Behind The Filter: After Dark Edition
Episode 21 is Here!
Well, we are authentic as you can get ha! As sticking to the lovely "Behind The Filter" theme of no re-dos and edits, we had a flub of ours and decided to share. We are learning and growing at the same time and let me just tell you being a business owner, creator, producer, spot copy writer and video director is hard to do all at once lol! So you'll see/hear a funny mishap in the middle of this episode. :)
Now- let's get into the fun of it! We chatted with Ashley more about her fashion brand, upcoming Spring trends, must-have looks and advice she can give those who are looking for some direction when it comes to styling...ehem...ME specifically haha. Check out the episode below plus I've listed all the ways you can connect with Ashley along with a boutique favorite of hers THE DUTCH SHOP.
What started out as just two friends working out along the beautiful canal in Indianapolis has turned into a lively community project. This little duo gradually attracted a bunch of people who all wanted to stay active in fun and creative ways. As this group grew, the founders of what’s now called the Indy Canal Squad saw a chance to do more than just fitness sessions. They created a nonprofit called Through You, aiming to build community and promote a well-rounded approach to health beyond your typical workout group.
Through You is all about spreading the word in the local community about how important it is to focus on preventative health. They do this by teaming up with different organizations and stakeholders to create a supportive network. The group uses easy-to-access platforms to reach more people, making sure everyone can join in and benefit. They want people to rethink health and fitness, emphasizing that wellness is not just about exercise but also includes mental health and nutrition education. By offering educational initiatives, workshops, and interactive sessions, Through You aims to give people the knowledge and tools they need to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
If you’re interested in being a part of this awesome movement, Through You offers free workout sessions every Tuesday at 6:30 PM at the friendly Christalmore House. As the weather warms up, the group will move to the scenic Canal, adding a new level of fun and connection with outdoor activities. This not only brings more variety to the workouts but also boosts the community vibe as everyone enjoys the beautiful natural setting. To keep up with their activities, like monthly events, community gatherings, and scholarship opportunities for college students, you can follow them on social media or check out their website at through-you.com. It’s a great chance to join a supportive network that promotes health, wellness, and community involvement.
