Healing the Inner Child: How Ashley Reclaimed Her Voice, Faith & Freedom

In this powerful final chapter of Ashley’s story on Not That Girl Anymore, host Dawn Boillon and Ashley return to the heart of healing—the moment a woman finally realizes she matters.

After years of anxiety, exhaustion, people-pleasing, and religious conditioning, Ashley uncovers the deeper roots of her pain. Through therapy, self-discovery, and faith re-imagined, she learns that healing isn’t a single moment—it’s a lifelong relationship with herself.

Ashley shares how:

• Anxiety became her body’s alarm system calling her back to self-care and compassion.
• Boundaries turned into sacred protection for peace, purpose, and emotional safety.
• Childhood wounds and church conditioning shaped her identity—and how she broke free.
• Perfectionism and people-pleasing kept her small, and how letting go created space for creativity, art, and joy.
• Art and therapy helped her reconnect to the little girl within, transforming pain into purpose.
• Safe community and authentic friendships became the medicine that rewired her nervous system and her beliefs about love.

Now an artist and future therapist, Ashley is helping others do the same—teaching women that self-awareness, support, and compassion aren’t luxuries, they’re lifelines.

This final part of Ashley’s three-part series is a testimony to the courage it takes to face your story, rewrite the patterns, and finally live from your truth. It’s an invitation to remember that healing is holy work—and that joy, creativity, and connection are waiting on the other side.
