I Could Never Do That 81 Ashley Brush - Rising from the Ashes and Heading to the Mountains
Ashley Brush was born and raised in a strict, religious upbringing and, by her early 20s, she was married, with a young son, and was also a stepmother to two other children.
At this time, because she was playing by a strict set of rules, she says she had no idea who she really was because she was so young and never gave herself an opportunity to find out.
Resentment and depression were the norms, which led to drugs and binge eating to numb the pain.
Just a couple of years ago, Ashley went back to one joy she had as a child/teenager — running. She quietly started running again and, magically, a portal opened to happiness, joy, self-confidence, and profound freedom.
THIS is what she was meant to do…and today she’s doing it. Ashley is a coach, trainer, and ultra-endurance athlete. She runs redjasperrunning.com and the Rising Runners group in Bend, OR. She's also a coach for Team RunRun, working with runners of all levels.
By “pouring love all over herself,” she has started to discover the woman she was meant to be.
