Ep: 32 The Journey Through Grief: Resilience, Motherhood & Finding Light After Loss with Ashleigh Conwell

In this episode of Soul Therapy with Chelle, we open part one of my deeply moving conversation with the luminous Ashleigh Conwell founder of Yellow Falcon, speaker, and mum to triplets, as she shares her lived experience of love, loss, and the ongoing journey of resilience.

What begins as a tender recount of losing her husband while 17 weeks pregnant soon unfolds into a conversation about the paradox of grief and joy, the polarities of birth and death, and how presence both chosen and demanded, shapes the path forward.

We talk about:

• The dual reality of preparing for a new life while grieving an unimaginable loss

• Why resilience is not a checklist but a lifelong practice

• Navigating motherhood through sleep deprivation, grief, and the myth of “doing it all”

• The complex layers of lineage, absence, and the grief our children carry too

• Rituals of remembrance and the courage to set sacred boundaries on milestone days

• The healing power of children’s laughter, love, and perspective

Ashleigh shares with open-hearted vulnerability her story of loss, lineage, and love woven into the everyday moments of nappies, bottles, and bedtime stories. She reminds us that grief is never linear, never finite it ebbs, flows, and asks us to keep showing up.

This is a conversation for anyone navigating the raw edges of grief, the weight of responsibility, or the tender beauty of life’s polarities.

Let this episode be a reminder: even in the heaviest of seasons, light can still pour in through the cracks.
