On this week's episode of Candy Apple Advocacy, host Tabby Malliard interviews Ashlie Hurlbutt, a mother of three who homeschools and has a popular TikTok account. Ashlie shares her unexpected motherhood journey which began with fertility struggles, losing one of her newborn twins, and now parenting children with disabilities.
Despite grief and challenges, Ashlie has found creativity and joy in homeschooling her kids. She also uses her TikTok platform to provide support and advocacy around issues like child exploitation in YouTube families.
Join us as Ashlie reflects on the difficult parts of her parenting path while emphasizing the beauty, fun, and light she’s found along the way. Learn about her guiding motto of “winging it and learning as I go” and how it’s helped her become adaptable.
