Ashleigh Lyn - Choose to Fly (2026)

Thanks to Covid-19 it’s taken 7 months to arrive but it’s finally here! 🥳

What does being a Health Coach mean to me?

For 24 years of my life I was told that there was nothing wrong with me, that I was delusional, an attention seeker making up my symptoms and illness for attention. Then at the age of 24 I was diagnosed with a list so long I can’t even remember them all, and I was pretty much told that if we didn’t act real fast I could go into a coma within the next 2 weeks and potentially never wake up again. On top of that I’ve been through countless amounts of trauma, abusive relationships, shameful eating disorders and more. I’ve been so beaten down that I was too scared to go ANYWHERE by myself. I’m only alive because of holistic solutions, and I’m only who I am today because I’m a fighter and I will not accept mediocrity in my life.

I had to do it alone, and I don’t want that for you.

To me being a Health Coach means being that person who will NEVER tell you that something is in your head. It means listening, TRULY listening, and not to respond, but to simply listen. To me being a Health Coach means looking at all areas of your life, not just your nutrition & physical symptoms. To me being a Health Coach means being your best friend that you can tell ANYTHING knowing I will never judge you. To me being a Health Coach means helping you to achieve your best and greatest life and working on self development in EVERY aspect of your daily life. To me being a Health Coach means making a difference to one person at a time. It means working on myself to make sure I am walking the walk and being the best possible version of myself so that I can be the best possible Coach for my clients.

I’m currently working on creating a beautiful space for myself and my clients and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Just know this; The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.
Years later, I am so incredibly grateful for all the pain in my life, as it has shaped me into the person I am today.

I would love to help you see the positive in your pain too, and hopefully make that pain disappear altogether.

Without the rain ☔️ we would never feel thankful for the warmth of the sun ☀️

I know the last few months have been really hard, more so for some than others.

For my partner Brendon and I it was more of a wake up call. Brendon finally realised how little pleasure he got out of his job and how good life was with the freedom to be home with his family.
I realised how unhappy I was with the current people who surrounded me and that I needed to do some people culling.

We also took this time to reboot our health and I think we’d both agree that that was the best change of all.

Right now though I am so god damn happy!!! This week has been a challenging yet critical week in my life and I have accomplished so much!! 🥰 It’s all pretty amazing as just last month my life was in a shambles. But I took the bull by the horns and man did I turn that s**t around FAST!! 👊🏼😍

This week I got an expensive and traumatising procedure done that I’ve been putting off for years. Im actually so happy with the results and really happy it’s finally over. I also paid off my credit card in full, AND paid off the remainder of my Health Coaching Course Loan, meaning I am officially 100% debt FREE!!!
On Monday I start at a brand new store in my job and that is the best part of all!!
Life has never looked so good!! Brendon and I are also working on some pretty special things and I can’t wait for them to come to fruition.

I’ve also finally found a lifestyle diet that works for Brendon and I, helps me with my chronic illnesses, AND makes me feel amazing!! I haven’t felt amazing in a LONG time.

I am so incredibly happy right now. Bring on the new beginnings all round!! Everything is so perfect right now 🤗❤️
(Also can’t forget that my hair is back to being incredible - I dyed it brown during ISO and I did not like! 😝)

Comment below the greatest lesson you got from Iso and how it changed your life. I’d love to know. xx Ash. Choose to Fly 🦋

"In order to rise from its own ashes, a phoenix first must burn."

