Calm Simple Free
Calm Simple Free is a podcast for anyone seeking a more intentional rhythm to their days. It’s a space to pause for calm, reflect on life’s simple pleasures and speak freely from the heart. Hosted by Ashley Foxx, what began as "clean simple free" has evolved into something more: it's a show to explore emotional healing, seasonal pleasures, romanticizing your life, and finding charm in the simple things, even in the midst of grief or burnout. Episodes offer reflections on reclaiming your energy, aesthetic deep dives, guided meditations, and making space for the things that truly make us happy.

In this first episode under the new name Calm Simple Free, Ashley returns after a long hiatus to share what’s changed, both personally and within the podcast. She shares how she’s decluttered less visible things like habits, expectations, and relationships, all while embracing aesthetic living and decorating with intention.This reentry episode explores what it means to live in the present, explore emotional healing, and delight in comforting surroundings. Ashley also reflects on how to slow down and savor the holiday season when the days are flying by, sharing her favorite festive rituals and encouraging listeners to share theirs, too.email: [email protected]: Asagao by Asuka Ito
