About this listen

Just like trees need wind to develop deeper roots and grow stronger, humans need adversity to build resilience. Ashlyn Colette embodies this powerful metaphor, having survived a devastating car accident, family trauma, addiction, and mental health crisis—all before finding her path to recovery and self-acceptance. In this vulnerable conversation, Ashlyn discusses her journey from feeling like "nothing" to discovering self-love, the difference between toxic and healing communities, and why accepting all parts of yourself, including shame and guilt—is essential for personal growth and lasting transformation.
