95. Ashley Bendiksen: Powerfully Inspiring Others with Hope and Healing

Sometimes I am flabbergasted by how things work out to bring someone into my life for the purpose of helping to heal others through this show. This is one of those times…I found Ashley Bendiksen through Instagram, being duly impressed with her mission and accomplishments of bringing her story to national audiences to help bring justice to victim and survivors of interpersonal violence. But she also seemed vaguely familiar to me…then, during a pre-recording conversation I was having with her, she mentioned that I might know of her through a mutual friend of ours. It turned out that, in fact, she was correct!—the friend had recommended Ashley to me as a guest for this show, months ago, I just hadn’t gotten around to reaching out to her. So, it was serendipitous that I had reached out to her so many months later. Ashley is a powerful force in telling of her abusive experiences and how those relationships shaped her into who she is today…someone who really relates to victims and survivors because she’s been there. She’s researched the dynamics and statistics. And she knows how to use her words to help bring positive influences into people’s lives through her book, presentations, and articles. Ashley is available to come speak to your organization, your school, or your agency. And she’ll make a lasting impact. Because she’s authentic, transparent, and powerful. Her contact information is listed below. I encourage you to have her come speak to you, your students, your administration, or your employees. You won’t be sorry.
