It’s a powerful listen (or read) that will help you start to take charge and live a bolder, happier life.

Hi! I’m Dr. Ashley, a psychologist, speaker, and author.

I’ve spent nearly 20 years helping people overcome anxiety to live bold, meaningful lives. I’ve also been figuring out how to do that myself in the face of progressive vision loss. I wrote this book because I wish everyone knew what I do about how our minds work—and how to find real happiness, even when life is hard. I hope this chapter sparks something for you!
