About this episode

Ashley Davis discusses her career and insights on politics, her book, and balancing motherhood with work.

Ashley Davis is here! We discuss her career as a political strategist, global keynote speaker, best-selling author, and trusted advisor known for her insights on national security, foreign policy, and U.S. politics. She frequently appears on networks like CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC, and contributes to the Practically Political podcast. We explore the inspiration for her debut book, Power Pivot: With Grit, Grace, and Growth, published in April 2026, including how she chose the title and why it became a bestseller through her “Power Pivot” framework—Intentional Planning, Intentional Purpose, and Intentional Change. Additionally, we touch on her background at Westminster College and Georgetown University, the challenges of motherhood and work-life balance, and her pivotal decision during the September 11 attacks when she chose to stay and support the White House response. We also discuss her love for SoulCycle and what she enjoys doing for fun.
