#146 - Surviving Suicide & Inherited Trauma | The Ashley Puig Story

Born just twenty-three days after her decorated father died by suicide, Ashley Puig grew up carrying an inherited wound that eventually pushed her to the brink of taking her own life at just sixteen years old. Waking up on a hospital shower floor, she made a relentless promise to build a life that mattered, but she was continually tested by the loss of loved ones, severe health scares, and watching her fitness empire collapse during the pandemic. Standing in the wreckage, Ashley refused to tap out, channeling her grief into her powerful memoir, The Self Love Advocate, to attack the root cause of our mental health crisis: a fatal deficit of self-worth. We dive deep into why self-love requires immense grit, how to break the toxic habit of performing for others, and what it truly takes to be your own strongest advocate. This is a raw, unflinching conversation about surviving the darkest corners of the mind and making the daily decision to fight for your own life.

Real people. Real stories. Real f**king life.
