In this powerful episode of Becoming Her with Ashley Martin, Ashley welcomes a special guest—her producer, Yusuf—for an open and transparent conversation on the power of words and their lasting impact on men. Together, they explore how communication shapes relationships between women and men, mothers and sons, and even within marriages.

Yusuf shares his deeply personal journey through childhood trauma, marriage, divorce, fatherhood, and healing, revealing how the words spoken to him—both uplifting and damaging—have influenced his life, relationships, and self-worth. With honesty and vulnerability, he highlights the importance of respect, intentional communication, and the courage to ask for help.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that words can build or break, heal or harm—and that no matter what you’ve been through, you are never behind, you are simply becoming.
