12. Styled Sobriety: Bonding over motherhood, style, and sobriety with Personal Stylist Ashley Ayres

Made for Mothers

Meet Ashley Ayres, a wife, mother of four, and the founder of Collectively Styled, a personal styling service aimed at assisting moms and female founders in developing a style strategy with supportive guidance. With two decades of experience in the style industry, Ashley empathizes with the myriad challenges women encounter while balancing motherhood, careers, and everything in between. Her journey took a transformative turn in 2020 when she embarked on a sober lifestyle (hello, Ashley 2.0), a decision that catalyzed the inception of her business.

In our conversation, Ashley and I delve into the emerging trend of sober curiosity, reflecting on our diverse experiences with alcohol and our shared navigation of sobriety, which have become pivotal chapters in our lives. We explore themes such as breaking generational trauma cycles within our families, crafting meaningful legacies, embracing individual style irrespective of one's motherhood phase, essential wardrobe staples, and more.

I deeply value Ashley's openness, sincerity, and commitment to personal growth and self-love, which radiate contagious energy. Through the Made for Mothers platform, I cherish the opportunity to engage in candid dialogues that highlight the multifaceted nature of motherhood, celebrating mothers as the remarkable individuals they are.
