In this heartfelt episode of Perfectly Blended, Ashley Mitchell—entrepreneur, salon owner, and single mom—shares what it means to redefine family, identity, and faith after life takes an unexpected turn.
Ashley opens up about her journey from being in a relationship with her best friend, to an unplanned but deeply cherished pregnancy, and the emotional shift that followed. She vulnerably shares how moving back home after the breakup led to becoming a caregiver for her mother, who was soon diagnosed with stage four cancer.
Through love, loss, and legacy, Ashley talks about what it really means to live a blended life—one where joy and grief coexist, where motherhood is reimagined, and where strength is softened by grace.
Love y'all.
