Calm, Clear, and Crowned: Why Ashwagandha Is a More Than Average Essential

Life gets loud... especially when you're balancing ambition, motherhood, healing, and everything in between. If you’ve ever felt like your mind is running a mile a minute while your body begs for rest, you’re not alone. That’s where ashwagandha comes in.

This ancient herb has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, but today it’s making waves with modern women who want to feel more balanced without checking out. More Than Average women don’t just want to survive, we want to thrive. We want to show up rested, focused, and emotionally grounded. Ashwagandha helps with that.

So what does it actually do?

Ashwagandha is best known for lowering cortisol—the stress hormone that keeps your body in fight-or-flight mode. High cortisol levels can cause fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, and even weight gain. Taking ashwagandha regularly may help reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and boost focus. This is perfect for the woman who wears a lot of crowns.

But is it safe?

In general, yes, but like any supplement, it’s important to check with your doctor first, especially if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication. Look for high-quality, third-party tested brands (gummies, capsules, or powders) and be consistent. Natural things still take time. I typically use store brands just to be budget friendly, but goli brand has some high ratings as well. 

Why it fits our lifestyle

You don’t have to be on a “soft life” journey to care for your nervous system. Whether you're building a business, raising a child, or recovering from burnout, this is about longevity. About feeling like yourself again. Ashwagandha doesn’t change who you are. It just helps you show up more fully as the woman you’ve always been.

Remember: More Than Average isn’t about perfection. It’s about power, peace, and choosing yourself...daily.
