Episode Description

When Ashley Jo's world fell apart—the death of her young son, the collapse of her marriage, and the depths of addiction—she turned her pain into purpose. In this raw and emotional conversation, Ashley shares how she survived unimaginable grief, overcame suicidal thoughts, and found healing through sobriety, grace, and faith.

We talk about:

  • The devastating diagnosis and loss of her son

  • What it's really like to grieve and feel relief at the same time

  • How shame and secrecy fuel addiction

  • Why her affair was actually an "exit affair"

  • The spiral that led to her rock bottom moment—and how she came back stronger

  • Finding peace with God, grace, and herself

This is an episode about the power of truth, forgiveness, and redemption. If you've ever carried shame or struggled to believe in second chances, this one's for you.
