WELCOME!
What is Pushed & Polished?
Pushed & Polished is a strategic marketing development firm that teaches clients how to make marketing simple and plan like a pro. I work with aspiring and existing entrepreneurs to help them clarify their vision, execute with proficiency and create results that lead to higher profits.
My mission is to help purpose-driven women use the power of belief to illuminate their impact and monetize their gifts. I believe when clarity meets strategy, we are able to show up confidently and authentically design our definition of wealth and success. The goal is fulfillment and freedom for me.
On my healing journey and defining my version of success, I’ve started and stopped. Learned, unlearned and relearned to position myself to confidently communicate my vision and consistently show up to create the life I daydreamed about.
How did I get started? I made a decision and a plan to get unstuck and stop overthinking to building momentum and thriving.
Who am I?
I’m a Marketing and Life Strategist, Advocate against domestic violence and beach lover. With nearly 10 years experience across agency and corporate marketing teams, I’ve been an orchestrator and driver of global, multi-channel marketing campaigns. I’m a pro at navigating challenging business opportunities and uniting teams to create profitable results.
I had the pleasure of living and working across the pond in London for two years while earning my MSc. in International Business Management and Marketing from Kingston University London. I’m also a Blue Hen! I have a BSc. in Health and Behavioral Science from the University of Delaware.
Why now?
I grew tired of playing small, self-sabotaging, sleeping on million dollar ideas, and riding the wave of an organization that’s constantly in a state of influx, feeling like the blind leading the blind.
I’m ready to live out my full potential. Are you? And when you know, you know! Eric Thomas says, “you’re already in pain, you might as well get a reward from it!”
After experiencing and overcoming sudden grief and loss, I knew I can bounce back from just about any situation life threw at me. Don’t get it twisted, it ain’t easy. Yet, I believe that with 100% confidence that it’s possible to design my definition of wealth and success. It’s taken many tears, falling flat on my face, surrendering to God over and over again and exercising humility to say that and believe it.
I owe it to all the people, near and far, that have supported me, to my Mom, God and most importantly to myself. In the words of Auntie Maxine Waters, I’m reclaiming my time! My energy and all my remaining f*cks to give for things that set my soul on fire. I invite you to take this journey with me. I know it will far exceed what we can conceive or imagine.
What can you expect?
I share content to teach you how to clarify your life and business vision, how strategic marketing can help you achieve that vision, and how to create results that lead to higher profits. Also, I share resources related to domestic violence, mental health, and advocacy.
Ultimately, I’m here to help women make marketing simple, plan like a pro and fall in love with who they become in the process.
Courageously Committed,
Ashley Etienne
Yesss! I’m so glad you’re here! Welcome to Pushed & Polished.
This has been a long time coming. Like 5 years to be exact. I had no idea that when I woke up on February 18, 2016, my life would change so drastically.
After losing my Mom to a domestic violence crime, God placed Pushed & Polished on my heart. It’s been a journey living through the impact of domestic violence yet, and I’m grateful I was obedient.
