In this episode of The Practice of Love Podcast, Ashley and Lair open up about Lair’s recent surf accident—an experience that brought fear, PTSD, shame, and deep vulnerability to the surface. They reflect on the tension between joy and fear, the subconscious beliefs that can make happiness feel unsafe, and how they navigated this crisis together in the midst of an already intense life transition. Through honesty and reflection, they explore the complexities of trauma, resilience, and the practice of love in the face of unexpected challenges.
