  Your Life Right Now Is Not Your Final Life

  Sep 5, 20261 hourS6

  Ashley Ortiz became a mom at 19 and graduated high school with her three-month-old daughter in the audience. She became a single mom, survived an abusive relationship while pregnant with her second child, rebuilt her life, created a blended family, and eventually helped build a seven-figure family painting business. But this isn’t a conversation about pretending the hard parts were necessary to become successful. Ashley joins Tia Lilley for the return of Season 6 of The Torch Mom Podcast to talk honestly about young motherhood, leaving an abusive relationship, raising teenagers, breaking cycles through honesty with her children, marriage, building a business while her kids grew up alongside it, being a woman in a male-populated industry, and realizing that sometimes the person underestimating you is you . She also shares the five-minute conversation that helped change the direction of her career, why she tells her teenagers to call her even when they’ve messed up, the guilt she carried while building the family business, and the moment one of her children finally understood what all those late nights had been for. For the mom who can’t see past what she’s going through right now, this conversation is a reminder: Right now isn’t forever. ️ Follow The Torch Mom Podcast wherever you listen.
