It's Season Two! We are so excited for our first Soul Fueler of 2024, author Ashley Ellington Brown. Ashley's book was instrumental in transforming our Host Damesha's life as a new mom, inspiring her to prioritize self care and to create a tailored morning routine that rejuvenated her spirit. Her book was also an inspiration for us to beginning the Sunday Soulday Podcast. Ashley is author of the multiple-award-winning guide A Beautiful Morning: How a Morning Ritual Can Feed Your Soul and Transform Your Life.

Ashley's own morning ritual inspired her to write the book in order to share this powerful tool with others. A freelance writer for more than 20 years, Ashley also writes the blog "Joy Detectives" about her quest to find joy in both the everyday and the extraordinary. Her writing has appeared in Yoga Journal, Thrive Global, The Daily Positive, The Rea Tricycle, The Eden Magazine, and the anthology Song of Ourself: Voices in Unison.
