Rooted in Care: Ashlynn's Work in Hospice, Grief & Making Outside a Priority
At just 32 years old, Ashlynn has built a career walking alongside individuals and families during some of life's most vulnerable seasons.
A Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in gerontology, the study of aging, Ashlynn has worked across hospice, home health, and programs designed to help older adults remain in their homes despite chronic illness, poverty, and mental health challenges. Her professional focus includes death and dying, grief and loss, and helping families navigate those deeply emotional transitions with dignity.
After earning her Bachelor's in Social Work from Mercyhurst University and completed a Master's of social work program from the University of Pittsburgh , and recently completed 3,000 supervised hours and passed her Licensed Clinical Social Work exam.
If you're watching the video version, behind Ashlynn is a photograph of the flowers she grew herself for her wedding a detail that feels symbolic. Whether she's supporting families through grief or tending to a garden with her dad, Ashlynn understands that care takes time, intention, and grounding.
We talk about:
• Aging and gerontology
• Hospice and end-of-life care
• Grief and loss
• Burnout and sustainability in helping professions
• Why stepping outside matters more than we think
If you work in healthcare, social work, caregiving or simply want to better understand the aging process and how to support loved ones, this conversation is for you.
