My tip is to just stop obsessing over everything, body, personality, work ethic and just do. Just be yourself and be proud of yourself, fk everything else, get what ya need to get done. At the end of the day your looks don't matter.

I grew up listening to my mom constantly on a daily basis degrade herself, talk negative about herself, I watched her hate herself because of her weight. I have some deep rooted issues that stem from all of that. She continues to this day to devalue herself because of weight. And she puts value on looking thinner. I am 36 years old and I have to constantly pull myself out of the I need to be skinny to be beautiful, or to wear certain things, or to feel comfortable in my own body. I grew up an overweight kid, being bullied because of my weight… started dieting at 15, which led to an E.D… I would only eat a candy bar for lunch and drink slim fast mixed with water, and then push myself to exhaustion when exercising . I wanted to be skinny, because it was beautiful. I’m so glad that I’ve grown and develop into the person I am now. I still have damaging tendencies but I make it a point to not put value on a woman’s weight, or my own. I don’t want my daughter to grow up with a mother like mine. I’ve had two kids. My body will never look like it use to. That’s ok, because the way my body use to look was altered by strict diet, rigorous exercise and misguided intentions. My body is beautiful, even though I have days where I’m funky. It takes some time but I silence the negativity that creeps up. I move my body now to feel good, not to be a certain size. I just want my body to be healthy and be able to move, to play with my kids, to walk my dogs, to garden and hike, practice yoga and create art. Thank you Ashley for being a beautiful ray of love.

Congratulations on your second baby! ❤️

She’s just seems like such a gorgeous person inside and out 😍

As a teenager who's looking to go into the modelling industry, it makes me feel better that you always repeat words of confidence, it really helps!

Why does it feel like this is a big sister conversation? Anyone else? Love your posivitivity and thanks for making me feel like I have a big sister giving me life advice ❤ congrats on baby no. 2!!! ❤

I love how naturally beautiful she is without makeup.

Absolutely loved this kind of video Ashley. Please do more of these. It’s so needed in these times where we’re all have extended funk days in this pandemic 🙏🏾

My Dad is an African man trained in the military. ..never displayed much affection. ..though he's language of love was" giving " ... He was tall and fit and always looked impecable ...I never heard him say anything negative about himself or ourselves although he was a single parent 💖💖💖💖. This really help out with my confidence

Awww thank you ashley so much! I wasnt feeling that great about myself this morning and low and behold I got a video notification, and it just boosted up my confidence! 💖💖😊

I was having withdrawals from you! You literally light up my days, the way you are and how you talk and omg I don’t even have clear words you’re just so inspiring and radiate kindness! Keep going, Ash, we love you ❤️

I love when you talk about confidence! I gained weight this past year and honestly, didn’t want to wear shorts this summer. I’m not the most confident in my body. But listening and watching you for the past so many years I thought to myself “fuck anyone who doesn’t like my body.” This may sound stupid but you’re the reason I’m wearing shorts this summer. 💕

I am a curvy stylist and style transformer in my 40s, also needed to go through a lot of body issues- and you definitely are the most inspiring woman for me and my clients. I so often share your videos with them. Thank you so much for just being you- one of the most beautiful people I know. All the best from Frau Jonason

Ok this legit made my whole day. I am so grateful for this message. Its almost like you're my confidence coach for the day. You should do a confidence series where you talk about one thing you're focusing on to gain confidence, or talk about what you're confident about that day and give advice on how to do it. You are amazing. Thank you

Oh my god thank you!! My upbringing was with a mother going through bulimia and anorexia without realizing her illnesses. I was always told the negative aspects of my looks, why bigger people are lazy etc etc. I am finding power in the ability to give myself all the positive reinforcement and self love I wasn’t given. Such liberation, I can give myself. Thank you for uploading this. Reminding me to love myself through the ebb and flow of self love and self care. ♥️

Thank you for this raw conversation! It’s something that I still struggle with myself even though I’ve lost almost 60 pounds. Every time I look at myself in the mirror I see more fat but then when I do my side-by-side‘s pics when I first started this fitness journey to now, then I’m like damn OK I really did that. I always say we are our biggest critics!

I needed this today and right now. Thank you. Just got out of a huge breakdown crying my day away in bed because of the lovely trigger that is cheat day. It’s my double edged sword. It’s a miracle sometimes what pops up in your way out of nowhere, aka this video. Love you.

I love her so much , I have struggled so much with my body image and she makes me feel so much better about myself inside and out.

