This week on the Girl, Get Up Podcast, I sat down with Ashley N. Browning, Adjunct Professor, Self-Care Influencer, and the powerhouse behind She Selfish LLC, to unpack what it really means to make self-care a lifestyle! Ashley N. Browning truly embodies the essence of GIRL, GET UP! In 2018, Ashley began her transformative journey into defining what self-care meant to her personally, answering her call to commit herself wholeheartedly to her physical, mental, and spiritual health. This journey led to her powerful motto: "Self-Care Ain't Selfish!" Ashley believes that self-care extends far beyond surface-level maintenance, such as getting your hair and nails done. It's the intentional attention we give to our growth and development as whole human beings.
Today, Ashley leverages her experience in education and business to provide comprehensive education that promotes wholeness, awareness, and understanding through targeted outreach initiatives to families throughout Ohio. Her work is deeply rooted in her faith, drawing daily empowerment from John 3:16: "For God SO LOVED the world that HE gave..." This scripture fuels her commitment to give when it's not convenient and consistently display selflessness, even in the face of adversity.
