The Cradled In Hope Book

TUNE IN NOW

Listen to me on the Cradled in Hope Podcast!

I’m a wife, mom, Kansas girl, and a follower of Jesus. I’ve walked through deep grief and unthinkable loss—but by His grace, I’ve found purpose in my pain. Now I use my voice to share the hope of the Gospel and the beauty of a faith refined by fire.

Hello there! I'm Ashley.

I'm a Christian author, podcaster, and the Executive Director of Bridget's Cradles.

MY TESTIMONY

Now I write and speak to help women find hope and healing and to live victoriously in Christ.

I’ve walked through the pain of adultery, divorce, and the stillbirth of my daughter. I’ve faced health challenges with my son—and my life shattered when a drunk driver took my dad’s life.

But even in the darkest moments, Jesus never left. He met me in the ashes and began writing a story of redemption, healing, and hope.

Jesus has carried me through the deepest valleys of loss and heartbreak.

ABOUT ME

MY STORY

These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

-1 Peter 1:7 NIV

Life brings painful trials, but God uses them to refine us—not destroy us. This is where brokenness becomes beauty, pain finds purpose, and your story is redeemed for His glory.

Grief. Loss. Trauma.
