  When Purpose Finds You: From Ambition to Impact with Ashley Ruiz

  Sep 18, 202624 minS2

  Send us Fan Mail Sometimes the dream you start with isn’t the purpose you’re meant to finish with. Dr. Tony Holmes sits down with Ashley Ruiz, founder of Urban Healing HTX, for an inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship, community, legacy, faith, and what happens when your personal ambition transforms into a purpose much bigger than yourself. Ashley’s journey began with a desire for financial freedom. After purchasing an old grocery store on Lyons Avenue in Houston’s historic Fifth Ward, she discovered that the building carried a powerful history connected to former owner Elnora White and a story that deserved to be preserved. What Ashley initially viewed as an investment soon became a responsibility to honor the past while creating something meaningful for the next generation. Through Urban Healing HTX, Ashley now envisions restoring the historic space into a community resource where children and families can access programs centered around creativity, emotional intelligence, self-love, communication, personal development, and healing—all within the neighborhood they call home. Ashley and Dr. Holmes also explore the deeper lessons behind her journey: navigating motherhood while pursuing a dream, learning as you go, preserving history, building community partnerships, and recognizing that ambition, even when attached to something good, must have boundaries. Ashley shares a powerful realization from her journey: what began as a pursuit of financial freedom ultimately taught her about contentment, stewardship, and being a vessel for something greater than herself. This episode is for the entrepreneur, visionary, community leader, dreamer, or anyone who has ever started down one path only to discover that God may have been leading them toward something much bigger. Your dream may open the door, but your purpose may be what walks through it. Follow for more and join the conversation: www.coachedxtony.com Instagram: @dr.tonyxholmes Facebook: CoachedxTony

  Send us Fan Mail What happens when faith meets action? In Episode 9 of the Limitless Podcast, Dr. Tony Holmes sits down with longtime friend and brother Jonathan “J. Cook” Cook for a powerful conversation about leadership, career growth, faith, family, and creating opportunities instead of waiting for them. J. Cook shares his journey from being an ambitious college graduate searching for his next opportunity to building a 15-year career in the media industry and becoming a marketing leader. His story is a reminder that sometimes the opportunity you’ve been praying for requires you to pull up, put yourself in position, and do the work. The conversation goes beyond career success as J. Cook breaks down what it really means to lead: developing people, setting standards, building strong teams, producing results, and understanding that leadership requires more than a title. As he puts it, you have to be the proof, because movement without progress isn’t enough. Dr. Holmes and J. Cook also get personal about marriage, fatherhood, work-life priorities, and learning how to be truly present for the people who matter most. J. Cook shares how his perspective has evolved from constantly chasing the next professional milestone to understanding the importance of putting things in their proper order: faith, family, then the work. This episode is for anyone navigating their next opportunity, stepping into leadership, building a career, or learning how to pursue success without losing sight of what matters most. Pull up. Stay ready. Do the work. Be the proof. And keep faith at the forefront. Follow for more and join the conversation: www.coachedxtony.com Instagram: @dr.tonyxholmes Facebook: CoachedxTony

Moné reminds us that becoming who you were created to be requires faith, work, exploration, and a willingness to keep going—even when you're still figuring it out.
