When Life Changes You: Finding Healing and Purpose After Illness & Disability with Ashley Pettway


Listen Later

What happens when life changes so dramatically that you change with it? Whether it's a diagnosis, a disability, or a loss that reshapes everything you thought you knew about yourself — the journey back to healing and purpose is real, and it is possible.

In this episode of Highlight Your Healing, I sit down with Ashley — a survivor and licensed therapist who brings two powerful perspectives to this conversation. She has lived through life-altering illness firsthand, and she now helps others navigate the grief, trauma, and identity shifts that come when life stops looking like what you planned.

Together we talk about:

  • What it really means to heal when life has changed you
  • How to navigate the tension between who you were and who you're becoming
  • Finding purpose again when everything feels uncertain
  • What permission you most need to give yourself in the middle of a hard season

If you have ever looked at your life after a major shift and wondered "who am I now" or "is healing even possible for me" — this episode was made for you.
