Healing from the Inside Out After Being Married to an Addict: Ashley Malik's Story

The Sober Living Stories Podcast

Have you ever been in a relationship that carried so much emotional trauma that your health began to suffer?
That's the essence of Ashley Malik's story, and I had the privilege of hosting her on the show where she shared it for the first time. In a deeply personal conversation, she unveils her escape from an abusive marriage entwined with a gambling addiction and the financial deceit that nearly broke her. Ashley's tale is not just one of survival; it's a masterclass in transformation—as she shares her incredible journey, we're reminded of the resilience within us all and the steps we can take toward healing. This episode is a guide on how to turn your pain into purpose. Her story offers a view from the other side of addiction showcasing her strength, love for her son, and passion for helping others.
Ashley Malik, MSW, is not just a health coach; she's your go-to for healing from the inside out. Ashley specializes in creating family-friendly, anti-inflammatory meals for busy women. She teaches the importance of balancing nutrition and family life as a working mom without sacrificing family favorites at the dinner table. We talk about the benefits of anti-inflammatory eating with practicality, the brain health needed to stay on track with our health goals, and the unexpected joy found in the Family Fork, a free guide.
So tune in, and let Ashley's story inspire you to heal yourself from the inside out.
