Ashlyn is back with another round of Girl-Splaining, and this time she’s turning up the heat. Literally. Today’s topic? Sauna and heat exposure, and all the fascinating ways spending time in a hot environment can impact your body, brain, and overall health. From human growth hormone and brain-protective chemicals like BDNF to stress adaptation, recovery, and everything in between, Ashlyn is breaking down the science behind why getting hot might actually be doing your body some good. But what’s really happening when you sit in a sauna and sweat your ass off? Ashlyn explores how heat exposure creates a physiological stress response, how that stress may help your body adapt and become more resilient, and what researchers are discovering about the potential benefits for your brain and nervous system. And, of course, she’s tackling one of the biggest sauna misconceptions of all: Are you actually detoxing through sweat, or is that just another wellness myth we’ve all been sold? Whether you’re a sauna regular, a cold-plunge girlie who’s ready to switch sides, or someone who’s been wondering what all the hype is about, this episode is packed with science-backed insights to help you understand what heat exposure can actually do for you. So grab your towel, get comfortable, and prepare to turn up the temperature on your wellness knowledge. It’s time to get hot, get informed, and get Girl-Splained.

Just in time for spooky season, Ashlyn is welcoming back one of your favourite podcast besties, Clairvoyant Kim! And you KNOW this isn’t going to be your average catch-up sesh. We’re talking life after death, the afterlife, signs from the universe, and all the mysterious shit that makes you wonder whether there’s a whole lot more happening behind the scenes than we realize. Kim is back with some fascinating new premonitions and experiences, including receiving guidance related to a missing child case. The conversation dives into the unknown, what it might look like to stay connected to the great beyond, and how we can become more aware of the signs, messages, and intuitive nudges that show up in our everyday lives. Ashlyn and Kim also explore the idea that the universe has your back, how to get intentional about manifesting what you truly desire, and why learning to trust yourself might be more powerful than you think. Whether you’re a full-blown believer, a curious skeptic, or someone who’s ever experienced a coincidence that felt a little TOO perfectly timed, this episode will have you questioning what’s possible and paying closer attention to the world around you. So light a candle, get comfy, and maybe leave a few lights on for this one. Clairvoyant Kim is BACK, and things are about to get a little otherworldly.

You step on the scale, see a two-pound jump overnight, and suddenly you’re convinced all your hard work has gone straight out the window. But before you throw your meal plan in the garbage and declare your fitness journey officially over, let’s talk about what that number is actually telling you. Ashlyn breaks down the myths surrounding scale weight and walks you through all the sneaky culprits behind those frustrating ups and downs. From water retention, hormones, menstrual cycles, sodium, carbohydrates, digestion, and inflammation to the effects of training and recovery, there are SO many reasons your weight can fluctuate that have absolutely nothing to do with gaining body fat. So how accurate is the number on your scale, anyway? And how do you know whether you’re actually making progress when the numbers seem determined to mess with your head? This episode is all about understanding the difference between a normal weight fluctuation and a genuine trend, learning how to weigh yourself more consistently, and looking beyond one random Tuesday morning weigh-in to see the bigger picture. Because your weight is a data point, not a verdict on your progress, your discipline, or your worth. So before you let the scale ruin your day, let Ashlyn give you a little reality check. The number might fluctuate, but that doesn't mean your progress has disappeared.

Ashlyn is back with another round of Girl-Splaining, and this time she’s breaking down the five components of fitness that go way beyond what the scale says or how your ass looks in your favourite leggings. We’re talking muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Five pieces of the fitness puzzle that work together to build a body that doesn’t just look strong, but actually is strong. Ashlyn gets into what each component means, why it matters, and how they all play a role in your overall health, performance, and longevity. Because being fit isn’t just about lifting heavy, running fast, touching your toes, or chasing a certain body fat percentage. It’s about building a body that can do the things you want it to do, whether that means crushing a workout, hauling groceries, keeping up with your kids, or feeling confident in your own skin. Whether you’re a seasoned gym girlie or someone who’s still figuring out the difference between a dumbbell and a kettlebell, this episode will help you understand what you’re actually working toward and where your fitness routine might be missing a piece. Time to stop treating fitness like a one-trick pony and start building the whole damn package. Let’s get into it!

Well… this is it. The final Keeping Up with the Kar-Daij-Ash-ians. Daija and Ashlyn are sitting down one last time for the juicy update sesh you’ve come to know and love, but this time there’s a little something different in the air. After countless conversations about relationships, sex, family, fitness, business, travel, life chaos, questionable decisions, and everything in between, the girls are officially closing the chapter on Keeping Up. But don’t worry, they’re going out exactly the way they came in: with the tea. They’re catching up on what’s been happening in their lives, what’s changed, what’s coming next, and all the random shit that somehow always comes up when these two get together. It’s candid, chaotic, hilarious, and probably a little too honest. This isn’t goodbye to Daija and Ashlyn. It’s goodbye to this era of Authentically Ashlyn as the podcast evolves into something new. And before they turn the page, they’re giving you one last chance to sit in on the group chat. Lock the door if the kids are home, and come keep up with them one last time. End of an era. Beginning of something new. Let’s get into it. -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Merriman is a mom, a business owner, and a lifelong proponent of growth, self-discovery, and new experiences.

