Listen "Felicity Ashley | From Ocean Waves to Cancer Battles: Resilience Through Life's Greatest Challenges"
Episode Synopsis
In this inspiring episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we are joined by Felicity Ashley, a seasoned marketing leader, mother of three, and extraordinary individual who faced incredible challenges with remarkable resilience. Felicity shares the story of her incredible journey rowing across the Atlantic, a feat that tested her physically, mentally, and emotionally, all while unknowingly battling stage 3 bowel cancer.
Throughout our conversation, Felicity discusses how her experiences with ocean rowing and overcoming cancer shaped her approach to leadership and resilience. She shares valuable insights on breaking big challenges into manageable steps, the importance of mindset in overcoming adversity, and the crucial role of support networks in facing life’s toughest moments.
Felicity's story is a testament to the power of a positive mindset and how it can help us push through even the most difficult of times. Her upcoming book, “Stronger than the Storm”, and her latest endeavour, running the Everest Base Camp Marathon, are proof that life’s biggest challenges can become opportunities for growth and transformation.
