This week on Ghosted, we’re joined by Ashley Spivey for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had yet.
Ashley opens up about losing her dad, suddenly becoming his executor, and then discovering that her boyfriend had cheated on her just months later. That heartbreak eventually led her to The Bachelor and, years later, to a life she never could have imagined for herself.
But Ashley’s story didn’t stop there. She gets incredibly candid about fertility struggles, miscarriages, pregnancy loss, and ultimately losing her son, CJ, who she carried and gave birth to stillborn.
We talk about what it means to grieve a child, the complicated realities of pregnancy and fertility loss, and the ways the healthcare system can make already devastating experiences even harder to navigate. Ashley also shares why she continues to use her platform to talk openly about the things people are often expected to suffer through quietly.
This is a conversation about grief, motherhood, loss, advocacy, healthcare, and finding a way to keep living when your life looks completely different than you imagined.
Ashley is honest, vulnerable, funny, and incredibly open about the parts of her story that so many people are afraid to talk about.
Because sometimes grief doesn’t just change your life. It changes the way you see the world.