She’s so beautiful, smart & cool❤️ Needed to hear this from her❣️ Hone in on what particular thing you’re not confident about… 💪🏾 & capable! Don’t let the 🌎 tell you who you are. ᙠσʅԃ🖤

Ashley, I have admired you when you first started modeling. There was so much valid points in your video that I watched it twice and personally took notes to remind myself to daily of affirmations and helping to limit my funks. In last two years I’ve lost 50+ lbs however currently discouraged because I hit a plateau plus gained back ten even though I haven’t stopped exercising 4 days a week. Keep posting more videos! Thank you very much for being honest. Carolyn

I have been struggling with loving myself so much. This really helps! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this 💛On “funk days” I always give myself a few hours but also set a timer for when I have to get up and take a shower. The shower for me is key in order to reset and start feeling good about myself again.

This gives me so much joy and peace in my heart. Thank you so much Ashley!!

OMG, I absolutely LOVE this and resonate with it so much!!! I vowed a long time ago to never talk badly about myself in front of my kids! Like your Mom, I also talk about being strong, and capable, and things of the like! I shared this video on FB and told everyone they NEED to watch it!!! ❤

Ashley, you are a true inspiration! I began loving and accepting my body since I saw you for the first time. Thank you for your positivity and spreading confidence!

Thank you Ashley! This helped a lot! And yes words do have power. I try to keep the words of affirmation and my husband also helps by reminding me and telling me to repeat to myself that im beautiful and perfect the way i am. It slowly starts to sink in and it means the world to me. It is a process but it has gone so much better.

OMG you really helped throughout this video and it feels like you are my mentor. Today was the day where I got a FUNK DAY (like really today) and not having my mom anymore sometimes I refer to inspire women just like YOU. I go through insecurities these last months with my IBS (gut issue). But that was a good pep talk and I HIGHLY THANK YOU for that: And hope that one day I will have the chance to meet you: Much love! Tania

When you talked about telling yourself who you aren't versus who you are...that really hit me. Thank you for shining a light on these topics. Your posts and videos are so helpful! ❤️

This made me cry. So heartfelt and honest. The fact that you are CONFIDENT enough to show us the real you, no makeup, eating, being a normal person. So refreshing in this fake world of touch-up photos. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤. I have been feeling ugly lately. Having skin issues and I've never felt uglier, but when I hear my 10 year old son tell me ,"mama but you're beautiful " just breaks my heart. Thank-you for being so honest.

I've been long time admirer of yours, and I was always wondering about the amount of confidence that you have .... I think it's beautiful and quite wonderful! Thank you for this video 🤗♥️

Bloody love you Ash. You are so relatable & talk real talk. ✨ We need more people in the world like you xo

This made me miss the full episode on KZfaq of PBD sooooo much more!! Thank you so much for you, you have helped me a lot, and still does, on my journey to love and know myself

Gorgeous beautiful Queen 🥺💕✨

Thank you for addressing an important topic, to make it inspirational, and to also give us loads of practical tips along the way. Ashley, you rock!!!

I love this so much!!! Thank you for the amazing advice from a fellow mama here!

Thank you Ashley! All of us need a boost of confidence like this once in a while. And you're perfect for it. Also, congrats on baby number 2 on the way! 💜

Hey Ashley, congratulations on the pregnancy ... I feel really happy for you 💖 When I think about the confidence stuff growing up I remember always being “the pretty but chubby one” and it was shit So many things that destroyed my selfsteem, and has being a never ending story about learning how to love and respect myself I appreciate you taking the time to talk about this Much love to you for being who you are, love u girl!!!

Congratulations😊.. its brilliant that you are saying this. I have a son and daughter and am very aware not to say negative things about myself and encourage them to not try be like anyone else ... just the best, kindest but tough versions of themselves.. thank you ashley

You made me cry! Thank you so much for this I really needed these words today. You do so much good in the world.

Love Ashley's positivity. She's a badass. My friend always told me that it comes from within! Period.

Finally! Someone who talks about making affirmations when you believe in what you’re saying Versus repeating what you don’t believe

This is beautiful. Everyone should see this video.

I loved this! I’m a huge fan of you Ashley and I decided to get into the model industry and follow your foot steps❤️ I know it won’t be easy but I’m determined to reach the top and share my story with others just like you. Whenever I think oh man this is tough, I watch your videos and go on your Instagram for inspiration. I cry from joy and excitement. You are such a huge inspiration to me and many others. Thank you for being my roll model and congratulations on baby #2 you look absolutely stunning ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love all of this because as a parent you do get lost and affirmations help either writing on a white board, mirror that you see everyday helps!

You’re awesome! All Mom’s should tell their daughter this advice! 💕

Thank you so much for this video Ashley. Writing my affirmations now!

You are such a beautiful person. Thank you so much for giving confidence to many full figured women all over the world. Because of you I feel truly good about myself today.

Thank you ! Thank you so so much ! I’ve admired you for years and this video have made me LOVE YOU ! May the universe bring you peace, love and happiness always x

Thank you so much for this! Needed by so many, myself included!

