Hi, I'm Ashley—Founder of Karma Kups

To understand how Karma Kups came to life, you’d have to know the journey that shaped it.

Have you ever felt like you had to earn your worth—like no matter what you achieved, it was never quite enough? Or like no matter how much you transformed yourself, you still never truly belonged? I know that feeling well. For years, I chased belonging, trying to shape myself into what others might accept. And even when I worked harder, gave more, and proved myself again and again, there was still an emptiness inside.

What changed everything wasn’t another achievement—it was the realization that I wasn’t here to fit in. I was here to be me - uniquely, imperfectly, and powerfully me. That shift freed me to see my own value. In that transformation, I recognized that it’s the journey that defines us. It’s not about perfection or achievements; it’s about the intentions we set, the actions we take, and the courage to get back up again and again.

 


 

How the Cups Came to Life

For me, identity, growth, and purpose came from turning inward—in dedicated meditation, whispered prayer, and quiet walks. In that inward stillness, affirmations emerged as a partner to turn my reflections into words. These different tools wove together a path of healing and empowerment that carried me forward on my journey. 

Each affirmation reminded me of where I wanted to go and who I was becoming. And I didn’t just want those words hidden on a sheet of paper in a drawer—I wanted them right there with me when I woke up, at work, while cooking dinner, and when I was brushing my teeth. That’s where Karma Kups was born. 

Each cup carries a simple but powerful truth—an affirmation you choose to guide how you show up in the world. A support on the road to becoming the person you’re meant to be, the hero within.

 

Truths to Carry With You

Your value is already within you. You don’t need to earn it; you need to acknowledge it, believe it, and live it.

When you show up as yourself, not as who you think others want you to be, you will show up authentically and walk with purpose.

Belonging comes from knowing your value, not through external acknowledgements, but through slowing down, turning inward and uncovering your sacred truths within. 

To take the reins on your journey, set an intent and power it with an affirmation —Karma Kups is here to carry that vision with you, keeping your momentum alive in every sip, every step, every moment. 

 


 

The Power of Ritual

Nothing about my healing journey happened overnight. It happened through quiet, intentional moments that mattered:

  • Sitting in stillness with a hot drink and a fresh thought
  • Journaling through confusion until clarity appeared
  • Walking in nature to remember we are never alone
  • Whispering prayers when seeking the answers
  • Reading spiritual books that helped evolve awareness 

These rituals changed me. 

They found me in my heaviness, met me with grace, and gently guided me back home to who I truly am. They helped me shift from fear to flow.  From burnout to purpose. From pleasing to power.

“I am strong. I can do hard things.”


That became a truth I learned to live. Not just on easy days—but in the middle of storms, too. And when the chaos settled…

“Mayhem is in the past. In the calm I find focus. I am ready and able for what the future brings.”

That became my anchor. A reminder that I’m not here to stay stuck in survival—I’m here to rise. 

 


 

What I Hope Karma Kups Brings You

Karma Kups is not just about what you drink from— It’s about what you’re pouring into yourself.

My hope is that each cup becomes a reminder:

  • That your thoughts have power.
  • That you are more in control of your life than you may realize.
  • That small, sacred moments can change everything.
  • That the version of you you're becoming is already within you.

May these words and rituals bring you clarity, self-love, centeredness, peace, power, and ultimately—joy.
May they help you shed what isn’t you, so your true self can rise.
May they help you feel your own worth.
And may they remind you that your dreams are not out of reach—
They are already unfolding.

Because they did for me. And I believe they will for you, too.

Thank you for being here.
Let’s rise, together.

— Ashley
