In this heartfelt episode of Meet Bridget, Asha sits down with Aubrey Marie Wilcher, a yoga, breathwork, and handstand teacher, artist, model, and American Ninja Warrior alumna, to explore her journey from a small-town New Mexico upbringing to building a life rooted in creativity, play, and motherhood in California.

Aubrey shares what it was like growing up with a mother with cerebral palsy, stepping into caregiving as a child, and navigating the stark contrasts between scarcity and abundance. She reflects on how her early years of responsibility shaped her grounded approach to life and why she's committed to weaving play, art, and presence into everything she does.

We talk about:
✨ Her move to San Diego and unexpected path into photography, videography, and Instagram growth
✨ The power of following intuition and creativity over strategy
✨ How teaching handstands becomes a vehicle for helping others reclaim play and confidence
✨ The lessons she's learned through American Ninja Warrior, motherhood, and single parenting
✨ Redefining success, building community, and embracing the present moment without fear
✨ Why living barefoot and staying connected to childlike curiosity has become her superpower

Aubrey's story is a reminder that growth often looks different than we expect, and confidence is built by showing up with self-trust and love, even when the path is unconventional.

Tune in if you're craving a conversation that feels like a deep breath, a reminder to stay present, and permission to infuse more play into your adult life.
