With Felicity Ashley.....Motivational Speaker.....Author Of 'Stronger Than The Storm’

from The Sisterhood....In Session · host Sarah Ridge

Mother of three Felicity Ashley became one of fewer than 250 women to row an ocean – an achievement made even more extraordinary by the fact she did it while unknowingly battling bowel cancer.After 20 years leading a marketing team, she joined a crew of four working mums - they named themselves The Mothership. On returning, she was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer. This was the catalyst for positive change and after her treatment she left her corporate role to become a professional speaker - to give her a platform to share her story to inspire others and help other people facing challenges or adversity.Seeing the impact she has on audiences as a speaker she was inspired to write ‘Stronger Than The Storm’ - a memoire style account of her journey and lessons learned.Her story has been featured across major media platforms, including BBC News and Sport, Lorraine, The Telegraph, and Woman & Home.In May 2025, to mark the third anniversary of her diagnosis, she completed the world’s highest marathon at Everest Base Camp. She wants to continue to inspire audiences and readers to dream big, overcome challenges and thrive through change.WWatch this space for my 4-year and 5-year milestone adventures! She lives near Oxford with her husband, Paul, and their children, Sam, Ben, and Grace.Head HERE to find out more about Felicity. You have been listening to The Sisterhood....In Session Podcast - thank you so much for joining us!The Sisterhood Networking Group is an award winning franchise with branches in many locations across the UK.We are passionate about changing the face of in person networking, our goal being to make it as accessible and affordable for as many as possible.Nothing local for you to attend?
