What happens when your life splits in two more than once?

Ash Perrow was a schoolteacher with a plan and a future he could see clearly. Then he held his stillborn daughter in his arms. That moment shattered everything. Years of survival, anxiety, and silence followed. Then a near-death experience cracked him open in a way nothing else ever had. And in that space beyond his body, he made a choice that changed his life.

• The ripple effect of grief, perfectionism, and a body stuck in survival
• What somatic therapy, plant medicine, and radical self-love can unlock
• How a near-death experience revealed a calling to live from the heart

Ash's story is a raw and beautiful reminder that healing is not linear, and it is never too late to wake up.

Guest Bio

Ash Perrow is a coach, speaker, and storyteller who helps heart-centered professionals reconnect with their deeper wisdom and live from the truth of who they are. After the stillbirth of his daughter and a near-death experience following back surgery, Ash returned to life with a clear contract: to stay for the work he does and walk the planet from his heart. That moment became a second beginning, one that unraveled everything he thought he knew about purpose, identity, and healing.

Through somatic therapy, spiritual exploration, and his own relentless curiosity, Ash rebuilt his life from the inside out. Now, he guides others through that same kind of transformation with grounded compassion and deep respect for their inner knowing. His work takes shape through coaching, workshops, group programs, and powerful storytelling that reminds us we are never alone in our becoming.
