I am Ashley, a Certified Professional Coach and co-founder of Coffeytalk, where I bring a powerful mix of empathy, insight, and humor to my work with clients navigating life’s biggest transitions. Whether facing the loss of a parent, the upheaval of divorce, the uncertain terrain of dating again, or career reinvention, I meet people where they are and help them build resilience and forward momentum. Drawing on over 30 years of experience in the commercial insurance industry, I combine real-world practicality with deep emotional intelligence to guide clients through difficult moments with clarity and confidence.

My coaching is rooted in personal experience—having lost my mother at just 14, I'm no stranger to grief, growth, and the sometimes absurd twists life throws our way. My ability to find light in dark moments—often through humor that borders on stand-up comedy—gives me an uncommon voice in the coaching world. Clients often say I bring levity to serious conversations, making transformation feel not only possible but even a little fun. With grit, grace, and a wicked sense of humor, I help people face their next chapter with strength and self-compassion.
