The Point is Progress

We're often so consumed by life and figuring out how to do it right or perfectly that we forget the most important part - that the very point of life is progress, and we can only accomplish that together. Through storytelling style interviews of local small business owners, I will bring you into the hearts and minds of the people you encounter everyday. We will discuss the many aspects of life - there’s no telling where our conversation will go. Let’s join together on this journey, to learn from and with each other, and to grow our capacity for greatness through kindness, empathy, and connection.

Ashley Crosby - ON Coping with Anxiety, Losing a Parent, and Starting a Side Hustle You Love

March 23, 2022 • Season 1 • Episode 14

On this episode, I chat with Ashley Crosby of Illustrations by Ash. She started this business as her "pandemic baby." Ashley is a breath of fresh air, down to earth, humble, and way talented. We discussed her experience with anxiety - what helped and what didn't, how her parents created a loving home, the heartbreaking loss of her father, and what she is learning about herself as a newly married woman. Her insight as a young female is inspiring and she is proof that we really can learn from others - even people who are younger than us! Her art is creative, witty, and uplifting. She is only just beginning this journey of entrepreneurship and her determination will surely take her very far. Check out her IG or find her at a local vendor fair to buy her stuff!
