Ashlie Molstad On Overcoming Addiction To Achievement & Rebuilding Her Life After Falling From The Top

Today's guest is Ashlie Molstad. Ashlie is one of the most successful Beachbody coaches of all time, having earned the prestigious top coach award two years in a row. This achievement was no small feat, given that there are hundreds of thousands of coaches. Ashlie is also a life coach and host of the "Insource" podcast. In this episode, we discuss Ashlie's rise to success in a competitive industry and how that same rise to success also led to addictions to things like achievement and external validation. We discuss how these addictions led to her swimming in a river of "misery" and how she bounced back. We also chat about her struggles with her mental health and not liking herself, how to overcome the opinions of others, why she is reevaluating her relationship with alcohol and so much more.      What to Listen For: 00:00 Intro 02:00 Addiction to achievement 07:00 Has Ashlie always been into personal development? 09:30 What made her expand her business? 14:00 Helping others pulled her out of a dark place 18:35 Why did Ashlie hate herself? 22:20 External validation doesn’t build confidence 26:15 Reevalutating her relationship with alcohol 30:00 Dealing with online criticism 39:00 You don’t need a morning routine to be successful 44:30 Overcoming the opinions of others 49:50 Does she still make money from Beachbody? 52:20 Change your thoughts not your circumstances 56:30 Dealing with her “inner bully” Episode Resources: Connect with Ashlie | Website, Instagram, Podcast Follow me on Social Media: LinkedIn Instagram Twitter ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.
