After getting pregnant at a young age and becoming pregnant while on birth control with her second child, she found herself spiraling into deep depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.Ashley vulnerably shares what it was like to feel disconnected from her baby, her body, and herself — and how therapy, community, mindset shifts, and the intentional use of cannabis became powerful parts of her healing journey.Together, we talk about the real, raw, and often unspoken sides of motherhood — the guilt, the shame, the exhaustion — and how Ashley found her way back to hope, presence, and purpose.This episode is for any mom who’s ever felt lost, alone, or like she’s failing.
