In this empowering and uplifting episode, host Celene Beth sits down with Ashley-Lauren Elrod for an expansive, heart-centered conversation on creativity, systemic advocacy, and the power of lived experience.

Celene Beth and Ashley-Lauren celebrate her multi-faceted background—reflecting on her years navigating Hollywood as a working actor, performer, and young entrepreneur, and how those early artistic roots naturally expanded into executive producing, whistleblower advocacy, and intuitive healing. They explore her landmark work at the intersection of media and policy, including her contributions to national campaigns like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and Dove’s The Cost of Beauty.

Ashley-Lauren also shares the inspiration behind her book, Maya’s Magic Word, detailing how this vital resource equips parents, caregivers, and educators with practical tools to teach young children body autonomy, emotional safety, and disclosure. Together, they explore what true survivor-led systemic change looks like when lived experience holds genuine power in shaping prevention, culture, and care.
