If i’m being honest, it sounds like you need a break. And when I say a break, i mean let go of your responsibilities and be okay with not uploading a video. Focus on yourself and eventually the drive to create content should return because you’ve given “yourself” the space to exist and to allow this phase you are in to occur. I do fully believe that our lives are our own and do not belong to stone (other people or pre-set internalized decisions). You will make a video when you feel you have a message to share like this one. And we will always be here to listen when you are ready. 😊
There is another way to look at this from a spiritual perspective. Stop trying! Let it come to you. Find your flow of life to peace and happiness. Become enlightened. When I first saw Ashley's video I thought that would be the topic. Rather it seems she is trying to find a way to psychologically cope with down time she needs when she is driven by doing. For me "the art of not doing" has the potential to bring us to a place of contentment. If we only can stop trying to reach or grasp at something that may not even be there. I am not there yet, but this idea of stopping my doing to get somewhere is intriguing. In a way the whole idea is really a big paradox. To get someplace by stopping to try to get there. Also, how being trans enters into any of this is something I think seriously about. Sometimes I try to stop my becoming in my transition and just find a place to know that is where I belong. How to integrate advancing my journey with these ideas is interesting, but also challenging at times. Ashley, I would only add, stop fretting. You are about to undertake one of the most serious acts of your life. You need the time now to be in a calm place. It is OK. It is part of your plan. It is part of who you must be.
Last year was a whirlwind of activity preparing and leading up to SRS. Many times, I felt overwhelmed by it all, but I kept my sanity by taking time, and going on little adventures. It's vitally important to stay grounded , and not get swept up by all the chaos.
While I was listening to this (and it resonates strongly with me), I got to thinking that being so focussed on growth or doing over time can make you forget to just be satisfied with who you are and where you are already at.
There is definitely a case to be made for (many) extroverts seeking comfort in something outside themselves. For many of us that is simply not an option and we have to deal with the self-sufficient/me against the world mentality, for better or worse. Is that any healthier? If I'm honest, no. But introverts have to maintain a constant vigil against forces that try to control us. We all have something to contribute, we all have something to say, and thank you Ashley for encouraging the dialogue.
Definitely sounds like burnout! I am really struggling with a lot of these issues like energy and the need to force myself to do much, with guilt definitely being a driver… I hope you get through it and that your tips and hacks work; I will definitely give them a go!
Another great video. You think deeply, and your honesty shows forth when expressing those thoughts. It's better to be real and transparent versus generating content based on a formula or superficial, like an eyeliner tutorial. At some point, we viewers, do know we're Trans, we have been inspired by your, and other girls, journeys. Therefore, videos on life perspectives, worldviews, strategies, etc, are needed. Thanks for all you do for us.😊
I am most productive whenever I am not doing anything, ideas come to me bc there is no rush on anything. Creatively I have seen also that things just get easier that were very challenging once I let go of things I feel forced to do. I want to spend my energy in a healthier way, not be completely burned out with no energy
One thing that I will tell you as somebody that’s been in the community for over 30 years is please please please please look into the surgery deal before you get it done you seem to be pretty sexually active and after the surgery none of that comes back. I say this as somebody that cares.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast ROMANS 10:13 For “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Ashley, having little problems with my computer.. But I really like the way you come across. Very attractive lady and when someone like yourself has a brain and a personality, that makes you extremely a much more incredible woman. Jeff

Hi Ashley A! I've been watching your videos for almost a couple years now. You are so so so inspiring as a trans woman, human. I'm looking to start the medical process of transitioning (hormones, etc.). Living in California makes it way too expensive especially as a grad student to sink money in when I know there are much more strategic ways to find services that can provide what I need and many of my trans friends need as well to save money. Do you have any suggestions, recommendations, or strategies about how to obtain medication perhaps internationally, while still having a local clinic to do lab tests for blood, hormone levels, etc. From one trans friend to another
I dont want bottom surgery and I don't feel like it's necessary to validate my identity. I'd rather be dedicated to a growth mindset. I have leidan factor 5 so possibly blood clotting severely disqualifies especially when I feel like the surgery itself is driven a lot by western pharma industry. I'm just speaking my experience
Hi Ashley, as always great to see and hear you and happy for you that there is someone in your privet life ☺️ it sound very familiar maybe other reasons, but ok Il try to keep it short 😅 Im planing my "lazy days" 😁 2 or 3 in a month, days where Im planing in purpose do just nothing serious chill rest play on PS watch series, days planned for bull💩 that I love. For the rest a good planing, few or one target for a day quit easy to accomplish, where I can be more focused on the steps to my main goal. Now from the Nathalies golden thoughts we have only one life we should enjoy it not run through it, live how we like to.

Cs 1.6 days, amirite? Did you ever surf? Whays causing you to live at home for a year before surgery? After surgery i can totally see why, help wise, but why before?
Life is so complicated in so many way. The art of the dance of being not productive to be productive. Thank you for healthy video ❤

Hey Ashley I'm a new subscriber happy I found you love your style stay sweet ,,,,Luv Janis
It's always nice to take a break and not do anything
Can you make A video tips and advice for trans girls students ( high school Student's) ❤
Our of curiosity. Did you get breast surgery? Or was it just HRT that did that?
I have a natural talent for being content without productivity
You heard the voice come through for a second when the focus dropped
Ashley, has anyone ever told you that you are gorgeous. I hope that boyfriend puts a ring on your finger. 😊
Side note... your audio was really low, perhaps something in the editing or in the very recording process.
