The Inspiration Behind Authentic Powerhouse
About Me
I’m Ashley, a mom of four amazing boys, a survivor of a storm I didn’t choose, and a builder of a future I’m proud to own.
In 2019, my world unraveled. A long, dramatic divorce stretched on, draining every ounce of energy I had. Then came the cascade: I lost my job. I was over $12,000 in debt. COVID delayed the divorce even more. Because my ex had been “the head of everything,” he controlled the paperwork, the payments, and with that power, the stimulus checks meant for me and the kids slipped out of our hands. It felt like the floor caved in way beneath us.
But I didn’t.
I decided to rebuild from the ground up, starting with the one thing I could control: my credit. The first wave of applications came back stamped “denied.” Then came the second. And the third. Each one stung, but each one also sharpened my ability to find a resolution. I dove deep into financial literacy and credit repair. All the late nights, early mornings, notes on notes, and a willingness to learn what no one had ever taught me.
Bit by bit, the doors that were locked began to crack open. My credit turned around. I bought my first luxury SUV, not for the flex, but as a marker of how far knowledge, strategy, and consistency can take you. I went back to school to pursue my Bachelor’s in Business Administration with a focus in Finance. I hired three mentors, humbly becoming a student again so I could grow faster, stronger, and smarter.
Now, I’m stepping out on faith to lead with what saved me: education, strategy, and unwavering accountability. I started this business to help women and small businesses rise after a setback, divorce, loss, job cuts, trauma, the “life happened” moments that can break your heart and bruise your bank account. I’ve been there. I know how isolating it feels to watch numbers define your options. I also know the power of a plan and the freedom on the other side of it.
My mission is simple: to turn pain into a plan and a plan into progress. If you’re carrying the weight of a “no,” I’m here to help you earn your “yes.” If you’re rebuilding your life while raising a family, I see you and I’ve got tools, not just talk. Together, we’ll strengthen your credit, build financial confidence, and create options you can trust.
Your story isn’t over. It’s turning. And you can come back stronger.
