We recently connected with Ashley Aleman and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Ashley, thank you so much for opening up with us about some important, but sometimes personal topics. One that really matters to us is overcoming Imposter Syndrome because we’ve seen how so many people are held back in life because of this and so we’d really appreciate hearing about how you overcame Imposter Syndrome.
How I over come imposer syndrome is I really just sit with my self and try to figure out why am I doubting my ability if I came so far already. I really try not to be a perfectionist on things because it can hold you back from putting out a great idea. I like to read the Bible , it gives me comfort and reassurance God is right with me. Even I meditate as well so I can feel relaxed.I will also have a nice day out like go out to eat , go to the beach and drive around to feel inspiration from around me. I still struggle with imposter syndrome till this day I do these things to make it better.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
My brand is special because I make my lipgloss at home ! My glosses are vegan and cruelty free !! That’s what makes my lipglosses unique. They are silky smooth , hydrating for your lips and keep’s moisture locked in so your lips won’t be dry after application. Our lipgloss are the best out in the Los Angeles area because they are hand made with love also hydrating for your lips!! More lipgloss shades will drop soon ! We are still expanding our brand and coming up with new ideas.Stay tuned for new products and also giveaways !!
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Having faith and praying to God really has been impactful in my journey because every time I feel like giving up on my brand or anything he is always there to make me feel better. Having endurance really helped me as well because you will have slow days but don’t let that get to you. Let it inspire you to work smarter and harder. Being consistent as well will definitely help get you where you need to be and where you want to be. Networking and building relationships with the right people will open doors , also open opportunities for your self as well. Always go out to networking events to meet people you may never know which opportunities will present themselves for you. Be a compassionate person with a pure heart at the end of the day. You can always develop these qualities by working on them and being consistent towards them each day of your life. Be gentle with yourself and don’t be hard on your self !!
Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?
When I feel overwhelmed I always like to take a break , breathe , pray and meditate. It calms my body and soul down. Sometimes you will feel overwhelmed because you may be being hard on your self or get overwhelmed with daily life tasks , and work as well. Take it one day at a time. Go for a walk , watch your favorite movie , go to eat at your favorite restaurant , talk/ spend time with your loved ones. I promise you these things will help you with being overwhelmed. It has helped me.
