Ashley Davis on overcoming adversity

Your mind is stronger than you’ll ever know. You can overcome anything, as long as you put your mind to it.

This week we are talking to Ashley Davis. Ashley works for Papyrus, supporting suicide prevention, with a focus on people under the age of 35. In addition to the incredible work he does, Ashley has faced one of life’s greatest challenges.

When Ashley was 19, one decision changed the course of his life. Following a catastrophic accident, he spent 14 months in the hospital learning how to live again. In this raw and honest conversation, we learn the impact his accident had on his family and Ashley’s experiences with his nurses and medical staff, and not unsurprisingly his mental wellbeing.

We discuss his mental health struggles after leaving the hospital, and his coping mechanisms which include friendship, sport, and family.
