113 How to Walk with Jesus Before the World Gets Loud

It's not a complicated routine or another thing to perfect. Just six minutes. A little sunshine. A little movement. A little conversation with Jesus.
No pressure. No performance. Just peace.
