You know when you meet someone who just radiates strength and resilience, and you can't help but be drawn to their story? That's exactly how I felt when I first met Ashley, my hair stylist, who has bravely battled and healed from deep-rooted childhood and generational trauma. She's not only a survivor but also a beacon of hope for those suffering in silence. In our candid conversation, Ashley reveals the heart-wrenching abuse she faced from her own father, the struggles of coping with the aftermath, and how she is determined to break the cycle of trauma for her children.

Generational trauma isn't just a term, it's a lived reality, and Ashley's journey is a testament to that. Her search for healing led her to reconnect with her estranged sister and confront the traumatic memories that were hidden deep within. There's an element of betrayal, an element of deep wounds, but most importantly, there's an element of healing. As we delve into her story, she uncovers how her mother played a crucial role in her traumatic experiences and how understanding this was pivotal to her healing journey.

But the journey doesn't end there. As we venture further, Ashley discusses the strength she found in her faith, the reconnection and bonding with her sister, and the backlash she faced when she mustered the courage to share her story. She recounts her brother's own healing journey and the importance of setting boundaries. She reminds us all that it's okay to be compassionate towards ourselves, it's okay to feel angry. Her story inspires us all, showing the power of healing, hope, and faith in the midst of the darkest times. Join us as we navigate through Ashley's journey of healing, faith, and hope.
