“To truly know
and be myself,
to stand
on my own
beliefs and live
authentically…
is the greatest
gift I’ve ever
received.”
As a wife and mother, Chesny is a living
testimony that you really can have it
all. “I don’t think conversations around
purpose exists as they need to and
we deserve to know that we can have
purpose. It is possible for us. I know
because I live it daily.” The author has
big plans on the horizon and not just
with Genius Patch.
“I am trying to instill in children what
we spend so much time “unlearning”
and discovering as adults. I am super
excited to develop my voice as Ashlee
Chesny and pull back the curtain on my
life so other women get a realistic view
of purpose. Of course, I’m working on a
book around the idea, which will be my
first non-children's book to be published.
I’ve got some epic things planned for the
launch and woman-based events that
will be a lot of fun. Stay tuned to what’s
coming from Ashlee Chesny by visiting
her website ashleechesny.com and
following her on

occurs outside of the classroom
through summer camps, after school
programs, workshops author visits
and more. Genius Patch is not without
its challenges but Chesny faces them
head on and remains hopeful. “I have
a hypothesis, I test it and based on the
results, I make a change or continue with
the current process. I’m learning to be
more mindful and explorative of what
didn’t work and why not. Often times, I
find that it’s a matter of timing or simply
tweaking a small component.” Since its
inception in November 2017, Genius
Patch has received two grants, donations
and its first award for programming
through Corp! Magazine and Chesny is
just getting started.
