How did Ashley survive life-threatening medical emergencies and violent relationships?
The depths of the girl who wouldn't die. I'm talking about facing death at gunpoint. I'm talking about facing death in medical malpractice lawsuits. Medical professionals look me in the face and in tears as I'm waking up from an 11-hour surgery and saying, baby girl, you died in my arms 10 times today. God just gave me the strength to overcome those times so that I can share my story with the world.

We just finished filming your episode for Legacy Makers. First of all, how do you feel?
I feel like I'm living my dream life. This is a dream. This is a dream come true. I feel magical. I'm really excited.
Well, we spent a lot of time together. I know we just met and I feel like I'm just getting to know you, but you've shared a lot of dark stories, but followed with much brighter outcome. Where would you like to begin? Present day or in the past? Where would you like to start?
I'd like to go talk to my past self five years ago and just say, girl, look at us now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like just give her a big hug and tell her how much I love her now, how much I loved her then, but how far I've really come, you know, like grown as a person. For sure. And ready to do this, ready to share my story and be part of a change in the world that I could only dream of being, you know. For sure, for sure. That seems more of a reality these days.
I was going to say five years ago, the world, six years ago, the world was a different place, but you experienced 10 times far. I wouldn't say a plague, but darker, like your, your, your timeline was far more challenging and you've, you've, you've bounced back to here. Would you like to talk about some of these, these moments, these dark memories?
I would like to say thank you to God. Thank you to God that my story didn't end in those dark places that you're referring to where I lost sight of who I was or my want to or drive to even continue on for my kids and those things that I had claimed to be doing it for for so many years. Going through the motions of... working and being a mom and being a wife and being a daughter and a sister and a friend and all these roles that you juggle um raising a family yeah you know but um I had fun doing it at the same time it was um it wasn't a reality of the darkness that I was covering up in that every day-to-day life. You know, like the things that I was suffering behind closed doors, you know, in my marriage or in my addiction or in my family struggles, those kind of things that I kept quiet and put on a smiling face and stayed strong for the kids and for my job.
