E174: Finding your True Self and Purpose - Interview with Ashling Henderson

In this episode, Pete speaks to Ashling Henderson, a new entrepreneur living in Belfast. Her background is in medical science, she has been a scientist since she left university, but Ashling has decided to take a career break to focus solely on her entrepreneurial journey; founding a health and wellness company.   They discuss entrepreneurship, values, mindset, health and more in this thought-provoking and authentic episode.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Ashling recently became self-employed, she is enjoying having life on her own terms but has still found the change a challenge. There isn’t anyone in her family who have tried the entrepreneurial lifestyle or been their own boss, it’s not an environment she has been exposed to until now. Fire in the belly to Ashling means being ambitious, driven and knowing you need to and will excel in something, even if it takes you time to find what that is. The health and beauty industry means that Ashling is putting herself out there a lot. She can sometimes struggle with having to show up as her brave self when there are days when she is feeling a lot less than her best. To get through this she reminds herself that being honest about how she is feeling is important as the more she can be authentic, the better she can then show up for others. Ashleigh says as a child she wasn’t that different to who she is now! She was always open to learning, sporty and confident. She grew up with a great supportive group of friends and family including her siblings.   BEST MOMENTS  “Everything is really, really exciting at the moment” “I’m the first one in my family to go after that something different” “Adrenaline is my thing” “When I am authentic that’s when I can show up as my best self for other people” VALUABLE RESOURCES Subscribe to Fire In The Belly Podcast on Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fire-in-the-belly/id1499375061) ABOUT THE GUEST Ashling Henderson ABOUT THE HOST The ‘Mighty Pete Lonton’ from the ‘Mighty 247’ company is your main host of ‘Fire In The Belly’.  Pete is an Entrepreneur, Mentor, Coach, Property Investor, and father of 3 beautiful girls.
