Just 4 years ago, before Ashley decided to make a change of her own, she was exhausted from life. She was simply TIRED!

After years of struggling with lack of purpose, confidence, and all of the "why is this happening to me" conversations with God, she found herself (with her kids) fed up & homeless.

She was stressed out and depressed from holding on to the pain of a past miscarriage, failing at her first business, relationships, and life in general because of her decisions, and trying to handle things on her own.

She said to herself, "SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BREAK."

Since her newly found freedom, she has authored the book "SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BREAK: HOW TO LIVE SPIRITUALLY FREE WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE BONDAGE OF YOUR PAST AGAIN"

She is also the Owner and CEO of Thavine Revelations L.L.C where they help you tell your testimony with their Testimony Tees. Their shirts speak louder than words!

She is the Host of the new podcast "Jesus and My Girls" and the "Lift A Sister Up Roundtable Talk."

She held that scripture near to her heart and knew that God had something special planned for her. She moved from Mississippi to further her career and little did she know that the same scripture she had read as a little girl would lead her to the young woman she is now. After much prayer, Something to Chat About was born. Her passion for fashion has turned into a business that she is so proud of and grateful that she can share that same passion with you as her customers.
