I’m Trying to Manifest Peace, But My Life is a Survival Reality Show

Ashlee Cox • November 1, 2025

Okay, Script-Breakers, pull up a seat.


I was about to leave my room for my ridiculous early country morning walk—zen mode fully engaged—when I looked up and saw it. 


My big, hairy, arch-nemesis spider, chilling on my high ceiling. 


I took a breath... turned back... and it was gone. 


Vanished.


A crisis averted, right? 


WRONG.


This is the chaotic, unhinged reality of a creative entrepreneur's life.


 You're trying to build an empire, but your energy is being drained by absurd, everyday chaos. 


I spent the next hour—and my entire evening—in a state of low-grade panic. 


I was supposed to be writing; instead, I was conducting a highly detailed search party.


In The Ash Files, I share the full, funny, and frightening sequel to this horror movie. 


You’ll hear about the "Evening Insanity" and the bad choices I made while trying to catch this eight-legged speedster. 


This isn't just a funny story; it's a peek at how easily distraction and fear can derail your entire creative workflow.


If your life's B-plot is constantly trying to sabotage your main hustle, join me in The Ash Files.
