Meet Ashley Springs | Educator, Mentor & Sports Mom | Helping Overwhelmed Moms Get Back in Control of Their Lives
Â

đżIâm Ashley. And I didnât build this from theory. I built it from real life.
For a long time, my life looked like strength on the outsideâŚ
and overload on the inside.
I was the mom who handled everything.
The one people counted on.
The one who kept going even when life kept hitting.
Kids. Work. Money. Loss. Grief. Healing. Building.
All at the same time.
And somewhere in the middle of carrying all of that, I realized something:
đđ˝I wasnât just tired.
đđ˝I was living in survival mode.
đđ˝And I couldnât keep living like that.
Defining My Way Academy⢠was born in that season.
Not when life was easy.
Not when everything was figured out.
But when I knew I needed my life to feel different.
đąWhy this space exists
I created Defining My Way Academy⢠for the mom who is tired of carrying everything.
The mom who:
⢠đŽđ¨feels overwhelmed more days than not
⢠đhas a full life but still feels disconnected
⢠đ¤handles everyone elseâs needs while hers stay last
⢠đŤknows something has to change⌠but doesnât know where to start
Because too many women are surviving their lives instead of actually living them.
And I know that feeling personally.
đ§My work is simple at its core
I help overwhelmed women who are tired of carrying everything get back in control of their lives so they can build clarity, stability, and income â without losing themselves.
Not by throwing more on their plate.
But by guiding them through a real journey:
đżReset â when life feels heavy
đŻRefocus â when itâs time to organize and stabilize
đ°Rise â when theyâre ready to build security and income
Same woman.
Different season.
đ¤A little more about me (and why I understand)
Iâm a mom first. Always.
Iâve raised my kids through seasons of struggle, rebuilding, growth, sports schedules, late nights, early mornings, and real-life pressure.
Iâve navigated:
⢠grief and major life changes
⢠financial rebuilding
⢠emotional healing
⢠education and career growth
⢠entrepreneurship while parenting
Not from a distance.
From inside it.
I know what itâs like to sit in the car after practice pickup and just breathe before going home.
I know what itâs like to be âthe strong oneâ and still feel unsure, tired, and overwhelmed.
And I also know what it feels like to slowly rebuild a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more intentional.
That journey is what shaped this brand.
đ¸What makes Defining My Way⢠different
This isnât about hustle for the sake of hustle.
And itâs not about pretending motherhood isnât heavy.
This space blends:
⢠emotional healing
⢠real-life organization
⢠practical systems
⢠and financial empowerment
Because moms donât just need motivation.
We need support.
We need structure.
We need options.
We need stability.
We need space to become who weâre growing into.
Everything I create is built to help women:
â¨feel less overwhelmed
â¨think more clearly
â¨organize their lives
â¨rebuild confidence
â¨and create income and stability in a way that fits real motherhood
đ What youâll find here
Inside Defining My Wayâ˘, everything flows through three phases:
đżRESET
For the mom who feels heavy, scattered, and emotionally tired
⢠emotional clarity
⢠self-reconnection
⢠starting-over support
đŻREFOCUS
For the mom whoâs ready to get her life together
⢠time systems
⢠planning tools
⢠routines that fit real life
đ°RISE
For the mom who wants stability and something of her own
⢠money clarity
⢠financial tools
⢠income pathways
So youâre never guessing where you belong.
You can always start where you are.
đ¤My heart behind this work
I donât believe women are meant to disappear inside responsibility.
I donât believe strength should require self-abandonment.
And I donât believe survival mode should be anyoneâs permanent home.
I believe women, especially moms, deserve:
⢠peace in their minds
⢠stability in their homes
⢠confidence in their decisions
⢠and the freedom to build lives that support them too
Defining My Way⢠exists to help make that possible.
đąIf youâre hereâŚ
If your life feels heavy.
If youâre tired of carrying everything.
If youâre craving clarity, stability, or a new direction.
Youâre not here by accident.
And you donât have to figure this season out alone.
Welcome to my corner of the internet. Iâm glad youâre here. Letâs build your peace, your plan, and your paid lifeâyour way đźđ
