In this episode, Ashley Michelle shares her powerful journey of triumph over trauma. Titled "Finding Strength Through Tragedy," the book focuses on the healing process after experiencing horrific traumas. Ashley opens up about the various layers of trauma she has encountered throughout her life, starting from witnessing her biological dad's violent behavior as a child and facing bullying in school.

The pivotal moment came in 2016 when Ashley's life took an unimaginable turn. She was assaulted while running on a trail in July, and in August, she faced a life-threatening event when her ex-partner not only took the life of one of his friends but also attempted to take Ashley's life. This gripping account of survival and resilience sheds light on the power of the human spirit and the journey towards healing.

What if one of life's greatest challenges became an opportunity to discover strength you never knew you had?

In this inspiring episode of In the Rising Podcast, Bettina Brown sits down with author and breast cancer survivor Kelly Motley, whose book, The Fight for My Life: Boxing Through Chemo, chronicles her remarkable journey through cancer and the life-changing lessons she learned inside the boxing ring.

Long before her diagnosis, Kelly unknowingly began preparing for one of life's toughest battles. What started as an outlet for stress evolved into a source of physical, mental, and spiritual resilience. Through boxing, strength training, and the guidance of wise coaches and mentors, Kelly developed the mindset and tools that would help her navigate chemotherapy, surgeries, and the uncertainty of cancer with courage and hope.

Together, Bettina and Kelly explore the powerful connection between the mind, body, and spirit, discussing how visualization, breathwork, movement, and surrounding yourself with the right people can transform the healing journey.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How boxing unexpectedly prepared Kelly for her breast cancer journey
• Why healing is about more than physical treatment
• The importance of breath, visualization, and mindset during difficult seasons
• How movement and exercise supported Kelly through chemotherapy
• Why leaning into challenges can sometimes make us stronger
• The power of journaling and creating your own "tool belt" for life
• How to protect your energy and choose who belongs in your corner
• Why hope and visualization can help shape the future you want to create
• How unexpected circumstances can reveal strengths you never knew you possessed

Kelly also shares how her experiences inspired her to write The Fight for My Life: Boxing Through Chemo, a book created for anyone facing a health crisis, life transition, or unexpected challenge. Her message is simple but profound:

If she can do it, you can too.

Whether you're navigating cancer, supporting someone you love, or facing an entirely different battle, this conversation offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that healing is not just about surviving—it's about becoming stronger, more resilient, and more deeply connected to who you are.

Because sometimes life throws punches—but we can learn how to keep getting back up.
