Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Osborne
Hi Ashley, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My journey began with a deep curiosity about human potential, creativity, and the powerful connection between the mind, body, and spirit. Growing up, dance was my greatest passion, yet I struggled to believe in my own potential to achieve success in this area. As a result, I stepped away from dance during my young adult years. However, at the age of 26, I intentionally returned to dance—not just as an artistic pursuit, but as a profound act of self-love and a commitment to honor the desires deeply embedded in my heart. This pivotal decision marked the beginning of my transformative journey.
My interest in manifestation first sparked during my undergraduate studies in strategic communication at Ohio University. Though I always felt a strong connection to a higher power, my upbringing in a Christian environment ingrained subconscious beliefs of being inherently “unworthy, yet loved by God anyway.” This deeply embedded programming limited my ability to fully realize my potential, placing a ceiling on my achievements and manifestations. Recognizing this pattern of self-sabotage became a critical turning point. I knew that to genuinely thrive, I needed to cultivate profound self-love, recognize my inherent worthiness, and deeply trust myself as a divine and abundant being.
Before fully embracing my current role as a manifestation coach and personal trainer, I established a successful career in Los Angeles as a social media manager in the entertainment industry. Photography also emerged as another significant creative outlet, allowing me to collaborate with notable brands such as Reebok, BeautyCon, and Buldak (ramen noodle company)—a passion I continue to explore today. Despite external validation and working with prestigious companies like The Oprah Winfrey Network and IMAX, my entertainment marketing career always felt incomplete and unfulfilling on a soul level. The external validation fed my ego’s desire for importance, worthiness, and success, but it did not align with my deeper yearning for meaningful, impactful work.
The global pandemic lockdown of 2020 was another profound turning point, granting me the clarity and courage to realign my career with my soul’s desire for deeper purpose and community impact. Manifesting a full tuition-paid opportunity, I returned to Ohio University to earn a Master of Arts in Community Dance, merging my lifelong passion for dance with my dedication to community building and healing. Upon returning to Los Angeles in 2022, I brought this renewed sense of purpose and clarity with me.
Inspired by my transformative personal experiences, I founded my manifestation coaching practice, ‘Actualize with Ashley.’ Through my coaching, I specialize in helping ambitious, high-achieving women unlock their fullest potential through movement (as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, and dance educator), emotional healing, and self-mastery. My digital guides, workshops, and my signature Shadow Work Workbook are intentionally designed to help women reclaim their authenticity, cultivate profound self-love, recognize their inherent worthiness, and align deeply with their dreams and desires. I approach transformation as a holistic integration of the mind, body, and spirit.
At the core of my message lies a simple yet powerful truth: lasting manifestation begins within. True transformation comes from deep self-love, believing in your inherent worth, and trusting yourself as a divine, abundant being. Emotional and energetic mastery acts as the key to opening the door to the life you’ve always envisioned. Today, I remain deeply committed to guiding women as they transform their subconscious patterns, embody their healthiest and highest selves, and manifest the abundant lives they truly deserve.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The journey hasn’t always been smooth; in fact, it’s been filled with significant challenges and moments of profound self-discovery. One of the earliest struggles was overcoming deep-rooted self-doubt, particularly around my potential in dance. My initial decision to step away from dance was driven by feelings of inadequacy and fears that I couldn’t succeed. Returning to dance at 26 required me to confront these insecurities head-on, embracing vulnerability and choosing self-love over comfort.
Another major obstacle was navigating the internal conflict between my external success and internal fulfillment. Despite achieving professional success and external validation in the entertainment industry, I felt a persistent void—a sense that something deeper and more meaningful was missing. While my ego thrived on external recognition and validation, my soul yearned for impact, connection, and purpose-driven work. Acknowledging and acting on this internal dissonance was challenging, requiring courage to leave behind what appeared successful from the outside to pursue true fulfillment.
The process of unlearning subconscious beliefs stemming from my upbringing also posed significant challenges. Growing up in a Christian environment left me with deeply embedded beliefs around unworthiness, limiting my capacity to fully embrace abundance and success. Breaking free from this pattern involved extensive inner work, shadow work, emotional healing, and consciously reprogramming my beliefs about worthiness and abundance.
Transitioning from the entertainment industry into coaching and wellness required not only inner transformation but also practical adjustments, including financial stability, building a new professional identity, and gaining credibility in an entirely new field. Additionally, the global pandemic introduced uncertainty and risk, yet it also offered an unexpected clarity and courage to follow my deeper calling.
Ultimately, these struggles have significantly shaped who I am today, teaching me resilience, self-compassion, and trust in my intuition. Each obstacle deepened my commitment to my purpose and enhanced my empathy and ability to guide others authentically. Today, I leverage these experiences to empower other women navigating their own journeys of healing, transformation, and manifestation.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
My business, ‘Actualize with Ashley,’ is an intuitive life/manifestation coaching and holistic wellness practice dedicated to empowering ambitious, high-achieving women to unlock their fullest potential through movement, emotional healing, and energetic mastery.

Each offering is thoughtfully designed to help clients reclaim their authenticity, build profound self-love, recognize their inherent worthiness, and deeply align with their dreams and desires. My holistic approach emphasizes emotional and energetic healing, subconscious transformation, and physical wellness as foundational elements for lasting life changes.
One significant aspect that sets me apart is my own energetic presence and embodiment of what I teach. My energy is vibrant, magnetic, and uplifting—I naturally light up any space I enter, creating a high-vibrational container for my clients. This unique energetic alignment isn’t just something I intellectually understand; it is deeply embodied, and this is the transformative environment my clients experience when they work with me virtually or in-person in Los Angeles, CA.

Brand authenticity is something I am exceptionally proud of; my approach is real, raw, and relatable.

Rather than offering surface-level solutions, I empower clients to confront and heal deep-rooted emotional blocks within my professional scope, fostering genuine transformation and lasting results.
What truly sets ‘Actualize with Ashley’ apart is my core philosophy that lasting manifestation begins within. My work centers on cultivating deep self-love, belief in one’s inherent worth, and trust in not only The Divine Source, but also oneself as a divine, abundant being. This foundation is what enables my clients to achieve emotional mastery and energetic alignment, ultimately transforming their lives from the inside out.
