This episode is one of the most powerful, honest, and riveting conversations we’ve had on Girls Who Recover. My guest, Ashana Kaiulani, takes us on an extraordinary journey—from surviving domestic violence and spiritual manipulation to reclaiming her identity, her power, and her peace.

Together, we explore what it truly takes to rebuild your life after trauma and how to trust yourself again when every voice has tried to silence you.

Ashana shares honestly that may take your breath away:

  • How she broke free from a violent marriage and found the strength to leave a high-control spiritual community
  • What re-parenting the inner child actually looks like
  • Why self-trust, laughter, and spirituality became her medicine for healing
  • How she turned her pain into purpose through advocacy for survivors of domestic violence
