About the Author
Hello! My name is Ashleigh and I am humbled to have the opportunity to create Empower Books. Like many of you, I found several new hobbies during the pandemic. For me, writing and creating a children's book series became one of them. As a mom of a daughter and son as well as a former collegiate athlete, the first book of this series will strive to promote young girls to participate in sports.
Did you know that by age 14 girls drop out of sports at two times the rate as boys? Studies show sports assist with many life lessons such as body image, confidence, working well with others and so much more! We want to motivate and encourage girls to tap into their inner potential to play sports, have fun, create life-long friendships, and inspire future generations.
​
As a Certified Empowerment Coach that teaches mindful concepts to adults, I found myself desiring to create a book for children about Mindfulness. 'Mindful Me' does just that. In kid-friendly ways, it shares tools and strategies children can use to feel empowered to manage their big emotions. Studies show children can learn these strategies now and carry them through to adulthood.
​
I hope you enjoy the current books and stay tuned for more!
