Advertise on podcast: She Rises with Ashy & Tijana

On this weeks she rises podcast, we sit down with a woman who knows what it means to lose everything and slowly find her way back. Three years ago she became a widow, and in the grief that followed she didn't just lose her husband, she lost herself. This is the story of the unravelling, the long road through the dark, and the quiet turning point where she decided to change direction. It's about who she's becoming now, the new lease on life she never saw coming, and what it really takes to rebuild from the ground up. Raw, tender and deeply honest, this one will stay with you.
