A note from Ashlee

Kara - business owner

Over the years—whether in wedding planning, business building, or life coaching—I’ve been blessed to walk beside some of the most creative, courageous, and soul-full women. Here’s what they’ve shared about our journey together.

Kara - business owner

One of the reasons Kalifornia Cuisine was born is because of this powerful lady's soul. I wasn't sure, and she walked me though the questions marks. I'm about to celebrate this trucks 3rd birthday. Just a few days ago, this woman held my hand and said something I wasn't ready to hear and digest and because of that, there's another new transformation that she started. It doesn't feel like coaching, it feels like I'm truly being listened to, loved, led, and inspired. You've changed my life, and are inspiring others too.

The Wedding Planning 101 class was fabulous! Ashlee has a vault of knowledge + she is incredibly passionate about the industry. The class covered a lot of information that was delivered in concise chunks that are easy to absorb + the structure was clear, logical, + effective. Just like wedding planning should be. Ashlee’s passion truly connected + inspired me + I can’t speak highly enough of this course.

I first met Ashlee through a styled shoot I was asked to participate in several years ago. At that point my wedding design buiness was in its infancy + I was still figuring out the exact direction I wanted to take. Ashlee + I became fast friends, as I imagine happens with most she encounters. After that first shoot Ashlee, also became a huge mentor for me, always available to provide insight + advice specific to the industry. She provided invaluable assistance when I was developing my client contracts + figuring out the processes to help my business run smoothly. She is always there with love + support but also solid, experience based feedback. She has referred several brides my way + we have since collaborated on additional shoots. Ashlee is a wedding guru as well as a valued confidante + friend.

As a future DIY bride, + someone who wanted to go into event planning, Ashlee was the one person I stalked. She was a walking Pinterest board combined with a fairy godmother. When I heard that she was offering a Wedding Planning 101 Class, I jumped at the opportunity. Cherry on top was that I got engaged after signing up for the course, so it ended up working out perfect. Her class was fun, interesting, + informative. I left excited and inspired to get started. Her knowledge helped me through wedding planning, as well as giving me a direction with event planning. Ashlee is the best in the biz, + her intel is priceless!

About 2 years ago my husband asked if I would run the family events. When I first started, I had no knowledge of the wedding industry. I researched + found Ashlee. Ashlee is hands down the best decision I could have made!!! From our first meeting to the last, Ashlee showed up, she was all in it with me. She was so knowledgeable about the industry, supportive, encouraging + always willing to go the extra mile. She has truly helped me so much with coaching + guiding me with marketing, pricing, social media + so much more that goes into owning a wedding/events business. On top of being the best in the business, she is the sweetest person you will ever meet. You cannot go wrong with choosing her as your coach! Plus you will have a friend in the industry for life!!

About me

Hello! I'm Ashlee!

A soul-led coach, lifelong dreamer, and lover of love—here to help women come home to themselves.

I’ve always believed in love.

Love that fills a room.

Love that turns ordinary days into celebrations.

Love that inspires us to build, create, and believe in something bigger.

For 12 years, I helped couples and families plan unforgettable wedding days through my first company, Signed Sealed Delivered Events—a glittery, heart-shaped-sunglasses-filled adventure that brought me deep joy, lifelong friendships, and a big, beautiful career in the event industry.

SSD’s Addicted to Love brand became a recognizable staple in the St. Louis wedding scene. Over the years, our hopelessly devoted team earned multiple awards—Rookie of the Year, Mentor of the Year, and Wedding Planner of the Year seven times over—and we were honored to be featured in outlets like The Knot, Love Inc., and St. Louis Bride.

Planning weddings was my first calling. It felt like home.

In 2022, I found a second home at Dream by Design—a creative collective born from the merger of SSD Events, An Affair to Remember, and Styled and Staged STL. For 2.5 beautiful years, I served as Director of Sales, working alongside an incredible team (including my brilliant bestie Jody Cox). That chapter gave me the space I didn’t know I needed—to step back from planning, soften my grip, and eventually let go with love.

I’ll always be grateful for that season of collaboration, creativity, and big dreaming—especially alongside spaces like The Dreamer’s Loft and Sognare, where the magic continues to bloom.

✨ And then? Something new began to bloom in me. ✨

After years of soul-coaching my clients behind the scenes—through fear, celebration, grief, and growth—I realized I was being called to something deeper. That calling led me to the yoga mat, where I felt both pulled and petrified. It led me to somatic healing, energy work, nervous system regulation, and inner child restoration. Every modality cracked me open in a new way.

I didn’t always feel confident. I didn’t always know where it was leading.

But I trusted. I listened. I kept taking one loving step at a time.

And eventually, I found a new kind of home—not in a venue or a vision board, but in my body. In my breath. In myself.

This chapter is about guiding other women home, too.

I officially founded Love Lead Inspire in 2020, originally as a space to mentor wedding professionals and host creative education courses. Over the years, it naturally evolved into a coaching practice rooted in healing, feminine energy, and the deep inner work I was experiencing myself.

Through my coaching brand Love Lead Inspire and my signature offering BYOB: Be Your Own Bestie™, I support women (especially recovering perfectionists, people-pleasers, and burnt-out business babes) who are ready to return to their radiance and remember their worth.

This work runs deep in my lineage. My mom was a life coach, and from a young age, she instilled in me the sacredness of service, presence, and self-inquiry. I believe being in service—whether to yourself or others—is how we raise the vibration. And when we raise the vibration, we create a ripple effect of love that always finds its way back.

I live in Belleville, IL with my soulmate Jason and our miracle boy Gunnar. I believe in starting the day with a cup of ambition (or two), ending it with snuggles, and finding magic in the middle—whether I’m baking heart-shaped cookies, growing something in our garden, or hiking through the woods to a Tina Turner power anthem.

If you’re feeling the call, I’d love to support your next chapter.

Let’s start with a Heart to Heart. 💗
