Welcome to the Trauma Therapist podcast. My name is Guy McPherson. I interview incredible people who've dedicated their lives to helping those who've been impacted by trauma. A big thank you to our sponsors and our guests who are supporting this show.

So five, four, three, two, and one. Our folks, welcome back to the podcast. Very excited to talk today to Ashley Delilo.

Ashley, welcome. Thank you. I'm excited to be here. Awesome. Ashley is a brain coach, keynote speaker,

and creator of bioemotional healing, a neuroscience-based method that helps people rewire their

nervous systems to break free from emotional trauma, limiting beliefs, anxiety, and unhealthy patterns.

Drawn from her own 20-year journey overcoming life-threatening illness, chronic pain, and emotional trauma,

and later becoming an elite athlete and performer, athlete guides clients

to transform entrenched brain body reactions and create lasting change. Her work centers on helping

people shift from survival mode into genuine self-connection, confidence, and emotional freedom

through structured practical processes. All right, Ashley, just a little bit about you.

Before we get going, share with the listeners where you're from originally and where you are currently.

health, loved life, danced five hours a day, and literally overnight I was fighting for my life. I woke up

in a body that had pain in every joint and muscle, a high fever. It's like I went to bed in one body

and woke up in a completely different one. And even still, when that first happened, I thought,

man, I got hit with a really bad virus or flu or something,

but I had no idea that that journey would be four years long of fighting for my life.

And it obviously, there's a lot to it.

But the bottom line was, you know, this was 29 years ago, so a very different world, right?
