#FierceFemaleFriday - Ashlee N. Long
I received some incredible feedback related to the Women's History month features, so I decided to continue to highlight amazing women via a weekly spotlight called #FierceFemaleFriday...
This week I am super excited to spotlight Ms. Ashlee N. Long. Ashlee exudes such positive energy. From the moment that you meet her you will be drawn to her charming personality.
Ashlee has several business ventures that she juggles with poise and precision, but today I'd like to share her latest endeavor: The Yoni Place.
Read below for more...
Ashlee Long is the Ultimate Southern Belle. Hailing from the
small town of Vivian, LA she is working tirelessly to leave her mark in Dallas,TX.
Her humble small town upbringing has given her a firm foundation of compassion,
grace, determination, and quick whit. She is a graduate of Grambling State
University, receiving a Bachelors of Science in Therapeutic Recreation and a
Masters of Public Administration.
Ashlee Long likes to be referred to as a passionpreneur. She
has dedicated her work to educating women on alternative heath choices. Ashlee suffered for years from fibroid pain and heavy
menstrual periods. The only options she
was given by doctors were artificial hormones or surgery. She took it upon herself to research alternatives. Ashlee discovered the practice of Yoni
Steaming and the use of yoni eggs. These
were natural remedies that had been used by our ancestors. She had great success using these remedies,
and decided to share it with the masses. Thus The Yoni Place was born.
Through The Yoni Place, Ashlee provides natural feminine
hygiene products, provides feminine health and wellness seminars, sexuality
classes, and will be adding a TV show soon to address feminine health and
wellness issues. She feels that is her duty to have open dialogue with women
about some of the issues that we suffer through in silence.
Ashlee has also been very open about her struggles with
depression and anxiety. Through her health and wellness seminars, she hopes to
encourage women to take care of themselves Mind, Body, and Soul. You can follow

What’s it like being a female boss?
I don’t look at myself as a boss anymore. I look at myself as finally walking in my
purpose. If that makes me a boss then
I’ll own it. I’m extremely passionate
about helping others in any way that I can. Being a passionpreneur is a double
edge sword at times. You find yourself
always wanting to help others, but the reality is you still have to provide for
yourself. I have finally gotten to a
point where I have a healthy balance of both. Being a woman in business does
get tough at times. You have to learn
how to be soft and hard at the same time.
I would like to think my upbringing has helped me tremendously. I mean
growing up in the country made you tough as nails, but also taught you which
fork to use first at dinner. I love owning a business and wouldn’t trade it for
the world.
Tips for young girls:
- Be the best you that you can be.
- Don’t be afraid to try. The worst thing that can happen is you fail. Then you try again.
- Read as much as you can.
- Travel the world.
- Never make excuses for your choices.
- Learn when to say Please, Thank You, Yes, and no.
- Push someone forward and pull someone behind you
- Get a hobby that you can do alone.
- Give back to your community.
- Never wear white clothing after Labor Day and before Easter. White shoes are a sin.
