On this week's episode of Eating While Broke, Coline welcomes dancer/performer extraordinaire Ashley Everett. They discuss Ashley's journey from childhood ballet classes to being hired by Beyoncé at age 17 and dancing in music videos and going on tour. We learn about the realities of life on the road, including living on small per diems and frequent meals of ramen noodles. Ashley shares inspiring stories of believing in herself, overcoming obstacles, and learning to set boundaries. She also opens up about neglected treatment of dancers in the industry. Now Ashley is pouring her talents into her lifestyle brand "Be Greater Than" which helps people develop self-confidence and self-love. For this episode's dish, Ashley elevates ramen with sautéed chicken, spinach, corn, and a boiled egg. Ashley's motivations, integrity, and optimism are infectious!
