Tweetables: “When the economy crashed I really realized that everything is fleeting and you can choose what you do with your time.” — @evaruns [0:02:20] “A girl died by suicide. Her name was Amanda Todd and that fuelled part of my passion of we need more tools for girls and has set me up on this journey of helping women thrive.” — @evaruns [0:03:30] “Giving ourselves permission to do, be, and have whatever it is that we want starts with our childhood and so many of us forget what it's like to be eight.” — @evaruns [0:03:40] “They still have the exact same worries. It has just escalated with social media and photoshopping. It's just more now than when we were kids.” — @evaruns [0:09:30] “Essentially, Sole Girls is an aided program that focuses on girls' mental and physical wellbeing so they can have some place that's safe to talk about friendships and frenemies and anxiety and everything that comes up” — @evaruns [0:05:54] “Body image plays a huge role and it can be anything. It could be a nose or an arm or an eyebrow or something we just dial into and that becomes the most important thing that we need to fix or change or have different, which is challenging!” — @evaruns [0:09:55] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Ashley Wiles on Instagram Ashley Wiles on Twitter Sole Girls Sole Girls on Twitter Sole Girls on Facebook Sole Girls on YouTube ________________________________________________________ After years of bringing MOMS together by hosting evening get-togethers over glasses of wine, no kids or partners and a whole lot of common complaints, Brittany decided it was time to bring her female driven topics and #momdiscoveries to the podcasting platform.

A 2x Ironman finisher, Ashley Wiles’ struggles with mental health and body image over the years inspired her to launch Sole Girls, an innovative empowerment program that shares, with girls aged 5 to 12, the tools they need for a confident, happy and healthy life. And she joins me on Sparta Chicks Radio this week. In this conversation, we dive into Ashley’s story including: - the ‘kilometre club’ at her elementary / primary school that laid the foundation for her love of being running, - how she manages her mental state if she can’t run due to injury, - how she discovered triathlons (and more recently, boxing and parkour), and - why she says running saved her life. Plus we dive into broader issues, including: - the importance of role models, - the impact a lack of role models has on the number of girls who drop out of sport, - the role of sports as “playtime” for kids and adults alike, - why running (and the body awareness it creates) is fantastic for dealing with anxiety or an overactive brain (how do you get out of your head?), and - why her focus is now on finding her ‘happy pace’.

The rates of mental health issues in children are growing, especially since the invention of social media. While adults mainly worry about finances, children care about inclusion and friendship. As an adult, we have a duty to be a mentor for young children and help them through those early stages of life. The positive impacts having a mentor as a child has later in life are significant. Ashley Wiles, founder and Head Coach at Sole Girls discusses this and so much more about a very important topic on this episode. Enjoy this episode of Health Simple Radio.

What we cover: “What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” -- Napolean Hill This is a conversation about running. But not in the way we typically equate talks about running. It’s not about encouraging you to get your fastest time. It’s not about encouraging you to increase your distances. It’s not about heart rate monitors and compression socks and nutrition. Instead, this is a talk about how we can redefine what running means to us. As Ashley Wiles, today’s Guest Titan says: "Running is the most easily accessible, under utilized, readily available tool to help us build positive mental health." And yet, too many of us, continue to equate running with slogging it out and suffering through it – and not as a means simply to release endorphins and create community and foster self-love. Ashley is the founder of Sole Girls, a mentoring program for young girls, which pops them in an environment that fosters conversations about friendship, body image, and self-esteem, and ultimately sees them train to run a 5km event together. In 2016, Brooks Running named her Inspiring Coach of the Year, and in doing so, she became the first Canadian and the first non-high school coach to be awarded this coveted recognition. And, while today, Ashley is this poised, forward-thinking, optimistic leader who is using her lifelong relationship with running to inspire a whole new generation of runners, she wasn’t always this way. In her early 20s, she suffered a debilitating depression as the result of an unhealthy relationship and she found herself drawn to the story of Amanda Todd, the Vancouver-area girl who was harassed so severely, she took her own life. Ashley knew things for her could go one of two ways – one being a finish that resembled Amanda’s story. Or the other, to take a look at what she truly loved most in life – running – and find a way to create a dialogue around what it’s like out there for people who are hurting. The result was the 2013 launch of Sole Girls, an organization that today has positively impacted thousands of girls via its innovative programs and super popular Sole Awesome 5km fun runs. The stats are crazy, but here they are: In grade 6, only 36% of girls say they are confident. Worse though is that by grade 10, on 14% of girls say they are. That means, 86% of girls are suffering from a lack of confidence. Ashley is on a mission to change all that. Because the reality is, most of us have determined who we are by the time we are teenagers, and if we’re going through a rough patch in our younger years, we take those negative belief systems with us into adulthood. In this conversation, I admit that I struggle with that myself at times – dragging a bad phase from my teen years with me even now, 30 years later. Running is a form of relief and release. And an invitation to reexamine and redefine and realign. Thank you for this conversation, Ashley. MJDionne.com
Are you living somebody else’s story? Or are you writing your own? Recently, we offered Ashley Wiles of Sole Girls a float, and a chance to share her wisdom with Mike on our regular #VancouverSurvivalGuide podcast.
What’s the appropriate age to start empowering women? Is it when they start their first “real” job? After they graduate high school or college, perhaps? The best time to inspire young women actually starts much earlier. As you’ll hear today, before we can lift up grown women, we must first learn to lift up little girls. Ashley Wiles has devoted her entire career to empowering young women. As a health and wellness coach, Ashley realized women still face the same negative ideas and biases about our bodies that first begin during childhood. This led her to found Sole Girls, a business that helps young girls form strong, confident opinions about themselves by encouraging physical activity and open conversation. Follow along as Ashley shares her journey to entrepreneurship, how to create a safe space for girls, and the power of asking yourself, “Are you tapping into your inner Sole Girl?” In This Episode How to create a safe space for young girls, plus why it’s necessary to do so The issues young girls struggle with the most How empowering kids ultimately empowers adults, too The hurdles entrepreneurs face when they launch a business The ways past jobs can prepare entrepreneurs for running their own business Quotes in This Episode “I really wish girls knew how awesome they were—and all the awesomeness they could be.” —Ashley Wiles “Parents really have to be involved in what their daughter is thinking or what she’s interested in... but also be a little bit open-minded about what could possibly help her build a stronger foundation.” —Ashley Wiles “Often the conversations we have with girls are so candid, they bring up our own issues.” —Ashley Wiles That’s the journey of life, right? Finding your happy pace.” —Ashley Wiles “Get back to what really makes you happy, and start there.” —Ashley Wiles Resources Sole Girls Sole Girls on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter Ashley Wiles on Instagram and Twitter

Founder of SoleGirls, Ashley Wiles shares how she and her team are empowering girls aged 8 through 12 (tweens) with tools to develop healthy ideas about body image, media, healthy living, peers, and more. After being bullied and experiencing anxiety and depression, Ashley found herself struggling with her own body image and confidence like never before. She then came across an online video that went viral in 2012. It was by Amanda Todd, a 15 year old girl who was bullied and had severe anxiety and depression - to the extent that she committed suicide. Ashley recognized that she needed to do something so that she didn't end up following that same path as Amanda. Incorporating her love of running and helping others, she launched Sole Girls and since then has empowered over 1000 girls in the past 4 years to make values-based decisions, learn to love physical activity and love living life. In today's interview with us, Ashley shares how their program works, the impact it's making, and how they are creating a safe place for girls to connect and have fun.
