The Mother at the Well: Ashley and Sean Grippando

Reentry Reframed

From using together to losing together, Ashley and Sean share their story on this episode with openness and raw honesty in hopes of reaching others. Ashley describes her struggle and ultimate despair stemming from her substance use while pregnant and as a new mother. Ashley and Sean also share their experience navigating the foster care and court system while regaining their sobriety in an effort to be reunited with their young children. For a mother who was filled with tremendous pain, trauma, and loss, not knowing where to turn, Ashley’s path eventually led her back to church. The first service she attended was The Woman at the Well, and aligned so divinely with her own life, she believed this was no coincidence; she was where she was supposed to be. Ashley and Sean, through it all, love each other for better or worse. Today, their happy ending is one you will need to hear for yourselves. For the Grippando Family, we cannot wait to see the joy your future holds!
