Best-selling author Ashley C. Ford joins us today to talk about becoming a writer, writing about family, love, trauma, shame, positive self-talk, the full integration of the self, and ultimately learning to trust and enjoy ourselves just as we are. Ashley's debut memoir, Somebody's Daughter, came out earlier this year.Don't forget: We have a Patreon!
