Show Up: How You Do One Thing Is How You Do Everything
▸ Show notes from the creator
Three hundred days of movement didn't just change Ashley's body. It changed her finances, her spiritual life, her relationships, and her ability to handle the hard stuff life kept throwing at her. In this episode, Ashley breaks down the surprisingly real connection between showing up for your fitness and showing up for every other area of your life, and why that one small commitment might be the thing that finally gets everything else unstuck.
She gets into the unexpected ways consistent movement spilled into her mental health, her money habits, her friendships, and even her faith. She also talks honestly about the moments this year that were anything but easy, why showing up matters most when everything feels hardest, and the mindset shift that changed how she sees the challenges coming her way. If something feels off in your life right now, this episode is going to make you think twice about where the real fix starts.

How you do one thing is how you do everything.
00:08
What's up you guys? Famous Ashley Grant here.
00:10
Welcome to More Movement Please, the podcast
00:12
where I hope to inspire you to move your body
00:13
more. Today I want to talk about the idea that
00:16
how you do one thing is how you do everything.
00:19
Basically, this was taught to me in a class that
00:22
I was taking about money mindset, and it kind
00:26
of got me to thinking that, is it true? And after
00:30
more than 300 days of movement, I have to tell
00:33
y 'all, it kind of is. How you do one thing is
00:36
how you do everything. Now, let's explain what
00:38
I mean by that. When you start showing up for
00:40
yourself, that's when a lot of things change.
00:44
So when I started moving more and committing
00:48
to myself and deciding that I was going to really
00:52
get serious about fitness, that's when I started
00:55
recognizing a lot of the other ways that I was
00:57
not showing up for myself in my life. Some of
01:00
the things that have happened since I started
01:02
really committing to myself include, but aren't
01:07
limited to, starting to focus on what I'm eating
01:11
more, starting to look for the clients that I
01:14
actually want to work with. I actually started
01:17
a high yield savings account. I moved some of
01:19
my money into a high yield savings account. and
01:22
just other things like that. Like I started purging
01:25
more. I started getting rid of a lot of the clutter
01:27
in my life. I started letting go of clutter around
01:31
the house, clutter in my emails, even clutter
01:33
in my cloud storage and my hard drive. All the
01:37
things. And it's just interesting how when you
01:40
start really showing up for yourself and committing
01:43
to the fact that, hey, I'm wanting to make a
01:46
change for my life. I want to better my life.
01:48
You start recognizing all the places that you
01:51
weren't taking care of yourself before. Or at
01:53
least it's been my experience. And so it's kind
01:56
of wild to me that when I started this whole
01:58
thing more than 300 days ago, the goal was simply
02:01
to start taking better care of my physical health.
02:06
It's fascinating to me that along the way, I've
02:09
started taking care of my mental health, my emotional
02:12
health, my financial health, even my spiritual
02:15
health. I've made jokes before that, you know,
02:17
in class is when I pray the most. I've said that
02:21
so many times, like, please, God, don't let me
02:22
pass out. Please, God, don't let me throw up.
02:24
Please, God, let me get through this next rep,
02:26
that kind of stuff. But the reality is it goes
02:29
way beyond that. I pray more. now than I ever
02:33
have in my whole life I mean it's kind of wild
02:36
to me just how much I'm committing to spirituality
02:38
and I don't necessarily mean you know in in the
02:42
ways some people may think of it because um I've
02:46
never really talked about this before but I had
02:48
some bad experiences with you know, the institution
02:51
of church as it were. And so when I say that
02:55
I've gotten more spiritual, no, I'm not saying
02:56
that I've like started going to church all the
02:58
time and things like that, which I know is much
03:00
to the chagrin of my mother and some other people
03:03
in my life. But the truth is I have found my
03:06
way back to God in ways that I never in a million
03:11
years anticipated. I never thought that something
03:14
like going to the gym more and showing up for
03:18
myself. would be the thing that would make me
03:22
start showing up in so many aspects of my life.
03:24
And I'm not going to lie to y 'all. It's not
03:27
been easy. It has been a rough year. And I mean,
03:31
because the truth is that life is hard. Like
03:33
there's no sugarcoating that. There's no, you
03:37
know, dancing around that. The truth is sometimes
03:39
some aspects of life absolutely suck. But I am.
