Have you ever felt alone on your self development journey?
You've put in the work. LOTS of it. Sometimes it's been difficult. Other times, it's been downright PAINFUL. They didn't tell you when you embarked on this path how hard it would be. But the PAYOFF?? WOW. The payoff is BEAUTIFUL, and full of incredible experiences, friendships, and triumphs. And it's likely that many of those triumphs aren't known "out there" in the world. Most of the wins are silent and behind the curtain. Often, we don't even stop and gives ourselves a minute to celebrate ourselves, pat ourselves on the back, or treat ourselves to a well-deserved day (or week or MONTH) off! I know this situation all too well, because it was my story. |

WHO AM I? My name is Ash Ahern, and I'm a dreamer. Ever since I was a little girl watching Oprah on my grandmother's living room floor, I KNEW I was going to be somebody. I don't remember a specific event or age when I realized that I no longer had that KNOWING. The knowing was replaced with WISHING. And at some point, the WISHING was replaced with HOPING. |
The problem with HOPING is that you can start to lose it, and it's usually despair that steps in to fill up that void. Both hope and despair are merely perceptual; nothing more than educated guesses, since they point towards a future set of circumstances which are, by definition, unknown.
I've spent my entire adulthood searching and reaching to get my KNOWING back.
I spent THOUSANDS of dollars buying programs and hiring coaches that helped me re-discover bits of myself, but it wasn't until I DECIDED to stop searching and start BEING that my life began to change.

What if all the searching and striving, hustle and grinding, could STOP.
Read that again.
Seriously! How would your LIFE CHANGE if you:
#1 - KNEW deep down, in your heart of hearts; at the molecular SOUL level WHO. YOU. ARE.
#2 - KNEW deep down, in your heart of hearts; at the molecular SOUL level WHAT YOU'RE HERE TO DO.
Would KNOWING both of those things allow you to shed all of the crap in the way of your FULLEST EXPRESSION; making way for your ultimate EXPANSION and realization of the life YOU ARE MEANT to LIVE????
Just curious.
Because IF SO....this event is for YOU.

The I.D Conference & Awards Gala was created for 2 reasons:
1. To support YOU in creating and defining WHO you are (your IDENTITY) and what you're here to do (your calling, mission, purpose), and 2. Recognizing those who are doing just that! The last award I was presented with was from the Melanie Gissell Foundation in January 2018 when I co-trained a group of coaches from Honduras as part of the Radiant Coaches Academy (where I attained my Holistic Business Coaching Certification) philanthropy program. It was more of a formality than anything, but the feeling I felt stays with me to this day. |

Omar Gomez and Matilde Torres took the time to recognize our contribution and had glass plaques engraved with our names on them. It was the single most memorable moment from that entire trip for me, not because I was gifted a trophy, but because I had put in a ton of work to get to where I was, and it was the first time I was recognized for my work as a coach. I will cherish it always.
