Episode description

We’re about to welcome a new year, a new decade, and many of us are making plans and setting goals. Which is great. But what happens when life derails those plans? 

At age 33, with children aged 2, 4, and 6, Ashli was diagnosed with cancer. In today’s episode, Ashli shares how she dealt with her fears and how she managed to embrace the hand life dealt her while squeezing happiness out of everyday choices. Wonder Woman costume for your first chemo treatment and wedding dress for your last? Why not? 

This episode is full of inspiration, courage, and hope. It’s a reminder of how little control we have...and how much control we have. Monkey wrenches may wreck our plans, but we always have a choice about how we respond.  

In today’s episode you’ll learn:
  • About Ashli’s background, her high-risk pregnancies, and her cancer diagnosis
  • Why Ashli blogged through her cancer journey
  • Why Ashli wore costumes on her chemo treatment days
  • About her support system and care team
  • How to stay on the sunny side when hard stuff happens