I give myself time to feel sad and emotional whenever I need to, because I believe you should always allow yourself to feel what you are feeling. It took me a long time to learn this. But like you said Ashley, you have to give yourself a time limit, otherwise you tend to linger in that space and that's not a good place to dwell in for too long. Once my time is up, which is usually a few hours before bedtime, I shower, get dressed (yes, in the evening) and then prep myself for a new day. I do this because it prepares my mind for a fresh start the next morning.

This was SO needed today and always! Thanks Ashley

Thanks Ashley! I struggle with my confidence and these are great ideas! I am going to write them down in my journal.

this had ALL the messages that we needed to hear - thank you QUEEN!

I NEEDED THIS! Thank you 💛💛

Thank you ❤️ you’re a light in this world

Thank you for being inspirative and convincing, Ashley.

Respect your positive vibes and having confidence in yourself. Keep being you.

YOU ARE AMAZING...this helped me so much...lots of love and thanks

Been slipping into a negative mindset again lately so thank you for reminding me that I am bold, I am brilliant and I am beautiful 😻

Ok, today God send me this video. Thank you. Had total mentalbreak as parent, but this words help me ❤️ you're such a gift.

Many congratulations on the new baby...u r very inspiring,thank you so much

I loved watching this Ashley as I have had a lot of funk days lately I have started the menopause and just don’t feel myself and definitely don’t love myself at the moment This has helped a lot thank you so much xxx

Thank you for always being an inspiration while keepin it real! 🙌

Love this! Love your wise words. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Yesssss, It's A Daily Practice - for anything you want to be/know/feel, you have to practice it, fake it til' you make it, do it when you don't feel like it, interrupt the thoughts that don't support what you're going for, investigate the habitual feelings that you let drag you down.

I freaking love you Ashley!!! Thank you.

Love this ❤❤ thank you so much Ashley! And congrats on baby #2 😊

I love this … going to watch this again and again when I need a reminder ❤️❤️❤️

I just love hearing everything Ashley had to say! Thank you for reminding me i’m human and we’re all human. Enjoyed a good laugh at the ‘gourmet pizza and Nutella’ funk day! Get it girl!!!😍🙏✨✨

You are such a blessing and inspiration .. you more than glow … thank you for your light 💜💜💜✨🌈🙏

I agree!! And I am just starting affirmations.🙏🏼 Thank you!

Thank you so much for everything you said in that video. I needed it so bad today... 💪❤️

Thank you Ashley! You are a genuine beautiful soul!

Oh Ashley, you are simply a beautiful human...Thank you sharing your thoughts and words - know they are reaching, affecting and helping many 🥰

You are absolutely beautiful with or without make up, however thank you for speaking of confidence without make up. You display such an honest genuine character, and its so important for people, especially women, to see you speak of this in your natural element. Being dolled up is absolutely fabulous, but I think its so important for us to see our natural beauty just as equally divine and powerful. Your attire, hair, and natural beauty radiate the definition of confidence in such a real way. Thank you again for showing us how to reclaim our grace in this element, and genuinely appreciate our soulful connection to eachother❤. You Rock!

This makes so much sense!

You’re such an inspiration ❤️

always always always praise and be proud of yourself! love and be kind to you no matter what xxxx

There are some days that I wake up and feel like I'm in a limbo, like something is wrong and I just cant figure it out. Some days it's easy to shake of that feeling like I know everything is alright in my life I'm in a good place but sometimes it just sticks and it's frustrating. I'm still working on my confidence so thank you for this video.

Thank you so much Ashley!💞💞💞💞

You are amazing! Thanks for being such an inspiration!❤️❤️❤️❤️

The way that I love her! 🥰😍. Thank you so much for this!

Yes, positive affirmations 🥰🙏🏽

Funny as soon as I clicked your video and you started talking I felt your confident energy and you seem so likable immediately, awesome energy!!

I love and needed this so much. Thank you Ashley ❤️

You gave such a good prospective of this topic. Your words are really coming through💫💛🌟

You are an angel! Thank you for this! 🥰

You are wonderful. Thank you for taking time to motivate and inspire others to feel good about themselves.

Whoa that hit home on so many levels, so bloody true. Thank you Ashley for your candid explanation , hugs from England 🇬🇧xx

Thank you for having this conversation! Now more than ever, it's so important that we know ourselves! The real sin is being mean to ourselves....

I love how raw the video is. I can't believe I watched the video religiously without looking at the comments section first. Ashley is one of a kind. She's so awesome in her own ways. BTW congratulations on the pregnancy!

You look absolutely stunning Ashley! Thank you for this reminder to congrats on the second bubba! 😍🙌🏻

Shiz, this changed my perspective on confidence completely. Thanks Ashley.❤
