E 137: Unlock Your Potential: A Conversation with Ashley Sumner

We all want to be our best selves and reach our goals. We want connection and purpose in our lives. It can be a hard and lonely road with a lot of speed bumps and wrong turns. Ashley Sumner, the CEO and founder of Liminal, talks with us about a modern coaching platform she created to support people to unlock their full potential. 

For Sarah and I, when we hear the word coach, we automatically put our guard up in the same way as when we hear the word MLM. Of course we were hesitant, but we are always open to listening to someone’s story. Ashley shares with us that she is working to destigmatize the idea of having a coach by vetting each coach and putting parameters around the process. One of the most fascinating aspects of Liminal is that they match you with a coach based on your specific needs. This isn't the first time that Ashley has been interested in matchmaking.  Be sure to stay until the end of the episode where Ashley tells us her story of how she became a real life matchmaker early in her career.

We hope you enjoy our conversation with Ashley as she shares another possible tool for your mental health tool box.

Xo,

Amy & Sarah
