Ashleigh Golson, also known as The Bodi Positive Goddess, is a self-love coach, body-love mentor, healer, and the founder of The Bodi Positive Goddess LLC. Her work is deeply rooted in lived experience and personal transformation.

Growing up, Ashleigh never felt permitted to simply exist as herself. Her body was constantly critiqued, too fat, not curvy enough, not the “right” shape. She was often reduced to being “just a pretty face,” as if her worth stopped at her appearance. High school was especially brutal, leaving her feeling bullied simply for taking up space.

Like so many women, Ashleigh internalized society’s standards. She longed to become the version of femininity that seemed most celebrated, light skinned, long curly hair, and the so-called “perfect” body. When she looked in the mirror, she did not see beauty. She saw everything she believed she was not.

So she tried to change herself.

Weaves became a way to feel worthy. Stuffing jeans to create curves became a form of survival. Temporary confidence was chased wherever it could be found, because lasting self-love felt out of reach.

That disconnection from herself followed Ashleigh into adulthood. She chose the wrong men. She settled for relationships simply to say she had someone. Abuse, humiliation, and tears were mistaken for love, because deep down, she believed that was all she deserved.

Healing changed everything.

Ashleigh began to reclaim her crown, her body, her spirit, and her voice. She did not wait until she reached some imaginary destination to love herself. Instead, she chose to honor her reflection as it is, while still allowing herself to evolve.

“I’m not where I want to be yet, but I love what’s reflected back at me until I get there.”

Today, Ashleigh describes herself as evolving and healing every day. Confidence still fluctuates, but the difference now is that she has the tools to navigate those moments, and those tools are meant to be shared.

That calling gave birth to The Bodi Positive Goddess LLC.

Ashleigh created this space for women who recognize themselves in her story, women who have been conditioned to disconnect from their bodies, silence their intuition, and shrink themselves to fit expectations. Her work does not just inspire women, it challenges them to look within, to remember who they are beneath trauma, conditioning, and societal pressure.

Through spirituality, beauty, and self-love coaching, Ashleigh helps women face their shadows, honor their bodies, and stand firmly in their power. Her background in beauty and spirituality shaped her intuitive, regal approach, one rooted in healing rather than perfection.

Ashleigh is a body-positive warrior, breaking open mindsets and healing self-esteem simply by being fully herself.

The hunger to shift confidence and transform the collective is what fuels her work, because this journey is not about perfection.

“This work isn’t about perfection, it’s about remembrance, evolution, and liberation.”
