info_outlineIncreasing Your Healthspan
On this powerful episode of Richer Soul, we welcome Ashley Garcia—a small-town girl from rural Illinois who defied limitations and built a life of health, purpose, and high performance. A celebrated IFBB Figure Pro, health coach, and business owner, Ashley joins Rocky for a raw and empowering conversation on rewriting personal narratives, cultivating resilience, and designing a life rooted in vitality and purpose.
She didn’t just overcome self-doubt and outdated societal expectations—she crushed them under the barbell of transformation.
If you’re feeling stuck, held back by old beliefs, or unsure how to align your ambition with well-being, Ashley's story will light a fire inside you.
Key Takeaways:
-
Rewrite Your Origin Story. Ashley’s small-town upbringing came with limiting beliefs. But rather than staying in the “safe zone,” she forged her own path. If you’ve ever been told "that dream is too hard"—this episode will show you how to prove them wrong.
-
Wellness is Not One-Dimensional. Mindset. Movement. Nutrition. Recovery. Ashley emphasizes that real transformation doesn’t come from surface-level changes—it requires a whole-body approach.
-
Your Energy is Your Currency. Ashley explains how preserving and optimizing energy—not just managing time—is the real key to peak performance. Especially for high achievers, burnout is not a badge of honor.
-
Strength Lies in Surrender. One of the most surprising insights? Letting go of perfectionism. Ashley reveals how grace, rest, and spiritual alignment are just as crucial as grit.
Money Lesson:
Ashley’s financial education didn’t start in school—or even at home. Her biggest money memory? Her grandpa winning the lottery in 1984 and actually investing it wisely. That one moment planted a seed of curiosity and financial awareness. Today, she approaches wealth as a tool for impact, freedom, and well-being—not status.
Guest Bio:
Ashley Garcia is a Health and Wellness Coach, IFBB Figure Pro, and elite athlete who helps entrepreneurs, executives, and high performers unlock their full potential through holistic wellness. Her coaching combines science-backed strategies and deeply personalized plans around mindset, movement, nutrition, and recovery.
