Ash Brown embodies living bravely. After experiencing tremendous grief, she turned her life’s work into living authentically and learning to live in the ebb and flow of life. Honestly, her life's work is full of inspiration.

Grief Takes Hold

Sadly, only one day after joining the military, Ash’s mother unexpectedly passed away. Not only was her mother her best friend, but she was also her biggest supporter. Unsurprisingly, this caused Ash’s world to crumble. Devastatingly, grief crept into every aspect of her life. She felt hopeless and was left to pick up the pieces.

Embracing Opportunities

In the face of uncertainty, Ash learned to grow from her grief. Suffice it to say, it was a daily process that was certainly never easy. With unbelievable strength, she held onto the hope that things would get better. It was through this process of healing that Ash learned an important lesson: Life never quite plays out as you expect.

Truthfully, there are surprises and new opportunities around every corner. You simply need to remain open to whatever direction your life takes you. While the journey may be uncertain, the destination often offers joy as you’ve never imagined.
