Meet Ashley Warren of North Decatur

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Warren.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My story started with a broken heart.

After a painful breakup, everything in my life felt exposed. My confidence, my direction, my sense of stability all shifted at once. I was healing emotionally, but I also realized I needed more than healing. I needed power. I needed ownership over my life. I needed to become someone who would never feel financially or emotionally dependent again.

During that time, I gave network marketing a chance. Not because I was chasing money, but because I was searching for purpose. I needed something that required discipline, growth, and belief in myself at a time when I didn’t fully have those things yet. I didn’t fully understand it at the time, but that decision would change everything.

Through that space, I was introduced to financial literacy, credit education, and the realities of how money actually moves in this world. Things most people are never taught growing up. I started repairing my own credit, unlearning bad habits, and realizing how much of my struggle came from simply not knowing. And that’s when it became clear to me, it became bigger than me.

Today, I am a financial consultant in the fintech space, helping individuals and entrepreneurs take control of their credit, access business funding, and position themselves for long-term wealth. But more than anything, I help people shift their mindset. Because when your relationship with money changes, the way you see yourself changes too.

My heartbreak did not just break me. It introduced me to my purpose. And through that, I found the work I was meant to do.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has not been a smooth road. When I first joined in February 2023, I was living in Chicago, where my mentors and my support system were rooted. A month later, life abruptly shifted and I found myself relocating to Atlanta. What I thought would be a fresh start came with an unexpected sense of isolation. Building something new while your foundation is miles away is not easy. The distance, the unfamiliar environment, and the loss of daily proximity to my community made the transition emotionally heavy.

There were moments when the loneliness settled in, when I questioned myself quietly, wondering if I was truly built for this path. I would still show up, still attend the calls, the meetings, the events, but internally, there were days I felt exhausted, disconnected, and almost invisible in the process.

I invested in the conferences. I showed up for the workshops. I did the work that I was taught to do, yet the results didn’t always come when I wanted them to. Recruiting was difficult. Building new relationships in an entirely new city tested my confidence and my patience. That part was painful because I felt like effort wasn’t matching outcome yet.

But every time I reached the edge of doubt, I had to return to my why. Not just the reason I started, but the woman I am becoming through it all. That vision grounded me. That purpose kept me consistent. And that consistency, even through the quiet struggles, is what carried me forward.
It wasn’t easy, but it shaped me.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I work as a financial consultant in the fintech space, where I help individuals and entrepreneurs transform their relationship with money through credit restoration, business funding, and long term financial growth strategies. At the core of my work, it’s not just about numbers. It’s about rewriting financial stories and giving people their power back.

I specialize in working with clients who feel overlooked or misunderstood by the traditional financial system. People who have been told no too many times. What I’m known for is my ability to take something that feels intimidating and make it feel accessible, clear, and empowering without ever making someone feel small for where they are.

What I’m most proud of is the confidence shift I see in my clients. I’ve watched people enter my world feeling defeated and leave with a vision for homeownership, business ownership, and generational wealth. Being part of that transformation is bigger than any title. It’s impact.

What sets me apart is my authenticity. I don’t lead with perfection or polished finance talk. I lead with lived experience, compassion, and strategy. I understand both the emotional and structural side of money, and I bridge that gap for the people who need it most.

In a space that can sometimes feel cold and transactional, I pride myself on bringing warmth, education, and intention because wealth isn’t just built with money, it’s built with mindset

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
What matters most to me is impact. Not just financial success, not just titles or numbers, but real life impact on people who once felt the way I did. Uncertain. Uninformed. Overlooked.

I care deeply about helping people rewrite their relationship with money and with themselves. Because for a long time, I didn’t have anyone explaining these things to me in a way that felt safe or judgment free. I had to learn through mistakes. Through loss. Through experience.

Now, I’m driven by the idea that my story can make someone else’s path feel less lonely. That if I can help even one person feel empowered instead of ashamed when it comes to their finances, then everything I went through had purpose.

What matters most to me is creating a legacy of knowledge, confidence, and financial awareness. Not just for my clients, but for my future family, my community, and anyone who hears my story and realizes that their past doesn’t disqualify them from building something powerful.

That matters because I remember what it felt like to feel small. And I never want anyone else to feel that way about their future again.
