A Penny for Your Thoughts: Podcast Opener

“I am so thrilled to be a part of your life. Thank you for tuning in. I am Ashley Pennington and this is “A Penny for your thoughts.” I know, a nice little play on words. But also, a place for community. For validation. For healing. I come to you with my own faults. My own shame storm. My own story of redemption. I find peace in simplicity, usually with comfy clothes & vanilla latte in hand. I find strength in Christ, bearing my Bible verse tattoos for the world to see. And I find that the wave of comparison can sweep me off my feet so fast that I have to intentionally anchor myself into what is true and right. I am a wife of an amazing husband that I tend to take for granted. A mother of a rambunctious toddler who never ceases to amaze me. And a person of faith who chooses sobriety and recovery each and every day. When my feet hit the floor, I am blocking and tackling all things, positive and negative, that come my way. If this sounds like you, I encourage you to join me and countless others thinking similar thoughts. Feeling similar feelings. And engaging in vulnerability to lift shame and create community with one another.”
