HEALING-CENTERED COACHING FOR HIGH ACHIEVERS
You built the résumé. We help you rebuild the woman.
Mind Your Higher Ground™ is a healing-centered, narrative liberation firm for high-achieving Black women leaders done paying for success with their lives. We help you build a liberatory plan that translates freedom into weekly choices and practices, protecting your body, relationships, and joy so you can leave a legacy on your own terms.
Hard Truths
You did everything “right.” Degrees, titles, income, impact. But nobody taught you how to stay whole while becoming the one who makes it.
The cost? A calendar built around ambition instead of what matters, love treated like an afterthought, people getting what’s left of you, and a mind the never turns off.
This is what burnout looks like. It’s the tax of survival-driven ambition in a system that applauds over-delivering and under-living
You must disrupt this now. If not, you don’t just continue the pattern, you become the story your body, your lineage, and your people pay for.
You weren’t meant to thrive only as a résumé.
You were meant to be a whole woman whose leadership, love, and life are aligned.
Something has to change on purpose, not by accident. This is where your life stops being collateral damage and starts becoming yours again.
Your First Step: The Ground
The Ground – Mind Your Higher Ground Community App
The Ground is the hub of Mind Your Higher Ground™, a private app where Black women build freedom practices, not just coping skills. It’s where you start unhooking from survival mode, regulate in real life, and stop abandoning your needs to keep performing “strong.”
Inside The Ground, you get:
- A curated resource library (courses, practices, tools)
- A monthly featured practice (short teaching + reflection + repeatable embodiment)
- A peer-level community for Black women leaders to unmask
- Private drops and live sessions, plus “Girls’ Night In” gatherings that don’t demand your whole calendar

Meet Our Founder
Ashley Norman
LEADING BY HEALING
I’m Ashley Norman, founder of Mind Your Higher Ground™ and a certified professional coach specializing in healing-centered, narrative liberation work for high-achieving Black women leaders. I know what it means to be “the one who makes it” while quietly breaking inside, overworking, overextending, and performing strength at the expense of your body and relationships.
Out of my own unraveling and rebuilding, I created the Higher Ground Method™, a healing-centered approach that helps women stop paying for success with their lives and start leading from a place that protects their capacity. Together, we turn insight into real standards, real boundaries, and a Personal Freedom Plan you can actually live.
In a world that demands so much, we teach you the power of the pause —because your well-being is non-negotiable.
