In this final episode of the year, Ashley Monique takes her victory lap — not from a place of perfection, but from a place of persistence. Victory Lap is a raw, honest year-end reflection on growth, healing, motherhood, grief, joy, and learning how to truly show up for yourself.

Ashley reflects on a year that required her to stretch — emotionally, spiritually, and personally. From navigating motherhood and managing her emotions as a single mom, to finding joy in the small moments, rediscovering herself outside of survival mode, and stepping outside of her comfort zone professionally and creatively.

This episode holds space for both gratitude and grief — honoring the losses, the lessons, and the love that shaped the year. Ashley speaks candidly about learning to celebrate herself, writing love letters to who she’s becoming, and finding balance without guilt. It’s about recognizing how far you’ve come, even if you’re still on the journey.

Victory Lap is a reminder that growth doesn’t always look loud — sometimes it looks like consistency, courage, and choosing yourself again and again. This episode invites listeners to pause, reflect, and give themselves credit for surviving, healing, and evolving through it all.

Because sometimes the win isn’t the destination — it’s realizing you kept going. 🖤

Be still and know… the purpose is already unfolding. 🌿
