At just 29 years old — two days before her son’s first birthday — Ashley Catronio was diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer. What followed was a journey that would change everything: from facing chemo while raising a baby, to navigating marriage and self-worth as her body changed, to choosing not to undergo reconstructive surgery and embracing a new definition of femininity.

Ashley opens up about the raw realities of motherhood, identity, healing, and resilience. She shares the fears and guilt of parenting during treatment, the unexpected challenges of life after cancer, and how choosing joy and authenticity became her superpower.
