Episode 10: Woman on the Remake: Coming Back After Life Knocks You Down

Ashley is a former lawyer currently studying theology.  Ashley faced a big personal remake at age 42.  She shares the difficulties she faced in her marriage to a man with a substance abuse problem.  She faced additional health issues resulting from exposure to black mold and even faced homelessness.  It seemed nothing she was doing to "fix" her life was working. 

She came upon a friend who asked if she had done any inner work, since it seemed the "outer" work wasn't helping.  It was that day that began letting go of controlling the situation she was in, and came to trust that she was where she was supposed to be.  She was able to reach a place of gratitude for what she DID have.  She spent time working on being "present" and enjoying the small things. 

The moment she reached a place of peace with where she was, the positive growth began to occur. Through intensive study of theology and physics, Ashley's personal philosophy began to evolve.