03:45
I am grateful that the more I show up for myself,
03:48
the easier it is for me to handle the stuff that's
03:51
coming to me. And I'm one of those people that
03:55
believes in some of the woo -woo. I like the
03:56
manifestation and the law of attraction of it
03:59
all. And I have started to really hone in on
04:02
the fact that life is not happening to me. It's
04:04
happening for me. I'm starting to really focus
04:07
on that. And I'm starting to focus on, you know,
04:12
the universe meeting you halfway, so to speak.
04:15
That's one of the things I learned from my money
04:16
mindset mentor, Denise Duffield Thomas, is she
04:19
said, you know, yeah, there's law of attraction
04:21
and you can try to just attract things into your
04:23
life, but it doesn't mean there's no action.
04:26
That's one of the big things about the law of
04:28
attraction. What actually makes it work is the
04:30
action. You have to meet the universe halfway
04:33
and show that you are willing to show up because
04:36
as you start showing up, that's when you start
04:38
bringing other things into your life. In addition
04:41
to finally showing up for myself financially
04:43
and spiritually and mentally and emotionally,
04:48
honestly, I've cut some people out of my life
04:51
that I was starting to realize were toxic. I
04:53
have started really nurturing the friendships
04:57
that mean the most to me. I've really started
05:00
to focus on the things that are for my highest
05:03
good. That's the best way I can put it is I'm
05:05
focusing on the things that I know are for my
05:08
highest good. It's been a really interesting
05:12
journey. How I do fitness is how I'm doing everything.
05:16
If you had told me a year ago, and I've said
05:20
this before, if you told me a year ago some of
05:22
the things that are in my life now would be in
05:23
my life, I wouldn't have believed it because
05:25
I couldn't see it. I couldn't see that something
05:28
as simple as starting to work out would change
05:32
so many other things. So basically, the whole
05:36
point of this episode is I want to tell you that
05:39
if you're wanting to make a change in your life,
05:41
if you're wanting to start really bringing the
05:44
magic into your life, start showing up for yourself.
05:48
It is one of the best things that's ever happened
05:51
to me. I mean, like I said, I won't tell you
05:53
that this year has been a year of rainbows and
05:55
unicorns because the truth is it hasn't. There
05:58
have been some bad things that have happened.
06:00
That's just the way life is, right? It is not
06:03
like every single day is magic. Even though there
06:06
is magic in every day, it's not like every day
06:10
is just sunshine and roses. It's just not. And
06:13
I'm recognizing just how important it is that
06:18
even in those moments, especially in those moments,
06:21
that's when it is so critical that I still show
06:23
up for myself. That's when it's critical that
06:25
if I've made a decision, even though it sometimes
06:27
hurts, to have made that decision, I have to
06:30
stand by it. So like one of those decisions was
06:33
that I decided that I'm not going to go to the
06:35
gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays anymore. And y
06:37
'all, it's only been two weeks and I'm still
06:40
really struggling with the fact that I made that
06:42
decision. It's very difficult for me to accept
06:45
that I've made that decision, but there's a reason
06:48
for it. And though I can't really get into it
06:50
right now. I have to stand by that commitment,
06:53
just like I had to stand by the commitment that
06:55
I was going to be the more movement, please,
06:56
girl, just like I had to stand by the commitment
06:58
that I am going to show up for myself and work
07:00
out and move every single day. I am moving every
07:03
single day. I may not be moving as much as I
07:05
want to, but I am moving every single day. And
07:08
that's important to me. So. Long story short,
07:12
I want you guys to start showing up for yourself.
07:15
If you are listening to this and you are feeling
07:17
like something is lacking in your life, if you're
07:18
listening to this and you're feeling like something
07:20
just doesn't feel right, maybe it's the fact
07:23
that you're not showing up for yourself. How
07:24
you do one thing is how you do everything. And
07:26
I want you to make the one thing that you do
07:28
this week is to start showing up for yourself.
07:31
Start showing up for yourself. I want you to
07:34
do that because. even though it won't make things
07:38
easier. In fact, in a lot of ways, it'll start
07:40
making things harder first. It's going to get
07:42
better. and it's gonna get better, and then it's
07:44
gonna get better. And these things compound on
07:46
themselves. And so I want that for you. I hope
07:49
this was inspirational for you. I hope this message
07:52
moves you to start showing up for yourself. And