I pave my own path.
I run my own race.
I do not have any desire to compete against or to follow others.
Heck, most of them are going in the wrong direction.
My life hasn't been easy.
I feel like I've been fighting my entire life.
Survival mode is supposed to be a phase that saves your life, not a permanent mode that you live in.
But sometimes you have to keep surviving.
I've been in survival mode for far too long.
I'm exhausted.
I started a new form of physical therapy this week.
After reading my bodies frequencies and doing some work on me, Mel (the practitioner) asked me if I worked.
I said yes.
She looked at me blankly and said 'HOW?'
I said "You do what you gotta do".
She replied "I don't even know how you stand up straight".
I'm not surprised by any of this. I know how much pain I'm in every day. I know how tired I am. And I know how much my body is struggling. It always has, from the day I was born.
But I feel like I'm getting there. I'm finally finding a way through all of this muck.
This week I have felt SO DEFEATED.
For ten years now I have been fighting to create financial freedom for myself so I can not just have time freedom and financial freedom, but so I can have a bad day and not have to force myself through an agonising shift over and over again.
Time after time I have been thriving, making huge headway in the fight towards financial freedom, and then like a huge tidal wave I have been smashed down and thrown straight back into the deep end, gotten sick, ended up in hospital or suffering significantly, to the point it has forced me time and time again to start my business from scratch over and over and over.
For the last 2 or so years I just gave up. I didn't admit that to myself or anyone else but I did. I was defeated. I was tired. And for the first time EVER I had a partner who truly loved me and respected me. I wanted to lay in that and soak it all up.
For the first time in a long time I had a home where I actually felt comfortable and welcome. I wanted to bathe in that. And I did.
But the hunger I had always had didn't go away.
I've always known that I am meant for something MORE.
I've always known that I have a huge PURPOSE.
I've never followed the crowd, even when I was a child, I always knew I was different and I always wanted to run my own race.
But right now I'm defeated. Because for the last few weeks I have been lost and not knowing which direction to go in. So many things I wanted to pursue yet none of them jumped out and grabbed me. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to any of those opportunities, yet I wasn't ready to jump right in either.
And then it appeared. I found that THING. That thing that instantly lit me up and made me go YES, that's what I'm supposed to be doing!
And then I found out it would be 40-50grand just to start.
My heart broke.
And I just wanted to give up.
But giving up is not in my blood.
Maybe there's something else I'm supposed to do before this thing. Maybe there's something I need to learn first.
I don't know.
But what I do know... is I will find a way.
And I just wanted to let the world know that Ashleigh Lyn is not going anywhere.
Ashleigh Lyn is still fighting. And one day she will win.

SOMETIMES LIFE IS SH*T.

Yeah, you heard me.
And you know why?

Because if it wasn’t you would never be pushed. You would never make a change. You’d never try something new and you’d certainly never step outside that pretty little comfort zone.

Reality right now? I am so SICK. 8 weeks ago I had surgery, expecting to wake up cured, assuming my life would be better, but instead I feel worse than ever. I thought I was good. In fact I thought I was great! Until I went back to work.

One week back and I am seriously struggling to get out of bed let alone work a 9hr physically demanding shift. But still I do it.

Now would be the perfect time to look at my business and say “I quit” , “it’s too hard”, “I can’t do it”.

But this sickness, this exhaustion, this pain.... THIS is exactly why I HAVE to do it. THIS is exactly why I DON’T give up!

You can use your struggles as excuses, or you can use them as motivation.

I’m exhausted so I can’t spend time on my business.
OR
I’m exhausted so I choose to spend time on my business so I can have more time freedom.

I’m poor so I can’t put money into my business.
OR
I’m poor so I choose to put money into my business so I can become financially free.

Your perspective will either make you or break you.

Choose to see things differently.

Write down all of your excuses. I dare you. And then turn them around into why you can’t afford NOT to do this.

If nothing changes, nothing changes.
Do you really want to still be here, right where you are, in ten years time?
I know I don’t.

This picture of me living my best life in PNG is how I want to live EVERY DAY, not just every now and then. Life is supposed to be fun. I want way more play and way less work.

When you’re sick of your own BS and ready to create a better future for yourself, PM me, let’s do this together.

2020.
This year my partner and I have some MASSIVE challenges to overcome. .

My list of goals for this year is huge, but there are four things I want now more than ever, and right now they all seem so far away. But if I get to the end of this year and I’ve achieved just 3 of them, I’ll be the happiest girl on earth.
Therefore rather than focusing on the large list of about 40 goals I’ve written out, I’ve decided to just focus on the 5 most important ones. The truth is, if I can make these 5 things happen, the rest will simply fall into place a lot easier. .
One of these goals is transitioning to a fully vegan diet and making huge progress in our health and well-being. We want to feel better, look better, and have way more energy & vitality. This is the easiest goal of the 5. They are all BIG goals! .
Another goal is becoming 100% self employed. I’m so motivated to make this a reality this year and really truly step into my power. .
The other two are even more massive and if I were to look at my entire goals list for this year I would be completely overwhelmed and unlikely to achieve anything. .
But... Choosing just 5 goals to focus on rather than 40 is a huge weight off my shoulders and makes me way more likely to achieve them. .
What you focus on is what will actualise. So what are you focusing on this year? What are you making a priority? .
I want more time freedom, more financial freedom, better health, and a better life. I want WAY more fun and way less work. Those are my top goals for this year. And so those are my priorities above ANYTHING else. .
What do you want out of life this year? Think about it.

