Who was she before motherhood?

In this raw and revealing episode of The Torch Mom Podcast, we sit down with Ashley a powerhouse mom of three, UGC creator, doula, and soon-to-be nonprofit founder. From surviving trauma and breaking generational cycles to launching businesses and returning to school, Ashley opens up about the layers of identity that existed before “mom” and how she’s reclaiming every part of herself.

If you’ve ever felt lost in the chaos of motherhood, this conversation will remind you: you’re not alone, and you’re not done becoming.
