Text me, bestie!

In this raw and emotional episode of The Power of You, I’m opening up about a chapter I never wanted to record… my husband’s deployment.

This isn’t just about saying goodbye. It’s about what it means to hold it all, deep love, heavy goodbyes, and quiet strength… while still showing up for life, for your family, and for yourself.

I’m sharing what those final moments felt like, the unexpected guilt of crying in front of my kids, and the grace I’m learning to give myself as I carry the weight of it all. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to be strong while your heart feels fragile, this one’s for you.

You’ll hear real talk about the mental load, the invisible pressure to “handle it,” and why being soft doesn’t make you any less strong. We’re rewriting what strength looks like, together.

So if you’re walking through your own version of goodbye, or just need a reminder that you’re allowed to be human while being powerful… this episode will speak to you.

💗 Let’s breathe together.

Let’s hold space for it all.

Let’s stay rooted in the power of us.

XO, Ashley Ta
