Dating Detours – Episode 17: She Survived Her ‘Starter Husband’ and Found Her Soulmate
The first guest who actually made it out of the chaos — and into a healthy marriage.
Ashley joins Marcus to share a rare thing on Dating Detours — a story that ends well.
She’s our first guest who’s currently married and genuinely happy, but it took a lot of wreckage to get there. From her “starter husband” to healing deep family wounds, Ashley lays out the messy road between toxicity and true love.
She opens up about learning what real partnership feels like, how therapy changed her patterns, and why self-awareness was the key to finding her soulmate. This one’s vulnerable, funny, and packed with truth bombs for anyone learning to love again after chaos.
🔥 What you’ll hear:
Why your first marriage might’ve just been your training round
Healing after narcissistic relationships and childhood trauma
The secret to co-parenting without bitterness
How healthy love actually feels
The inner work that makes real love possible
