I hired someone to help me get my house back together, and today we're talking numbers! In this VlogPod, I'm sharing how I recreated a professional home organizing experience on a budget by hiring someone hourly to work alongside me. We're talking what I paid, what worked (and what didn't), and why the help I actually needed wasn't necessarily what I expected. Plus, a little encouragement for anyone trying to keep up with a life that currently exceeds their capacity.

What if being a good mom didn’t mean giving 100% to everything? In this episode of The Ashley Surratt Show, Ashley is sharing her 21 very specific, slightly embarrassing, and incredibly relatable confessions of a Type C mom. From reusing her kids’ socks and skipping weekly date nights to letting TV be part of the daily routine and throwing away birthday party favors, Ashley is getting honest about the things moms don’t always feel comfortable saying out loud. But underneath the hilarious confessions is a much bigger conversation about motherhood, capacity, and the guilt we carry when we feel like we’re not doing enough. Ashley opens up about the pressure to keep a clean and organized home, the overstimulation that comes with parenting, and the reality of choosing where to spend your energy when you simply can’t do it all. This episode is your reminder that you can care deeply about being a good mom without giving everything your all, all the time. Being a Type C mom on purpose means deciding what matters most to you, showing up intentionally in those areas, and giving yourself permission to let the rest go. Get ready to laugh, feel seen, and maybe confess a few things of your own. Because chances are, you're not the only mom doing things a little differently—and the guilt? It's optional. If one of Ashley’s confessions makes you think, “THANK GOD, ME TOO,” send this episode to a mom friend who needs that same reminder 💖

What if doing less doesn’t mean you’re caring less? In this episode, Ashleigh sits down with Jess Massey, founder of Hustle Sanely, to talk about something so many of us can relate to: being a recovering overachiever. Because workaholism doesn’t always look like sitting at a desk for 12 hours. Sometimes it looks like never being able to sit down because there’s always another load of laundry, meal to prep, or thing you could be doing to make your home and family just a little bit better. Jess shares what it looks like to hold onto your ambition and desire for excellence without sacrificing your mental health or the relationships that matter most. Together, they unpack the identity piece behind doing less, how to figure out what deserves your time and energy in each season, and why you can’t do everything well all at once. Plus, Jess shares her simple “Hustle Sanely Five” — five daily habits designed to help you live more peacefully and productively, without letting your to-do list run your life. If you’re a mom who is always doing the most, this conversation might be the permission slip you didn’t know you needed: doing less doesn’t mean caring less. It might actually give you the capacity to care more.

A very unfiltered Saturday vlog pod about what happens when your home starts feeling less like a place to live and more like one giant visual to-do list. Come along as I drive around, grocery shop, make bacon, think out loud about getting out of the house, chat about mom friends who parent differently than I do, and share a few things making life easier lately. Basically, a little voice memo from my Saturday—with some motherhood thoughts, errands, and perspective sprinkled in along the way. 🩵 This is the Yoto Player I mentioned!
