In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode, Ashley and Corey open up about one of the most painful chapters of their lives — the loss of Corey’s mother, Amy, on January 9th, 2017.

Born on March of 1961, Amy was an aquamarine — calm, courageous, emotionally grounding, and the kind of woman who brought everyone together. She was the “family stone,” the anchor that held the heart of the family steady. And losing her changed everything.

For the first time, Corey shares:

• What it felt like to lose his mom too soon

• The experience that cost him the chance to say goodbye

• The quiet depression that followed her passing

• Childhood stories that show her humor, warmth, and presence

• How grief reshaped him as a son, a father, and a man

• Why losing a parent in your 30s hits differently

• How to heal when the glue of your family disappears

Ashley and Corey also offer guidance for anyone navigating grief:

✨ How to support someone who is grieving

✨ What not to say

✨ Healthy ways to process loss

✨ Why timelines don’t exist in healing

✨ How to honor a loved one without being consumed by the pain

✨ And how to rebuild yourself when a foundational piece of your world is gone

This episode is raw, real, emotional, vulnerable — and ultimately, incredibly healing.

If you’ve ever lost a parent, a grandparent, or the person who held your family together, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone… and that love doesn’t end when a life does.

This one is for the family stones — the people who hold us together, protect us, shape us, and stay with us long after they’re gone.

When did “fun” turn into “productivity”?

Why does every adult hobby somehow end up on Etsy, TikTok, or someone’s business plan?

In this episode, Ashley and Corey take a hilarious, honest, and surprisingly emotional look at why adulthood has turned joy into work — and why we’re all too exhausted to just play anymore.

They break down hustle culture, mental burnout, the pressure to monetize creativity, and the grief of losing the carefree parts of yourself along the way.

But more importantly… they remind you that you deserve hobbies that feed your soul — not your bank account.

This episode will make you laugh, think, and maybe even reclaim a hobby you forgot you loved.

From career confusion to emotional burnout to redefining what happiness actually looks like, this conversation is raw, relatable, and deeply validating. If you’ve ever questioned who you are or where you’re going, this episode will make you feel seen.
