We talk Covid and Ventilators with Ashley Estes.

Ashley Estes is a COVID-19 survivor who was hospitalized early in the pandemic, an experience that permanently reshaped her understanding of fear, recovery, and resilience. During her illness and the long recovery that followed, she also experienced domestic violence, a reality that compounded the physical and emotional toll of being sick and isolated. Ashley speaks openly about her story to highlight the overlapping vulnerabilities that crises can expose and the strength it takes to survive them. Her journey reflects both the visible and invisible aftermath of COVID, as well as the courage required to heal from trauma that occurs behind closed doors. By sharing her experience, she hopes to help others feel less alone and to encourage empathy, awareness, and compassion.
