Ashlie opens up about her journey from childhood to adulthood. She grew up in a devout Catholic household, frequently moving around the country due to her father's work in military housing construction. There was a series of religious schools, then eventually the family settled into a Lutheran school in Tomball, Texas, where Ashlie became a competitive cheerleader.

Despite the challenges of relocating and dealing with unkind peers, Ashlie found stability in cheerleading, which remained a constant through her high school and college years.

Her narrative delves into her family dynamics, the strict yet loving upbringing by her parents, and her evolving understanding of her own identity and resilience through various personal and professional challenges.

From overcoming adversity to carving her own path.

Whitney Ramirez's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. In this episode, we dive into Whitney's past, a mosaic of challenges and triumphs that shaped her indomitable spirit.

Growing up believing her great-grandparents were her grandparents and dealing with a serious health scare at an early age, she faced life with a resilience that is as inspiring as it is humbling. Whitney's story is one of grit and determination; working multiple jobs to keep the lights on after losing her caretakers, she was the first in her family to attend and graduate from college, all while managing a chronic health condition.

Her life is a powerful testimony to the strength of the human spirit and an embodiment of the belief that where you come from doesn't determine where you're going.
