A typical day in my life includes…
everyday is different, however it does start with getting the boys and myself ready to rock the day. I am not a 9-5 gal, I am constantly working day in and day out to accomplish my goals while still focusing on my work life balance.
I was born…

My favorite thing about Arizona…
Arizona is my home! I love the people I surround myself with here. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.
I’m listening to…
music feeds my soul, I listen to a wide range of artists on any given day. I love discovering new artists like Nahko or Satsang as well as jamming out to CCR and dancing in the living room to Van Morrison. We are a music family
My family…
is beautiful and our story in unique.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Christie Blinkley, she is beautiful, intelligent, entrepreneur, over all inspiration.
One thing I cannot live without…
lip gloss.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
famous…but not too famous because I was an introvert. I wanted to be “just a little famous”. I also wanted to open my own salon, start a makeup line and model. Which I am proud to say I am currently do all 3 of those amazing things.
I’m inspired by…
I am truly inspired by all the amazing strong women I surround myself by. I love watching other mompreneurs succeed, they motivate me to be a better version of myself. This life is an incredible journey and each person I meet adds a dash of inspiration.
The one person who motivates me is…
Chris. He makes me want to be a better Mom, partner, friend, business owner. He’s able to put me back on track when I seem to be veering in the wrong direction. Chris keeps me balanced.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
our foster care system here in Arizona.
The perfect day would be…
in a beach town, going out shopping with my boys, lunch date, riding bikes on the boardwalk, building sand castles. We love the beach, food and shopping!
My first job was…
I started Oct 5th the day after my 14th birthday at a little local pizza parlor on 56th and Bell road. It is still there to this day.
My favorite escape…
listening to music while driving, or a really amazing book.
My life…
has been quite the journey. I have experienced so much heartache and disappointment. There were moments I thought this can’t be real life. I fought and persevered through it all. I became a mother at 23, I adopted my oldest Kameron by the time I was 25. I’ve had a series of failed relationships, failed businesses. Moments of wanting to throw my hands in the air and give up. Then there was that moment that I realized I could take all my negative energy and turn it into a guiding light not just for myself but for all that surround me. I want to inspire, educate and empower my children, my friends, family, piers, even complete strangers. I want to leave a legacy for my boys!
I’m currently working on…
I am so excited to share I am working on launching my own makeup line called “Ashlee Miller”. It has been a dream come true.
Always…
tell the people you love, how much they mean to you. If you are thinking of someone let them know.
Never…
use the word hate.
Favorite Quote…
“Behind every successful woman is a tribe of other successful women.”
Biggest Dream…
to have my makeup line is stores all over the United States. I want to be a household name! I want to be an inspiration to all.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
when people chew with their mouth open. It literally makes my blood boil.
