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.

About Episode:

Are you ready to make some bold moves in your life? It’s easy to say that we want to see change and growth, but when push comes to shove it’s a lot harder than we think it’s going to be. Which is precisely why we need one another — to champion and cheer each other on. 

Whether you’re in a season of transition, launching something brand new in your life, or if you’re teetering on the edge trying to decide whether or not you should get back in the game, this episode will inspire you to make some bold moves in your life.

In this episode, we’re talking about redefining what success looks like and what it takes to actually make those bold moves. I’ve enlisted my good friend Cathie Ostapchuk to help inspire us all.  

Cathie Ostapchuk is a speaker, leadership development consultant, author, and coach. She is Co-Founder and Lead Catalyst of Gather Women (gatherwomen.com) and Co-Hosts the HerInfluence podcast.

Cathie is committed to raising the profile and presence of Canadian Christian women, believing that gathering, equipping, and mobilizing will nurture a catalytic influence and impact our churches, and culture.

091 | There’s Power In Your Story

WITH ASHLEY ABERCROMBIE

Our stories matter. Many of us suffer in silence and wonder if we are alone in our pain. The truth about our past has the power to heal. When we are the first to share; the first to be vulnerable; the first to bravely face and overcome abuse, failure shame or addiction; or the first to forgive, dream again or be a true friend, it helps us realize that we are not alone an that we are not crazy.
— Ashley Abercrombie
 

About Episode:

Have you been honest with yourself about your truth? We all have a unique story to tell and no two are alike. Not only does our story have the power to propel us into our purpose but it also can help others realize their own healing and freedom.

During the episode sh*t got real and I opened up about my own faith journey and what that means for my life moving forward. Ashley was so gracious to make space for me to have that moment, guiding into my own truth.
