I’m Ashley René—speaker, writer, wife, mother, and truth-teller.
I help people reconnect with what matters most: presence, identity, and each other.
After nearly 15 years in corporate leadership roles, I walked away from the hustle to build something more human. I founded Presence Over Pixels to explore what so many of us are feeling but struggling to name—that tech has changed how we think, relate, and show up in the world. And that we’re longing to come back to ourselves.
But I don’t just talk about digital disconnection. I speak about what’s possible on the other side. How we can connect with ourselves and others in more meaningful ways.
Through keynotes, conversations, and quiet truths, I help people pause, reflect, and reclaim their lives without the noise. I’ve spoken to educators, leaders, creatives, and community builders about how we reconnect—with presence, with purpose, and with each other.
I believe we’re living in a time where courage looks like slowing down.
Where leadership looks like listening.
And where power doesn’t have to be loud—it just has to be true.
So, whether you’re looking for a keynote speaker, a grounded voice in the digital wellness space, or someone who will leave your audience thinking deeply and feeling seen, you’re in the right place.
Welcome.
Let’s build something real.
