The Sisterhood....In Session

With Felicity Ashley.....Motivational Speaker.....Author Of 'Stronger Than The Storm’

Sarah Ridge Season 1 Episode 97

Mother of three Felicity Ashley became one of fewer than 250 women to row an ocean – an achievement made even more extraordinary by the fact she did it while unknowingly battling bowel cancer.


After 20 years leading a marketing team, she joined a crew of four working mums - they named themselves The Mothership. On returning, she was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer. This was the catalyst for positive change and after her treatment she left her corporate role to become a professional speaker - to give her a platform to share her story to inspire others and help other people facing challenges or adversity.


Seeing the impact she has on audiences as a speaker she was inspired to write ‘Stronger Than The Storm’ - a memoire style account of her journey and lessons learned.


Her story has been featured across major media platforms, including BBC News and Sport, Lorraine, The Telegraph, and Woman & Home.


In May 2025, to mark the third anniversary of her diagnosis, she completed the world’s highest marathon at Everest Base Camp. 


She wants to continue to inspire audiences and readers to dream big, overcome challenges and thrive through change.W


Watch this space for my 4-year and 5-year milestone adventures! 


She lives near Oxford with her husband, Paul, and their children, Sam, Ben, and Grace.
