For more than five years now, Ashley has been sharing her own journey of hope as well as giving others a platform to share their own stories of recovery. The episodes are both informative and entertaining.

Excellent content, flow, and recording quality.

Recently, I was a guest on the Courage to Change with Ashley. It was an incredible interview. Ashley was knowledgeable about the topic: Traumatic Brain Injury, Addiction and Chronic Pain. As a mother whose son suffered from all of these, it is a rare person who understands the impact of TBI on the person and on the family. I felt she got it. She is bright, empathic and a great listener. I felt validated by our conversation. I’m hopeful others feel as blessed as they listen to this podcast on grief, TBI, addiction and resilience.

Ashley, thank you for creating "The Courage to Change." Your podcast is a beacon of hope and resilience. Each episode is filled with raw, honest stories and invaluable insights that truly inspire and empower listeners. Your dedication to supporting the recovery community and addressing the complexities of addiction and personal growth is remarkable. I appreciate how you tackle tough topics with empathy and authenticity, providing a safe space for guests to share their journeys. Your episodes are a testament to the power of change and the importance of community in the recovery process. Keep up the incredible work, Ashley. Your podcast is making a profound impact on so many lives!

I love Ashley’s real, raw, and inspiring interviews and show! Such a powerful podcast!

Courage to change and your powerful example of living a balanced sober life in business (recovery) and personal life is very much appreciated by me and the people I share this podcast with…. Keep it coming girl!

Ashley is a natural talker, and her story is pretty remarkable. I love the rawness and realness of this podcast. If you’re looking for an honest peek in to what addiction and recovery Really look like; listen to this podcast.

Ashley is awesome, has great guests, and isn’t afraid to get into what alcoholism and addiction really looks like. Keep of the great work!

Love listening to these interview style pitches. It’s so relatable and I get sucked in to the point that I almost can’t multitask. Thanks for keeping this going on your own! You can do it!

One of my TOP three favorite podcasts. The host is so knowledgeable and I love her approach to various (very serious) topics. She makes it easier to understand and relate to people with addiction issues. I’ve learned something new every single time I’ve listened to her podcast.

So grateful to hear your voice this morning and can’t wait to hear what you have in store for us this season. Your stories and interviews of healing and strength have been so helpful. Love this podcast.

You selling out your company screwed many of your clinicians and so many clients who lost access. you were a money, grabbing organization that sold to the highest bitter while messing up people in recovery.

I happened upon this podcast a year ago in search of help on how to navigate and support my son who was just about to complete 30 days of inpatient recovery. I was desperate, I knew he wasn’t ready to come home. I clicked on the courage to change and listened, at the end of the show, Ashley says, reach out to me I will answer… here’s my email. I thought to myself, ya right… but like I said I was desperate. I sent her an email and within the hour she had responded. I was shocked!! I have been listening ever since. I have learned so much about addiction from the many stories and conversations. It has helped me navigate through all the chaos, so I can better support and help my son. It has given me a better understanding of my son and myself. Ashley has been a true light in my life. I am forever grateful for the podcast, and her caring heart.

This show is amazing. I have a loved one whose substance abuse has led me to seek learning and healing. Ashley and her producers bring it with topics and the guests and their stores are so incredibly inspiring. Do yourself a favor and work your way through the episodes. You’ll be so glad you did!

Ashley is an amazing interviewer and she gets such great guests! I especially appreciate the practical solutions. Keep up the great work!!

Excellent quality and fantastic guests. This show is top notch. Ashley is a fantastic host.

My kids having my disease terrifies me. The interview drew me in. Amazing podcast.

Thank you for your service. This podcast has been so helpful in my recovery.

Thank you for all of your great guest! I’m new at listening to this one, and I really really like it

Highlight of my week is listening to the latest podcast. I learn so much as a former alcoholic and keeps me in check as I am surrounded by addiction in my family. This is my sober community!

I love your podcast. I really resonated with the Mom Wine Culture Episode. Thank you!

The Courage to Change podcast is one of the best podcasts out there to date. I’ve been listening since day one, episode one, and I absolutely cannot believe it has taken me this long to leave a review. The 3 ladies are amazing and I either laugh or cry everytime. This podcast is very informative and i have made a few other people to start listening. Thank you ALB for a great emotional outlet and an even greater recovery podcast. Bring on more seasons!!

I am SO INSPIRED by The Courage to Change Podcast! Ashley is an amazing host, the guests are authentic and encouraging (especially loved the episode featuring Charlie Gray!) and I am always renewed after listening! Thank you so much!

I want to start out by saying how much I appreciate this podcast. It has been an extremely helpful resource during early my recovery from alcohol and I recommend it and Lionrock meetings to my patients all the time. However, I think the interviewee in this episode may have unintentionally said some misleading things. As a therapist at a medication assisted treatment center for individuals with opioid use disorders, I felt I should say that it is not inherently dangerous to withdraw from methadone. There is so much stigma against medication assisted treatment, so I felt obligated to say something because of the lives I see it save and change in a daily basis. I strongly encourage anyone who has not been able to achieve sobriety from opiates on their own to consider this as an option. Methadone is very safe and effective for many people.

Love the diversity of paths to recovery this podcast showcases! I’ve listened to five episodes and have deeply related and/or learned from every one. Super grateful for this!!

I love these. They are all heartfelt, and I fell less alone in the world knowing other people go through the same things I do, as a person finding success in recovery.

Amazing! Topics are so authentic and inspiring. I always feel great after listening to even the toughest of stories from Courage to Change because of the community of support built around.

Inspiring podcast! Ashely packs every episode with tons of amazing content, guests, and interviews that will motivate, uplift and inspire you. I highly recommend!

