In this vulnerable and heartfelt episode, Ashley-Moniique opens up about why May is such a heavy month. As we honor Mental Health Awareness Month, she reflects on personal trauma—including a life-altering car accident, the weight of domestic violence, and the impact of substance abuse in past relationships.

She speaks on being triggered by recent news in the media, how her body holds onto the pain of this season, and the emotional crash after riding the high of joyful moments like the podcast festival and the Kendrick Lamar concert.

This episode is a soft reminder that healing isn’t linear, and it’s okay to not be okay. Ashley shares her truth, affirms her growth, and holds space for anyone who’s also navigating grief, shame, or just a rough patch.

If May feels heavy for you too, this one’s for you.
