Hi, I’m Ashley Bowman

– a wife, mom, and certified coach with a heart for helping women live and lead well – in every season of life.

Like many women, I’ve experienced seasons where life felt overwhelming and on the edge of burnout. Through those experiences – and walking alongside other women in coaching and conversations – I created Rooted for Legacy: a space to encourage women to live and lead well through intentional, often unseen choices that shape what lasts.

Whether you’re in leadership, a mom in the thick of it, a ministry leader, a student, or a couple preparing for marriage — you’ll find stories, tools, biblical perspective, encouragement, and practical next steps here.

I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and certifications in Life, Mental Health, and Premarital Coaching. Over the past 20+ years I’ve worked across nonprofit, clinical, school, and church settings walking alongside individuals, couples and families through both growth and difficult seasons.

My experience includes leading parenting intensives for families in crisis, teaching conflict resolution in public schools, and serving women’s, premarital and marriage ministry through speaking, coaching, and facilitation.

I’m also a certified SYMBIS facilitator, a Dave Ramsey financial facilitator, a Focus on the Family “Journey to Us” speaker, and endorsed by the American Association of Christian Counselors.

More than anything, my heart is to help women live well in real life: in their relationships, families, leadership, and faith.

I live just outside St. Louis with my husband Jason (we’ve been married for 22 years!) and our two teenagers. Together, we’re passionate about helping others thrive in their life and leadership.

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. I hope this space encourages you to take your next intentional step.
