Ashley B Shepherd

multi-passionate free spirit, wife, boy mom, and creator

My beautiful life consists of raising my boys, writing, speaking, and serving in my Church. I love jumping on my Peloton and escaping life but I also love eating oreos just as much. I am currently navigating grief from the passing of my mother and learning to trust God when life doesn’t make sense.

My heart’s desire is to connect with other women and remind them that they are beautifully designed and God has a purpose for every season of their life, even the painful ones. One way I do that is through our Facebook group called, Beautifully Designed Community. You can click the link below to join today. We have daily prayer threads, Bible studies, and great encouragement. I hope you know how loved you are by the ONE who beautifully designed YOU!

My Books

Since I was a little girl, I’ve always dreamed of writing a book. In 2017, the Lord made that dream a reality when I published my first book. Since writing 3 books, He continues to place specific messages on my heart, and I pray that every word I write is used for His glory.

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:14

  • Raw and courageous approach to helping women is truly a gift!

    I don’t know any woman who can’t relate to Ashley’s story. Her raw and courageous approach to helping women find their value is truly a gift to whoever will pick this up and read it. Our daughters do not have to suffer with this for years. The answer is Jesus and He so beautifully uses Ashley’s testimony to break the bondage of unworthiness.”

  • I’m grateful she chose to be a part of my world so I could be a part of hers.

    I’m grateful she chose to be a part of my world so I could be a part of hers. Well done, Ashley. I’m honored to count you as a friend and sister, and I pray that the Lord continues to multiply your ministry in the days to come. I have no doubt He will.
