Hi and

I am a mom struggling well podcast. My name is Emily Thomas and I am a mom on a mission to get a new perspective.

Y'all I am not proud of it but I spent far too long waiting for my daily

irritations to resolve before the good times can begin. And I'm thinking the struggles are just going to keep

coming so I might as well get a new plan. God promises if we

persevere through our daily struggles our character will be built and will end up

with a hope that doesn't disappoint. And I don't know about you but my hardest days happen when I've lost sight of that hope.

So if that's your story too, join me each week as I interview someone who is passed from just struggling

to struggling well.

Hey guys, welcome to episode 41.

If you are new here, that's awesome.

We're so glad you're here.

There are about 7 million podcasts and I understand that you could listen to anyone so thanks for listening to this one.

I am so tired you guys I love my kids but birthday parties are a beating and I even went super simple this year, still a beating.

So glad they only come once a year. You parents who have lots and lots of kids, I don't even

know how you do it. My kids want to celebrate half

birthdays, no way Jose. At least that's what I feel like at the end of this

birthday party day. So I am excited to share the perspective of this week's guest Ashley Hackshaw.

I first heard her story a few months back when she spoke at a conference that I attended.

We had the best time chatting and I knew that I wanted to share her story with you guys.

For so many of us, the word cancer is the ultimate fear.

It seems like it would be the end of everything good in our lives,
