  • Disappointed

    This podcast is for Ashlyn’s ego. She has zero interviewing skills. She basically wanted a platform to talk about herself. Her reputation was destroyed by cheating on her wife and family and her attempt to restore it by doing a podcast about people being resilient has back fired.

    Bummer to have Shannon Beverage on and monopolize the majority of the episode talking about yourself. I would have LOVED if you’d asked her what she wants! She’s spoken publicly about her am desire to have kids and that being the demise of her last relationship Yet Ashlyn spent the time talking about HER experience w adoption, kids, etc… Plainly put, not everyone has the skills necessary to interview ppl! Shes a lovely person but she should not host her own show. Only a select few ppl are trul... more
