Amy shares what it was like before she knew what she was facing, how the need for control shaped her life, and what healing has looked like through therapy and self-awareness.

If you’ve ever felt like your standards are running you, not the other way around or if you love someone who struggles with perfectionism, rigidity, or emotional disconnection this conversation is for you.

Amy is a resilient woman who has turned lifelong fears and mental health challenges into sources of strength. After being diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD), she committed to therapy and self-growth, developing tools that help her live a more balanced, fulfilling life. Today, Amy shares her story to raise awareness and encourage others to seek support on their own healing journeys.

Ashlynn Mitchell is the former cohost of the top 10 podcast The Betrayed, The Addicted & The Expert, and the voice behind This Is Ashlynn, a show redefining what it means to thrive in midlife. After a public divorce that ended a 21-year marriage and reshaped her career, Ashlynn turned personal pain into purpose. Today, she guides women through the messy, magical process of healing and reinvention after betrayal, divorce, or a lifetime of self-abandonment.

With two teenage daughters and a life she rebuilt from the ground up, Ashlynn leads with lived experience. Her coaching and soulful retreats are spaces where women learn to trust themselves again, reclaim their joy, and stop playing small. She’s not here to tell you who to be, she’s here to remind you who you already are.

Ashlynn’s work is for women who are done dimming their light and ready to own their story, their pleasure, their peace, and their power. When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her hiking, roller skating, or dancing like no one’s watching.
