Description

Most women aren’t afraid to tell their story.
They’re afraid to tell the version that would change how people see them.

In the first episode of 2026, Ashley Crabb opens Making HERstory by calling out the real reason women keep editing, softening, and swallowing their truth. This is not an episode about content tips or marketing hacks. This is a conversation about story as identity, leadership, authority, and legacy.

Ashley breaks down why polished stories don’t create connection, why perfection kills resonance, and why your story doesn’t need to be fixed or validated before it’s worthy of being heard. This episode is a reminder to stop telling the safe version of your story and start telling the one that actually creates transformation.

This Episode Is For You If:

• You’re tired of showing up as a polished, palatable version of yourself.
• You feel called to share your story but are afraid of being misunderstood.
• You’ve been told your story needs to be cleaner, clearer, or more impressive to matter.
• You want to build trust, authority, and connection without betraying who you are.
• You’re ready to stop shrinking and start owning your lived experience.

Inside This Episode, We Talk About:

• Why stories aren’t the longest way to a point, but the shortest way to memory and transformation
•  Why no one connects to perfection, only recognition
•  How editing your story kills your authority and magnetism
•  Why you don’t need more credentials, a bigger platform, or outside validation
•  How telling your story with rooted audacity and feral realness builds trust, leadership, and movement

Your story doesn’t need to be more.
It doesn’t need to be less.
It doesn’t need to be fixed.

You need to fucking own it
