Grief has a way of uprooting everything you thought you knew about yourself. The life you imagined feels unreachable, and the person you were no longer feels familiar. The question isn’t just, “What do I do now?” but, “Who am I now?”

In her talk, Who Am I After Loss, Ashley guides participants through the layered process of rediscovering themselves after loss. Through compassionate insight, she helps you explore who you were, who you are, and who you’re becoming. This talk will leave you with a renewed sense of possibility for life after loss.

Those inside the grief community often get confused about the five stages of grief. It doesn’t seem to fully resonate. That’s because the stages came from research done by observing people who were dying — not those grieving the dead.

Grief isn’t always tied to death. It shows up in the spaces where trauma, unmet expectations, or even life transitions leave their mark. But many people don’t recognize this grief for what it is, which can make the experience even more isolating.

In her signature talk, The Hidden Faces of Grief, Ashley explores the grief that often accompanies trauma and non-death losses, helping participants identify these feelings and understand what they mean. You’ll walk away with a clearer view of how grief shows up in unexpected places and how to hold space for it—whether for yourself or others.

Grief doesn’t stop at the office door, yet many workplaces don’t know how to support grieving employees or understand how loss impacts productivity. This leaves employees feeling unseen, and managers unsure how to respond.