Ashlyn is flying solo for another round of Girl-Splaining, and this time she’s talking about a hormone that has somehow become the internet’s favourite scapegoat: cortisol. Feeling tired? Cortisol. Stressed? Cortisol. Not losing weight fast enough? Must be cortisol. Suddenly the entire female population is apparently walking around with “high cortisol” and absolutely no idea what the hell to do about it. So Ashlyn is breaking it all down. What cortisol actually is, why our bodies need it, what happens when we’re chronically stressed, and how sleep, exercise, nutrition, recovery, and everyday stress can all play a role. She’s also separating the actual science from the social-media wellness advice that makes it sound like drinking a specific powder at 7:03 a.m. is going to magically fix your hormones. Because cortisol isn’t the enemy, stress isn’t something you can completely eliminate, and your body isn’t broken because you had a stressful week. Ashlyn gets into what we actually need to understand about cortisol and why supporting your overall health matters a hell of a lot more than chasing the latest hormone hack. Time to stop blaming cortisol for everything and actually understand what the hell it does. Let’s get into it. -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Merriman is a mom, a business owner, and a lifelong proponent of growth, self-discovery, and new experiences.

Ashlyn is flying solo for another round of Girl-Splaining, and this time she’s breaking down one of the most talked-about books in the personal development world: Atomic Habits by James Clear. But this isn’t a book report, and she’s definitely not here to make you feel guilty about that stack of self-help books collecting dust on your nightstand. She’s taking the big ideas from the book and translating them into real-life, actually-doable strategies. From the power of tiny changes to identity-based habits, habit stacking, environment design, and why you need to stop relying on motivation to magically show up when you need it, Ashlyn digs into what actually makes habits stick. Because becoming the person you want to be usually isn’t about one massive transformation. It’s about the small shit you do consistently when nobody is watching. Whether you’re trying to get stronger, eat better, build a business, become more productive, improve your relationships, or simply stop being a human version of “I’ll start Monday,” this episode is packed with takeaways you can start using immediately. Small habits. Big changes. No dramatic life overhaul required.

Ashlyn is flying solo for another round of Girl-Splaining, and this time she’s breaking down the sunk cost fallacy, aka the very human tendency to keep pouring time, money, energy, and emotion into something simply because we’ve already invested so much in it. A relationship that stopped working three years ago? A business idea that is clearly going nowhere? The jeans you spent way too much money on but absolutely hate? Yep. We’ve all been there. Ashlyn gets into why “but I’ve already put so much into this” can be one of the biggest traps keeping us stuck. Because the time, money, effort, or heartbreak you’ve already spent isn’t coming back, and sometimes the smartest move is admitting that something isn’t working and walking away. Not because the investment was worthless, but because continuing to invest in the wrong thing doesn’t magically make the original investment worth it. From relationships and friendships to careers, fitness goals, business decisions, and all the random shit we refuse to let go of, Ashlyn is asking the uncomfortable question: Are you staying because it’s right for you, or because you’ve already spent too much to leave? Time to stop throwing good energy after bad. Let’s get into it.

Ashlyn is back with another round of Girl-Splaining, and this time she's putting creatine under the microscope. If you've ever heard "creatine" and immediately pictured a giant bodybuilder chugging a shaker bottle in the corner of the gym, it's time to rethink the whole thing. Ashlyn breaks down what creatine actually is, how it works in the body, what the research says about its benefits, and why this little supplement can be useful for women far beyond simply building bigger muscles. She's talking strength, performance, recovery, muscle retention, and why creatine deserves a place in the conversation even if your goal isn't to become a hulking gym bro. No bro-science. No confusing supplement jargon. Just Ashlyn breaking down the facts and giving you the information you need to decide whether creatine belongs in your routine. So grab your water bottle and get ready to get creatine-confident, babe. Let's girl-splain.

Ashlyn is back with another solo episode, putting her superpower to work: taking big, complicated ideas and breaking them down so you can understand them, apply them, and get on with leveling up your life. This week, she's diving into Tony Robbins' Six Human Needs and breaking down the six fundamental drivers that influence the way we think, behave, make decisions, and connect with other people. Ashlyn walks through each need—certainty, variety, significance, love and connection, growth, and contribution—and gets into what they can reveal about why the hell we do the things we do. From your relationships and career to your habits, goals, and the choices you make when nobody's watching, understanding these needs can give you a whole new lens for understanding yourself and the people around you. No complicated personal-development jargon. No 47-hour seminar required. Just Ashlyn taking a big concept, making it make sense, and giving you something you can actually use. Because sometimes the biggest level-up starts with understanding why you are the way you are.

