i want to slow this one down for a second because Ashlen carries a very specific kind of energy.
Soon-to-be wife.
Soon-to-be mother.
Creative.
Animal lover.
Woman who actually means it when she says she supports other women.
That “If not us, then who?” line?
Yeah. That’s not a quote for her.
That’s a operating system.
She’s the kind of person who builds quietly,
cares deeply,
and somehow still has room to hold other people while she’s growing herself.
Also.
She casually dropped that she collects wet specimens.
Which tells me two things:
1. She’s curious as hell.
2. She’s not scared of the weird parts of life.
That combo belongs here.
I’m really glad you’re in the Yard, This space gets better when women like you step into it fully.
Yard!
go show her love in the comments 🖤
