Ashley shares her raw and real journey through childhood s*xual assault, the unglamorous but transformative work of therapy, and how learning to set boundaries changed everything.We talk about the courage it takes to speak your truth, the strength found in community, and why healing isn’t a one-and-done — it’s a lifelong, sometimes messy, always-worth-it journey. Ashley’s podcast and personal mission are all about reminding people they’re not broken — they’re becoming. And this conversation? It’s your reminder that you don’t have to heal in silence or isolation. What you will learn in this episode:Your story holds power — when you share it, you give others permission to do the same.Therapy was a game-changer for Ashley’s healing and continues to be a vital tool.Boundaries aren’t just helpful — they’re necessary for growth, safety, and peace.Healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