Your perspective will either imprison you or set you free.
You wanna know why you’re looking at this photo? Because you are on your phone 📲 scrolling your life away, probably bored.
On average, people check their phones 110 times daily! I actually encourage you to open your settings, go into screen time and share how much time you have spent on social media today.
You’re on your phone anyway...why not get paid for it!?!
This week it was announced that 161 popular Aussie stores have already earmarked for closure just one fortnight into the new year.
One by one they are closing. NOW is the time. It’s more important than EVER to get your online presence up and going. The effects of these business closures may not be affecting you directly right now but they will catch up if you’re not ahead of the game.
Online income is where we are headed.
Literally 1-2 hours a day could mean the beginning of a new life for you.
Or you could... just keep scrolling ...

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?

"Because someone bumped into me!!!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

*Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.*

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

*So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"*

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?

Anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.

Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

(Shared from a friend whose cup is full of goodness and inspiration.)

2019 you’ve been challenging. And yet you’ve been the best year of my life (so far). Thank you.

Looking back at some of my memories I realise how very far I have come as a person, and I realise that I deserve a freaking standing novation from myself, rather than the kick up the butt I keep handing out.

Just a few years ago I was completely broken. Life had beaten me down to the point that just going to the petrol station on my own was a freaking scary arse hell of a mission. My resolution to that was to do the scariest thing I could possibly think of. I travelled around Australia on my own, stayed with people I had never met, and built my business along the way. I tripled my team, completed my sponsorship, and really truly stepped out of my comfort zone. From that day forward I’ve been a completely different person, a force to be reckoned with.

You see, no matter what life hands out to you, the way you respond to it is ALWAYS your choice. I wasn’t prepared to let the people who hurt me so deeply CONTINUE to keep hurting me. It was my choice to break out of that cycle, to leave the past behind, and to create a better future.

I don’t care what your excuse is, you have no reason to go through life being permanently unhappy. No matter what life has dished out to you, there is ALWAYS someone who has it worse off than you, and they’re out there holding there head high, getting on with their life.

Life isn’t about what happens to you. It’s about what you decide to do about it.
If I ran into any of my abusers or past hurts today, I know I could happily hold my head up high and stare them straight in the eye with a smile on my face. Because they didn’t break me. I won. I chose to win. And I will never give anyone the satisfaction of seeing me fall. I am a phoenix and I will always rise from the ashes.

This year has brought many of it’s own challenges, the main one being a very painful fight with endometriosis, but I’m thankful for this. It has given me so much insight into what people with this condition go through, and it has given me knowledge on how to help sufferers in the future. I really feel like this was a very special gift. There is always a silver lining if you are prepared to look for it.

Yesterday I said goodbye to my gorgeous fur baby 🐱 of 19 years 😥💔. It was a sad end to the year but I’m glad she’s no longer suffering. May she fly high with the angels.

I achieved hardly any of my goals this year. Two out of Sixteen to be precise. And when I first realised this I was pretty disgusted in myself. However one of those was becoming a fully qualified health coach, certainly a big achievement, and the second was travelling with my man, the most important person in my life. The other goals are important too, of course, but I’m still working on them, and that’s what really matters. We can’t get everything we want in life over night. We wouldn’t be ready for them, and as Billy Eilish says… “I got everything I wanted, and if I’m being honest, it might have been a nightmare.”

I’ve rediscovered a lot of passions this year. I well and truly got back into my art and I think I finally found my flare. I’ve certainly discovered a passion for plants and gardening, and my love of cooking is finally coming back after the cheffing industry tainted it for me. I’m slowly finding my way back to veganism and raw foods, something that used to be a huge passion of mine, and all my hard work over the past 10 years is finally coming together to create something beautiful called self employment. BOOM.

I don’t take no for an answer when it comes to my dreams. I know what I want. And I’m going to get it. End of story.

2019 I am not excited to say goodbye to you like so many others, in fact I don’t think I’ve felt that way for a few years now, because I see everything as a blessing and a road to where I want to go. But I am excited for 2020 and all the new possibilities it brings. I’m excited to chase my dreams and I’m excited for what the future holds. Many years ago someone I admire told me that according to my astrology chart I would come into full fruition in February of 2020. I can actually see it coming my way. And boy am I excited.

I hope that no matter how your 2019 has played out, you can find joy and meaning in the year that has been. I hope that no matter what life throws at you, you find a way to feel joy, happiness and love. Because you so deserve that. You are an amazing human being with a life full of potential and opportunity. Your past is just a story, and once you realise this, it has no power over you. Wear your scars on your sleeve with pride. If you do this, nobody can use them against you. Remember that. And have an amazing 2020.
