About this listen

In this episode of Ladylike: The Girl Dad Podcast, Anton sits down with Ashley Guerra — a physical therapist, foster mom, and new mother to her daughter, Lily.

Ashley shares how foster care opened her eyes to the deeper stories behind families, and how becoming a mom to a child with disabilities has completely reshaped the way she sees the world. She talks about surviving Lily’s infancy — months marked by sleepless nights, endless tears, full-time work, and the weight of a foster care case — and the quiet strength she found in her own mother’s support.

Together, Ashley and Anton reflect on what it means to redefine “ladylike,” not as fitting a mold, but as living with both strength and tenderness through every season. Ashley’s honesty shines as she speaks about sacrifice, resilience, and her hope for a more inclusive world for Lily and children like her.

This is a conversation about grit, grace, and the beauty that can grow out of the hardest seasons of life.
