This week I'm stoked to bring you a new interview with one of my clients - Ashley Travassos who during our work together transitioned from being at top of her corporate career ladder as a marketing executive - to starting her practice as a holistic nutritionist.  She shares ALL the details in the episode, including how and why her career change journey was particularly hard & complicated - Ashley is what I refer to as circumstantial career changer. She will also share how by luck or sheer determination & willingness to put herself out there she landed herself her first nutritionist role within months of deciding to go for this career and SO much more.  We will also touch upon topics that I believe dont often get enough air time - which is feeling the grief of past lives and parts of our identity we leave behind when we decide to seek for a purpose-led career. Honestly, a must-listen for every career changer - so many beautiful insights that Ashley so openly is sharing in this episode, including what Ariel & Ursula from the Little Mermaid have to do with it. ________________ About Ashley Ashley is a Holistic Nutritionist and Fitness Instructor Specialist (FIS) with over a decade of experience helping people reach their health goals. While teaching advanced fitness classes for years, she realized that many class participants were looking to lose weight, have more energy, and improve strength. Fitness was providing them with some benefits but they weren't quite seeing the results they were looking for. She knew that nutrition was the missing piece for them, so she decided to take her wellness expertise to the next level and sought out a formal education to learn from the leading nutrition experts.   Her passion is to merge fitness and nutrition to help people in the areas of increased energy, better digestion, and weight loss. She works with her fiance Hugo Moniz, Personal Trainer and Certified Life Coach, through their wellness business Feel the Difference with a focus on what they call the trifecta of wellness: Mindest, Fitness, and Nutrition.  Ashley works to understand your unique nutritional fingerprint - what's working for you and what's not. Using a combination of advanced assessment tools to understand your body, Ashley creates a customized easy-to-follow nutrition protocol (like no other!) tailored to get to the root cause of your problems and treat the sources, not the symptoms.
