A Day In Her Life Episode 142: A Day In Her Life with Ashley Kang - Intentional, Structured, and Joyful - Leaving Fashion to Invest in Family
This week, we’re sitting down with Ashley Kang, a former fashion executive who made the intentional decision to pause her career almost a year ago to invest in herself and her family. Ashley shares what it’s like to leave a job she loved at a fashion company after five years, move to New Jersey to live near her family (yes, literally in the same building complex), and build an entirely new structure around being present for her two boys, ages 2 and 4, and the structures they’ve built to support that.
