From Surviving to Thriving: Embracing Life After Tragedy

At just 19 years old, Ashley survived a life-altering sexual assault and faced years of fear while her attacker remained at large. Thanks to advancements in forensic DNA, justice was served, and her attacker received a 138-year prison sentence. Through her book, Ashley provides hope and healing for survivors while shedding light on the critical role of DNA in achieving justice,
influencing policy, and preventing future tragedies. Her story is a
powerful testament to human resilience and the profound impact of
science in creating a safer world.

What Brought Me To YouTube?

On my podcast, Coursen’s Corner, I sit down with some of my best friends, trusted mentors, and industry experts as we discuss their secrets to success, personal growth, and becoming the best versions of themselves.

As a combat veteran, threat management pro, expert witness, and author of the best-selling book The Safety Trap, I wanted to bring my real-world experience and practical insights to every episode.

Each week, my guests and I will cover everything from mental health and physical fitness to entrepreneurship and life hacks—there’s no topic off-limits. Whether you’re seeking practical tips for personal safety, advice on relationships, or inspiration to chase your passions, Coursen’s Corner has something for you.
