Listen Later

PART TWO: Ashana shares her incredible wisdom around breaking the cycles of trauma, overcoming abandonment and control to create the life she desires for herself and her family.


Abandoned by her mother at just two weeks of age, Ashana's childhood continued to be a series of abandonments. Despite being a bright kid who loved school, this lack of love and care turned Ashana’s life into chaos. From as early as eleven months of age, Ashana’s mother would put coffee in her bottle, sparking a lifelong caffeine addiction. As a teenager, still seeking that adrenaline rush and with no-one to guide her, Ashana began engaging in risky behaviors, leading to some devastating outcomes.


In this powerful episode, Ashana shares her compelling journey from a childhood marked by abandonment, trauma, and abuse to finding her personal power and now helping others to do the same.


***Ashana says "So much of where I’m at today is thanks to my amazing teacher, Liana Shanti. Her posts were the light in the darkness that truly helped me turn everything around. To learn more about mother wound and father wound, or healing from narcissistic relationships, go to https://www.instagram.com/lianashanti
