Some wounds run so deep they become the foundation of who we are. Ashley's story begins with unimaginable loss – her mother murdered by her father when she was just two years old – yet transforms into a powerful testament to the human capacity for resilience and purpose.

Through raw, honest conversation, Ashley reveals how early tragedy created a pattern that would follow her throughout life, culminating in an abusive relationship that mirrored her childhood trauma. The turning point? A profound moment when her young son's simple words – "You did the right thing, Ma" – awakened her to breaking generational cycles of pain.

Ashley's 21-year military journey began as an escape but became a crucible for her strength, earning her the nickname "Pit Bull" for her unwavering determination. Now a successful PR specialist and business owner, she describes the people who've supported her healing as "healing compasses" – guiding her back to positivity when darkness threatens to overwhelm.

Perhaps most powerful is Ashley's message about facing trauma head-on: "You must face your trauma so you can see in front of you instead of always trying to cover up what was behind you." Her journey demonstrates how vulnerability becomes strength when we stop hiding our wounds and start using them to connect authentically with others.

Whether you're navigating your own trauma or supporting someone who is, Ashley's story offers a roadmap for turning pain into purpose. How might your own challenges become the foundation for something meaningful? Listen now and discover how healing happens when we brave enough to share our whole selves.
