Flame Bearers: UNEDITED

UNEDITED: Life Gets Better. So Much Better


Listen Later

“Don’t wait for perfect timing. Just start.”
That’s the mindset Ashley Dyce lives by—and it’s what’s fueled her journey from discovering the Paralympics through a TV commercial to becoming a Team USA Para Powerlifter.
Born and raised in Covina, California, Ashley is preparing for LA 2028—her hometown Games. “I’ve had one competition in the U.S. in eight years. This time, my whole community gets to come cheer me on. That means everything.” Off the platform, Ashley’s a certified life coach, entrepreneur, graphic designer —and recently published her first book (details below). “Your girl is busy,” she laughs.
In today's conversation, Ashley opens up about the mental, physical, and spiritual hurdles she’s faced on her path. From shoulder injuries and missed Games to the power of visualization and daily discipline, she’s stayed grounded through it all. “Even if I can’t train, I focus on what I can do—eat clean, visualize, rest. She also cites her faith as her rock sharing, “My faith is every day to me. I honestly believe I wouldn’t be here without my faith, without believing in God.”
She also dives into the misconceptions surrounding adaptive athletes: “Not every disabled person becomes a Paralympian. We train just as hard. We compete at the highest levels.”
Her advice? “Whatever your goal is—make the call, apply, eat better. Just take one step forward today.”
