We recently had the chance to connect with Ashely LeSha and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Ashely, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: Who are you learning from right now?
I’am learning the most in my relationship with God right now. I’ am actively doing bible study lately, praying throughout my day (more), and journaling to him. I have noticed a big difference in my everyday life, business/career, and more. My advice would be for everyone to develop a close relationship with God, because through him ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello, My name is Ashely. I’ am the owner and creator of The Mocha Body Bar.
The Mocha Body Bar has been in business for 4 years, coming up on our 5th year anniversary August 24th, 2025! The Mocha Body Bar isn’t just selling a product, we are offering an all natural lifestyle of self care, affordability, and clean wellness.
We prioritize clean, simple ingredients that our customers can TRUST.
Unlike some mainstream brands, we focus on a nourishing, budget friendly experience. Beyond the butters themselves, The Mocha Body Bar is rooted in community and care. We bring quality, and everyday indulgence into the beauty world turning simple skincare into a ritual of deep self-love.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who taught you the most about work?
My mother taught me the most about work, and giving my all to a task until it’s completed. My mother instilling that in me, has helped me overcome so many things that have come my way in life, career, and business. Her teachings taught me the importance of resilience, dedication, and integrity. Watching her balance responsibilities while staying committed to her goals taught me that hard work isn’t just about effort, but consistency, perseverance, and pride.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering in business taught me lessons success never could. It showed me patience, resilience, and creativity under pressure. Success is very rewarding, however it doesn’t force you to grow in a certain way when setbacks occur. Struggling has also taught me how to adapt quickly with change, stay consistent when things are uncertain, and the power of PRAYER.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, the public version is the real me. I want my customers, and community to see my real authentic self because my brand is built on pure honesty, care, and connection. The Mocha Body Bar isn’t a performance, it’s truly who I stand to be. By being real, I build trust, and show that my products come from a genuine place created with love.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Yes, I can still ( and always) give my best even if nobody ever praised me for it. My motivation comes from within, and from the purpose of my work. Praise would be nice, but it isn’t what drives me daily for my brand TMBB. I know the value of what I’m building, so I’m committed to showing up, creating with integrity, and staying consistent. The results of the impact, will always matter more to me than the recognition.