This week, Ashlyn is hitting rewind on one of the podcast’s most memorable episodes and bringing back a conversation that still hits differently. We’re revisiting her conversation with Clairvoyant Kim, a psychic medium who has been sharing her gifts for more than 25 years, to explore the mysterious, emotional, and sometimes downright spooky world of connecting with those on the other side. Kim shares some of her most jaw-dropping experiences, including “holy f*ck” moments, connecting with loved ones who have passed, and her work surrounding missing persons and unsolved cases. Ashlyn and Kim also dive deep into what Kim believes happens after we die, the afterlife, heaven, and whether there really is more waiting for us on the other side. And, of course, the episode wouldn't be complete without a personal reading for Ashlyn. Kim shares insights, messages, and little details that hit close to home—and offers a perspective on grief that can bring comfort when you're missing someone you love. Sometimes we need to look back to remember that grief doesn't mean the connection is gone. It just means the relationship has changed. Press play, take a deep breath, and come reconnect with a conversation about love, loss, and the possibility that they're still with us in ways we don't always understand.

Ashlyn and Daija are back in their fitness era, and this time they’re coming for every muscle-building myth that’s been floating around the internet. If you’ve ever been told that lifting heavy will make you bulky, that women shouldn’t train certain body parts, or that you need to live on chicken and rice to build muscle—consider this episode your official myth-busting session. The girls break down what it actually takes to gain muscle, build curves, and yes, grow that dump truck. They talk progressive overload, protein, recovery, genetics, and why patience is the most underrated part of any physique transformation. Expect hot takes, real science explained in plain English, and a few loving call-outs for anyone still avoiding the squat rack because they’re scared of getting “too muscular.” Grab your lifting straps, stop fearing the squat rack, and let's bust some myths, build some muscle, and grow that peach the right way.

Ashlyn is back with her ultimate wing woman, Daija, and this time they’re putting one of the most important relationships in their lives on trial: friendship. Fresh off Ashlyn’s birthday bash surrounded by her besties, the girls are breaking down their ultimate red and green flags for what makes a friendship actually good. They’re talking about how to find your people as an adult, how to turn new connections into genuine friendships, and what it takes to keep those relationships strong when life inevitably gets messy. But not every friendship crime gets off with a warning. Ashlyn and Daija are putting some of the biggest friendship offences on trial, from flakiness and one-sided relationships to jealousy, bad communication, and the dreaded friend who disappears the second they get a boyfriend. Which ones are guilty of killing the vibe? Which ones get a pass? And which ones deserve to be immediately escorted out of the group chat? Because the right friendships can completely change your life and the wrong ones can drain the ever-loving hell out of you. Grab your bestie, call your lawyer, and let’s put friendship on trial. -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Merriman is a mom, a business owner, and a lifelong proponent of growth, self-discovery, and new experiences.

The Kar-Daij-Ash-ians are back, and this catch-up goes completely off the rails in the best way possible. Ashlyn and Daija are spilling the tea on everything that's been happening lately—from relationship updates and dating adventures to fitness wins, business chaos, and all the random rabbit holes they somehow end up in. As always, nothing is off limits, and the girls aren't exactly known for having a filter. This episode gets a little racier than usual as they tackle your juiciest questions, share a few stories that probably should've stayed in the group chat, and laugh their way through the wonderfully messy reality of life, love, and everything in between. It's honest, hilarious, a little inappropriate, and packed with the kind of unfiltered bestie banter you've come to expect. Pour yourself a drink, lock the door if the kids are home, and come keep up with the Kar-Daij-Ash-ians. -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Merriman is a mom, a business owner, and a lifelong proponent of growth, self-discovery, and new experiences.

Ashlyn and Daija are back with another notebook dump, and trust us, you're going to want to steal a few of these. Over the past year, the girls have been filling their Notes apps with the quotes, reminders, and little truth bombs that stopped them in their tracks. In this episode, they're pulling out their favorites and unpacking the life lessons hidden behind each one. From relationships and healing to fitness, business, confidence, and becoming the woman you're trying to grow into, these aren't your average Pinterest quotes. These are the words that challenged them, comforted them, called them out, and helped them level up. Expect equal parts laughter, "ouch, I needed that," and "I'm immediately sending this to my group chat." If you've been needing a mindset reset or a little fire lit under your ass, consider this your sign. Open your Notes app, babe. You're going to be adding a few more today. -About Ashlyn- Ashlyn Merriman is a mom, a business owner, and a lifelong proponent of growth, self-discovery, and new experiences.
