Live And Earn

“We want money because of what it gives us.

Then, she landed a $4 billion IPO — and felt no excitement. That’s when Ashley realized the dream job she had hustled for was no longer her dream.  Following some soul searching, Ashley decided she wanted to become an entrepreneur.  After reconnecting with her now-husband Terry, who was crushing it in the fitness industry, Ashley moved back to Houston.
