I Survived My Greatest Fear

You'd think that surviving 28 surgeries, ovarian cancer, and a disease she'd has since birth would've meant that Ashley had survived her greatest fear. But in fact, being vulnerable and showing the world her truest self is the fear that Ashley has survived. After the SoulPancake video about her disease was viewed around the world, the response she received about her vulnerability was overwhelming heartwarming. What have you survived?

"The peace you're looking for is on the other side of fear", I think this is probably going to be the quote of my life. Thank you

[love]

There is beauty is every soul never let fear take that away from you because you are loved by many inside & out.

"I am just human and one day this body is gonna be gone but what will remain is my legacy". As someone who has deep body issues and struggles to love it and take care of it properly because of a rape and an abortion, it resonated within me. I'm not sure why yet. Thank you.

I remember your video when you made that step and it was profoundly moving. It gave other people freedom. It was selfless. Thank you.

Her voice is so calming and soothing to me andå and her eyes too, they are really beautiful just like her story. I wish her the best and hope for others that they can be less shallow and focus on themselves instead of criticizing others ❤️💕

Her eyes brought me here. I saw in them a lot of hope and pain in them, in the thumbnail so I clicked, and glad I did