Whether you are new to recovery, in long-term recovery, have a friend or family member in recovery, or are just struggling with life and want to know you’re not alone; this podcast is amazing! Ashley does a phenomenal job engaging her guests and discussing the tough stuff we go through in life. I eagerly anticipate the launch of new episodes. This show is definitely worth the listen!

I look forward to being able to listen to each new episode. There is something I can relate to and learn every time I click play. Thanks for putting this together for the Recovery community.

Ashley does an amazing job captivating listeners on this podcast! It’s so nice to hear positive messages of recovery and support. Having lost a family member to addiction, these positive messages couldn’t be more appreciated.

This podcast is a game changer if you are looking to hear from real people who have overcome incredible hardships. Not only is Ashley an excellent host with thoughtful questions and banter with her guests, but the topics have a broad range. Can’t stop listening!

This is an amazing podcast and unique even to field of recovery. What makes it special is the genuine interest that it’s host, Ashley, has in those brave enough to show up and share their story. As deeply moving as it is there’s a light hearted wit present that makes the show as entertaining as it is cathartic. This isn’t a podcast about addiction as much as it is a show about redemption, hope and self discovery. I’ve never been able to get into podcasts as I’m such a visual learner but there’s enough energy here for me to vividly picture the details shared in my minds eye. I highly recommend anyone attempting to develop, heal and have fun to check it out. I always walk away with something for my time.

As a wife of a recovering alcoholic, I greatly appreciate hearing so many stories of those whose lives have been affected by addiction. Thank you for sharing your hardships and victories to inspire others to make a change, or continue fighting the fight of sobriety! One more platform to educate and include anyone willing to learn about this global crisis and I am forever grateful.

I just really appreciate the tenacity of the host and speakers of this podcast to discuss out loud and candidly how our society’s social “norms” and other factors negatively affected them in their development and what they are doing one day at a time to challenge those irrational social norms by recovering one day at a time from addictions and other mental health issues. Not only are these speakers recovering, they are working diligently to try and challenge what’s wrong with our society and how we can fix it starting first and foremost by bettering themselves. Well done and I can’t help but admire the honesty and vulnerability these speakers demonstrate!

This podcast is an absolute vessel of support. As an individual who deals with his own set of vices, it provides a sense of relief to know there are others who share the same experiences. I am moved by each and every testimonial. It is a constant token of reassurance that lets the audience know: we are not alone in this journey!

Not only is this podcast inspiring and motivational, but it’s also so entertaining! This is a great find for anyone in recovery or have family members in recovery!

This podcast has been eye opening & heartwarming to listen to! Hearing so many people being vulnerable and share their stories has awoken courage within me. Everyone has a story to share & being able to experience others’ truths and testimony about such sensitive topics, is empowering! If you are looking to find your courage, or hear about people’s roads to redemption, The Courage to Change is the podcast for you!

This podcast is real, honest, raw. Recovery is such a personal journey and Ashley does an amazing job of inspiring others to not give up by sharing her story and that of others. You can enjoy listening even if you’re not in recovery yourself – there’s a ton of great information along with a lot of laughter and tears.

Everyone is in recovery from something. This podcast shows many people's journey's who have overcome an obstacle and challenge in their life! It is inspiring, a boost of motivation, and a shot of hope. Whether you are in recovery, only considering it, or love someone with an addiction, this podcast is for you.

Always inspiring.

I usually only write reviews for the fortune and fame, but this podcast is actually legit. Everyone should listen to it and give it a try, it’s awesome.

I’m so grateful to have this podcast. I’ve been following for a while and love the wide variety of recovery topics that are covered. At a time when meetings are closed, this podcast has saved me! It has been a huge tool in helping me feel connected to others in recovery and has brought some much needed inspiration and gratitude to daily life. Thank you for all you do to reach so many people!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this recovery podcast! It’s captivating, inspirational, and at times down right funny! There have been episodes when I have literally laughed out loud, and others when I have cried. Do yourself a favor and listen!

The Courage to Change podcast is something that everyone in recovery should put on their playlist. Inspirational content and it gives hope that recovery is possible!

Wow! Let me say it again, Wow! These podcasts starting with host Ashley Loeb Blassingame’s frank, tough, authentic, inspiring come out of the black hole realness of her own story in Episode 1 starts the absolute wont of binge listening through this series. Why? Because you get drawn in by listening to the real struggles of addiction - from all walks of life and backgrounds to then coming out the other side. Make no mistake, you also hear of some family members or friends of these guests who didn’t make it back and the searing rawness of it all makes you keep coming back for more. Highly recommend listening to these episodes and like me you’ll want to share as well after you listen. Well done!

I look forward to hearing each new episode due to the amazing content and recovery related hope. I have shared this with friends, family and clients. I love Ashley’s sense of humor and her connection to her guests. I encourage anyone to listen even if you do not struggle with addiction because these topics can hit home for many.

Powerful and inspirational accounts of addiction and recovery. Instills hope and encouragement to those contemplating sobriety, in early recovery, or those in long term recovery. This is a great resource for families who have a loved one experiencing addiction or individuals who are interested in learning about addiction. Gives insight, understanding, and real life experiences of those who have both experienced and overcome addiction.

This is your next binge-worthy podcast! Articulate and captivating. Ashley’s interviews with people who have encountered (and overcome) life-altering circumstances such as COVID-19, addiction, and trauma are truly inspiring. Recovery stories in all shapes forms beyond your wildest dreams.

After years of horror I love that you r real I always am too. Who wants Benny Hin. These freaks want to swipe to make something real. Y’all keep it
