In this moving episode, hosts Louis and Aaron sit down with Ashley Arick, whose story shows both the devastating grip of addiction and the incredible power of redemption.Ashley grew up with a decent upbringing, surrounded by the kind of support and stability many would think could keep her safe.

But even with that foundation, her life took a sharp turn into chaos. What should have been a normal path forward instead became a nightmare as drugs and alcohol consumed her world.After years of battling addiction, Ashley fought her way into sobriety. She not only got clean but also began working at a recovery center, helping others find the same freedom she had discovered.

On the outside, her life looked like a picture of success and redemption.But then, one day, Ashley relapsed. Instead of reaching out, she felt forced to hide it from the world, carrying the secret while continuing to live a double life. That weight nearly broke her, but it also became a turning point.Today, Ashley is sober again—and stronger than ever. She has dedicated her life to helping other addicts and alcoholics, using her story to prove that recovery isn’t about perfection, but about honesty, persistence, and never giving up.

This interview is raw, unfiltered, and deeply inspiring. Ashley opens up about her decent upbringing, her spiral into addiction, her relapse in secrecy, and her powerful comeback. Her story is proof that no matter how many times you stumble, you can always stand back up and find a new purpose.
