What happens when your dream job ends — publicly?

In this powerful episode of The Art of Rebounding, Ashley Fox opens up about her journey from growing up in a basketball family to becoming a nationally recognized journalist at Sports Illustrated and ESPN — and the devastating layoff that forced her to redefine who she was beyond the title.

Ashley shares:

Growing up around basketball legends and sports culture

Her early career covering Allen Iverson and the NFL

The moment she was laid off from ESPN

Navigating divorce, grief, and the loss of her father

Hitting emotional rock bottom — and rising again

Launching her podcast Out-Foxed

Turning fear into fuel

This conversation is raw, reflective, and deeply encouraging for anyone facing transition, uncertainty, or identity shifts.

Because sometimes your biggest setback is simply life repositioning you for purpose.
