170 | Love Is The Resistance

WITH ASHLEY ABERCROMBIE

 
We have all these stigmas around difficult emotions and we do the same thing with difficult situations. With conflict, we think if things were going well and I was doing this right then there would be no conflict. And the truth is that in every relationship there is conflict and tension.
— Ashley Abercrombie
 

About Episode:

Why is it that we want to avoid conflict so much in our lives? With everything that is going on in the world right now (racism, gender inequality, cancel culture) we need to show love and use our voices like never before.

In this episode, we talk about some of the current events in our world like the conservatorship of Britney Spears, the injustice of Bill Cosby being let out of prison on a legal technicality, and what it looks like to love amidst so much conflict.

Ashley Abercrombie fought to overcome addiction, rape, abortion, perfectionism, and dysfunctional relationships to become an honest, whole, and free woman (most days). She wore a mask more than half her life and considers herself too old, and too annoyed to ever put that thing on again.

Ashley is a writer and speaker, with a passion for justice, particularly anti-human trafficking and mass incarceration initiatives. Ashley is an Executive Board Member of Treasures, a non-profit that reaches and supports women in the sex industry and victims of sexual exploitation, while training leaders globally.

Ashley is featured in many magazines and digital outlets, including Darling, Relevant and Grit and Virtue. Her YouVersion Bible study, Finding God in the Hard Places, has been completed by over 200,000 people. Alongside fellow author and speaker, Tiffany Bluhm, Ashley is the co-host for the hilarious and helpful podcast Why Tho, which debuted at #57 on the iTunes Religion & Spirituality charts. Her first book, Rise of the Truth Teller: Own Your Story, Tell it Like it Is and Live with Holy Gumption is available wherever books are sold.

Ashley, and her husband Cody, are nearly brain dead from sleep deprivation, but love their life, raising two incredible sons, Levi and Lucas, in the suburbs of LA.
