Ashley Sumner: Transforming the Coaching Space & Creating a Business with Purpose

On today’s episode we are joined with Ashley Sumner, a Connection Specialist, and the creator of Liminal, the niche coaching marketplace for daily, bite-size guidance. Born with a driving purpose to inspire transformation in others, she’s dedicated 15 years to forging connections as a performer, founder, community builder, experience designer, and romantic matchmaker. Her previous stints include NeueHouse, Wanderlust, Primary Stages and Breakout. Wanting to drive greater impact and build more accessible communities, Ashley launched Quilt in 2017, a social marketplace that took root by empowering thousands of homeowners across the United States to host supportive community conversations in their homes. In 2020, Quilt quickly evolved into a mental health focused social audio app that helped over one-hundred thousand people get through the pandemic.

 

Ashley is a lifelong seeker dedicated to the practice of self-exploration with the help of wellness practitioners, coaches and therapists from all corners of the world. Her latest venture connects her professional expertise in matchmaking with her passion for personal growth through connection. Launched in 2023, Liminal is turning the inaccessible and expensive coaching model into an easy, interactive and affordable format, focused on niche coaching categories like style, accountability, spirituality, dating, budgeting, and more. Because every day is easier with a coach by your side. These days you can find her working by a pool in Miami, like every other New Yorker. When she’s not working, she’s dancing.

 

In this discussion, Ashley dives into all things community, connections and coffee chats and how that has led her to where she is today. If you’re ready for a conversation that breaks down barriers and will help you no matter what stage of business you’re in..grab your coffee and headphones and let’s dive in!
