Ashton August:

Hi there! My name is Ashton. Thanks for stopping by. I am a writer and author, entrepreneur and consultant in the wellness space, yoga and meditation guide. I am obsessed with animals (dogs and donkeys especially) and can’t wait to one day own a farm where all my rescues can live happily ever after. Being badly bullied in school led to self-worthiness issues, and I attached accomplishment with worth. The more I did, the more worthy I would become. (Spoiler alert: we don’t ‘achieve’ worthiness – we simply are – it’s innate). So, I earned my MFA in Creative NonFiction Writing and have since published three books. Dedicated to sharing mind-body-life wellness, I created YouAligned.com and app YouAligned Classes. Yet as I was building my career of helping others, I was inwardly self-sabotaging. I started playing small in life, afraid of failure and rejection. This experience both cost and taught me a lot. And I wouldn’t be where I am today, able to teach and speak on what I do, if it wasn’t for all that I’ve gone through. I am candid with my success, my mistakes, and all that I have learned along the way. Most importantly, I have distilled all of these experiences, lessons and insights, into my current work as an author, consultant, teacher and leader.
