Today on the podcast I’m welcoming Diana Ashworth. A native to Georgia, she serves many roles for LifeChangers Legacy, as well as serves as an intake coordinator for the National Incarceration Association, advocating for those who are incarcerated. She also coaches others to move through their pain, having experienced much pain at multiple points in her own life. In this episode you’ll learn how she’s moved through literal “paralyzing” circumstances, from childhood trauma to waking up from brain surgery and discovering a massive stroke had suddenly left her paralyzed from the waist down. Understand what it was like to endure such experiences and how she’s been able to move through the pain and ultimately thrive while serving others!

I got connected to Diana through Pamela Hillman at LifeChangers Legacy. If you remember, Pamela shared her own story and how she ultimately founded the organization in episode #9 “Abuse, Addiction, & Mentoring Inside Prisons With Pamela Hillman | LifeChangers Legacy”. It’s a joy and honor to hear another perspective of LifeChanger’s Legacy through Diana’s own story of beginning as a volunteer mentor to now serving the organization in many capacities.
Topics covered in this episode:
- Hear how finding her grandfather lifeless one day after elementary school caused childhood trauma and subsequent mental health issues, and how she’s coped with that experience.
- Hear Diana’s story of enduring rare and significant brain conditions, and how she suddenly became paralyzed from the waist down.
- Come to learn how she’s been able to move through the pain she’s experienced and ultimately live a thriving life of service to others!
It was an honor to hear Diana’s story, and I hope it inspires you today! Thank you, Diana, for your vulnerability and allowing purpose to flow from your pain.
