## Resource

In this episode, Ashley discusses the importance of building one's identity in God rather than allowing the world to shape it. She shared her personal journey of transitioning out of network marketing and going through a refining period where she lost her previous identity and visibility. Ashley explained how this process helped her understand the difference between loving her craft and focusing on the spectacle, and the importance of letting God magnify her work rather than seeking recognition from the world. She emphasized standing firm on values and working from alignment with God's timing rather than operating from urgency. Ashley encouraged listeners to reflect on where their identity is rooted and to seek a deeper relationship with God to discover their true purpose and identity.
