Why Tho

Ashley, who had a pHd in pretending, learned to take her mask off and get honest with a little old-fashioned truth-telling. Overcoming drugs, alcohol, an eating disorder, and dysfunctional relationships, Ashley opens up about the journey of recovery, dealing with fear, and learning to live in meaningful, reciprocal relationships. She started in Eden, North, Carolina, then moved to Los Angeles, and now lives in Manhattan, where she pastors a church on Wall Street with her husband, Cody, and is a full-time writer and speaker. For close to a decade, Ashley has been advocating for change, speaking out against injustice and serving people across diverse spaces and places. She's hilarious and honest, and nearly brain-dead from sleep deprivation while raising two young sons in Harlem, New York. Why wouldn't you want to listen to that story tho? Read more at Ashley's blog, www.ashabercrombie.org. Her first book will be released in the Fall of 2019, so sign-up for all the details!

Tiffany, who was left in an orphanage at two-days-old in India, has overcome impossible odds to become an adoptive mother and birth mother, and wife to her husband Derek. She's a full-time writer, international speaker, and the Gatherer-in-Chief of SIP, a table gathering that serves hundreds of women each season in the Seattle area. She drops wisdom bombs like: "Fixing the exterior doesn't fix the interior," and "What's breaking you, is also what's making you." She talks about shame, fear, anxiety, discrimination, abandonment, dreams and more. Why wouldn't you want to share this podcast tho?
