Congratulations on the book! Your story is going to help free so many people.

(Is that Yvonne Orji’s photo from the purity culture conference?) I can so relate about leaning into God in the most unhealthy ways at the time we most need relief.

Thank you Sharifa! And you know, I never thought about it but it is quite possible that it is her because we had the same spiritual mentor who ministered heavily around purity.

Your mind was working against you and yet, you had the forethought to record those videos. That's pretty brilliant. 🫶🏾

I'm so happy that I did! I mentioned that I hadn't been consistent with writing and it wasn't helping so that prompted me to start recording them.

Congratulations 🎈🎉🍾 That’s amazing ! I wish you all the success you can get! I too struggled around that time with mental health. I know it feels good to be in a better place. Good luck with everything!

Ashleigh, I can't wait to read your body of work. I love that you recorded your journals too. What a fantastic way to document life when you aren't up to writing. It sounds like you've been on quite a journey.

It’s incredible that you were able to document your journey! I often find it difficult to write when I do not feel my best but I may borrow your video idea.

All the very best to you as you write this body of work. I can’t wait to read.

Love and light 🌟✨💫

Thank you Anella! Video and audio are definitely good alternatives when written words fail us. You can just ramble on or off camera and still find a release while struggling to write.

Having recordings and writing to look back & recognize your growth is the best. Thank you for giving us a front row seat to your book writing process/progress. I can’t wait to read!

It really is the best. There are some years where I have more writings than recordings and vice versa so I’m glad I gave myself multiple mediums to get the thoughts out.
