About this listen

Welcome to Living an Intentional Life Podcast — a space for women who are remembering their hearts, reclaiming their energy, and creating lives that actually feel like home.

This is a place where you don’t have to perform, push, or prove — a place where you are met in your truth, your tenderness, and your becoming.

I’m your host, Ashley Strong Smith, and I believe that the deepest transformation doesn’t come from doing more — it comes from living with intention and listening more deeply to who you really are.

Each week, I share honest conversations and supportive tools you can gently try on in your own life — invitations to come back to your heart, trust your inner knowing, and create a life that supports your nervous system, your dreams, and your wholeness.

Here, we honor growth that is rooted, not rushed. We honor boundaries, embodiment, and the quiet wisdom of your own heart. You’re not here by accident. You’re here because something in you is ready for more — more truth, more softness, more alignment, more belonging.

So take a breath… and let yourself arrive.

  • Building the Home Within: Living with Intention and Presence with Nina Aziz Justin, The Resilience Mentor
    Mar 31 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    To live with intention is not always loud or dramatic—it’s quiet, steady, and deeply present.

    In this conversation with Nina Aziz Justin, we explore the art of inhabiting life fully: slowing down, turning inward, and trusting the inner compass that guides every choice.

    We talk about:

    • How intention lives both in the big picture and the smallest moments.
    • Choosing alignment over approval, integrity over momentum, and long-term impact over short-term reassurance.
    • The shift from self-focused survival to shared responsibility, and what it takes to build a foundation that is steady, humane, and true to your heart.

    This episode is for anyone seeking clarity, presence, and a deeper understanding of how to live a life that truly feels like theirs.

  • Seeds, Seasons, & Sacred Moments: Your Spring Intentional Living Guide | Episode 186
    Mar 24 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Spring is here — a season of renewal, growth, and gentle becoming.

    In this episode, I invite you to slow down, tune in, and notice the seeds quietly asking for your attention. Together, we explore what it means to live with intention this season — to nurture not only the life you’re building, but the moments that will one day become your memories.

    From my favorite spring rituals — morning pages with coffee outside, fresh flowers in the home, planting my garden, and moving life outdoors — to creating sacred, joy-filled moments with the people we love, this episode is an invitation to return to what truly matters.

    I also share a personal story from a recent weekend in Texas — a full-body yes that reminded me how meaningful moments don’t just happen… they’re chosen, invested in, and deeply lived.

    By the end of this episode, you’ll be guided to connect with your own “seeds” this spring, honor them with intention, and take small, meaningful steps toward a life that feels aligned, nourishing, and true.

    ✨ And if your soul is craving deeper connection and intentional space, I’ll share an invitation to my Spring Intentional Living Weekend Immersion.

  • Metabolism, Mindset & Momentum: A Sustainable Path to Feeling Your Best with Jenny Ferrero of Jenny J Fitness | Episode 185
    Mar 17 2026

    Send a text

    In this episode, I’m joined by Jenny Ferrero—Fitness Expert, founder of EmpowerU, and the voice behind Jenny J Fitness.

    This conversation weaves together metabolism, mindset, and momentum—exploring what it truly looks like to step out of extremes and into a way of living that deeply supports your body, your energy, and your life.

    We talk about building strength not just physically, but hormonally and emotionally…
    Supporting your metabolism in a sustainable way…
    Navigating perimenopause with intention…
    And creating routines that feel grounding, spacious, and aligned.

    I also share a glimpse into my current season—living in deep gratitude, flow, and presence as I prepare for a new chapter. Becoming the woman I desire to be through small, intentional rituals. Setting boundaries. Letting go of the noise. Choosing what truly supports me.

    This episode is an invitation to:
    Fuel your body with intention
    Move with joy
    And step into a version of yourself that feels strong, clear, and fully aligned

    Because wellness isn’t about doing more—
    it’s about coming home to yourself.
