Ashley also opened up about her personal mantra she has for herself as a pick me up when she does feel more insecure about her boyd.

“‘It’s okay. We’re feeling insecure.’ I don’t fake it. I have faked it. But I think that it’s okay to have those moments. And it’s okay to live in that,” she shares.

Ashley went on, “We don’t have to take ourselves and try to be something that we’re not. And I think that that’s the most important thing is to allow those feelings, but to not revel in that. It’s about handling stress. How are you going to handle it in the moments?”
