Meet Ashley Michaelle | Self-Love & Energy Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ashley Michaelle and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ashley, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
At this point, my business has taken on so many different iterations, but the motivation has remained constant. Capture Your Dream coaching was birthed out of my own personal struggle with self-love and the years-long journey it took to reach unconditional self-acceptance. The vision and purpose of Capture Your Dream coaching is to empower my clients and students to clarify and realize the life of their wildest dreams using the path of least resistance – radical self-love.

One of the things that I realized on my own journey is that it is impossible to live a life you love if you don’t first love yourself. A lack of self-worth will cause you to doubt your abilities and give your power away through people pleasing or simply not trusting your own decisions. A lack of self-worth will obscure all of the wonderful possibilities of life from you because you do not believe they are possible for someone like you. As someone who used to be a chronic people pleaser, once the veil was lifted, I realized there was so much more beauty to life and many more experiences to look forward to. I realized that I had the power all along.

As a coach, my goal is to bring my clients not only into the knowledge but the implementation of radical self-love and a life that works in accordance with their energy and purpose. Using a proven system, I am able to quickly pinpoint areas in which going with the grain or societal norms may actually be hurting their success. We are also able to quickly address areas of struggle using practical and spiritual resources. By helping others realize their dream life, I am living my own dream.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Capture Your Dream Coaching is a life and wellness coaching service designed to help others achieve their goals by living in flow. We offer lifestyle coaching, self-love coaching, and more. Utilizing spiritual modalities such as Human Design, Gene Keys, and Astrology, we are able to uniquely help our clients to not only bring clarity to their purpose and goals, but provide them with the tools that will work best for them to achieve those goals. When I look at the brand that I have built, I see not only myself but the legacy of women who have shaped who I am today. I am proud that, as a coach, I am able to extend that legacy by reconnecting other women to themselves, to the fullness of life. There is no greater joy than seeing someone experience the joy of living.
For those interested in a coaching journey, there are several different ways to get involved. I am currently accepting one-on-one coaching clients and will be announcing two new 1:1 coaching programs in the next few months. All new clients will receive their first session free. I also teach a workshop every other week entitled “Design Your Life” for those who want to learn about how to maximize their energetic makeup to change any part of their life. For those at the beginning of their healing journey, I would love to share my newest book, “Seeking Approval: How to Stop People Pleasing and Live a Life of Fulfillment”, which is now available for purchase on Amazon. I love connecting with new people, so anyone can get in touch with me by contacting me through my website or following Capture Your Dream Coaching on social media.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
First, I would take them to all of my favorite spots. Just Add Honey is a regular pit stop for me during the week and on the weekends. They have delicious teas and a warm, inviting atmosphere that I love. They’re also right off the Beltline, so after that we would walk along there and maybe stop in to shop at Ponce City Market. To eat, we would definitely have to go to Boxcar ATL at least once for their fish and chips. Piedmont Park is a must, and we could probably catch one of their many festivals there. On a night out, we could go to Peters Street Station to check out the current art exhibit or listen to live music.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are so many people I would like to thank for their help along this journey. Most of all, I would like to give a shoutout to my mentor Demetrius Irick. He has encouraged me every step of the way, helping me to see beyond my own limitations and get out of my own head. He was the greatest encourager behind writing and publishing my book and was able to give me critical insight into that process. I would also like to give many thanks to my friend Danielle Jackson who has helped me immensely in marketing myself and planning events. My book launch could not have possibly been as successful as it was without her. Many thanks to all of my friends and family members who have purchased copies of my book, attended events, or even just shared my information. Your support does not go unnoticed and is immensely appreciated.
