This week, we are joined by writer, podcast host, & educator Ashley C. Ford as we explore “who you are”vs. “what you were born into”.
We take a closer look into Ford’s childhood through discussing her newly released memoir titled, Somebody’s daughter: a well-written feature examining poverty, race, body image, parental incarceration, and a beautiful yet very complex family dynamic.
You will be mesmerized by Ford’s storytelling as she shares key lessons with us about the importance of relinquishing our need for control, the power of apologizing to a child, and how to find comfort in the body she once identified as a traitor.
This episode is guaranteed to leave you running to your nearest bookstore to pick up a copy of this book!

1:19.6 | who've transformed their midlife crisis into opportunities for growth and newfound purpose. |
1:26.6 | At some point, we all ask ourselves, is there more to life? |
1:31.4 | I'm here to discover how to thrive in my second act, right alongside you. My so-called midlife is out now, |

1:45.0 | There is a massive gray area of complex experience and emotion where there are infinite |
1:53.5 | possibilities and the worst thing I can think of and the best thing I can think of are |
2:00.6 | equally as likely. And so what will most likely |
2:04.1 | happen is something that exists in that gray area. So I don't have to worry too much about what |
