Hola!
This week, I'm continuing my conversation with Ashleigh Hill.
I met Ashleigh almost twenty years ago at a writers' group, and the first thing I learned about her is that she is an amazing poet. She was also managing a band at the time, so y'know, instant cool factor.
Ashleigh's background is in public relations, women's and gender studies, and direct service in women's shelters, volunteer service programs, and women-centric research and programming. She currently oversees conference programming and online education for a nonprofit association.
She loves volunteering with animal rescues - that's how she met her beloved dog Nellie - and she's always a good source for book and documentary recommendations.
This week, we dig into topics such as growing up in evangelical and cult-like environments, grappling with complex PTSD, and exploring the nuances of spirituality and identity. Ashleigh shares her experiences with failed mentor relationships, the significance of solidarity, and her thoughts on the disappointments and manipulations tied to MLMs and commercial cults.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
