Ashley Andrew
Speaker, Author, Presenter
Hey I’m Ashley
One of the first things you’ll see as you cross the border into Scotland are the words ‘Cead Mile Failte’ which means a hundred thousand welcomes.
I love these words because they perfectly sum up how I want to interact with the world around me.
I’m Ashley and I’m passionate about empowering people to find their voice whether that be stepping into their own journey of writing, finding confidence in public speaking or developing their creative skills and projects.
About me
I’m from a wee village in Scotland, 10 miles south west of Glasgow but now live in the Midlands, England.
As a published author, speaker and presenter with eighteen years experience in the creative arts I have enjoyed performing all over the UK and abroad for various companies.
In 2024 I self-published and wrote my first book, ‘A Day Away With God.’ I am currently writing my second book.
I am currently Radio Presenter for the U.K’s leading Christian Radio Station.
When I’m not doing any of those things, you’ll usually find me outdoors walking out on the hills or wild swimming.
Creativity is our superpower
I speak about things like…
Finding your voice
As a professional actor with eighteen years experience touring theatre productions, developing new creative projects and creative facilitating workshops I believe using voice, gifts and talents in creative ways empowers us to have the confidence to be the person we were designed to be. In May 2024 this led to me publishing my first book.
The journey of healing
When I was fifteen years old I was diagnosed with M.E/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. For six years I tried every treatment the doctor recommended but nothing changed. I battled with my mental health and suffered feeling of isolation, depression and suicide.
One night I was taken to a healing meeting and felt the illness come up through my body and out of the top of my head. Since that day of healing, I have never had another symptom.
Empowering the next generation
Over the past 20 years, I’ve walked with young people through teenage pregnancy, self-harm, bullying, depression and suicidal ideation. I’m passionate about equipping youth by providing tools and strategies for organisations and churches to be the answer for the next generation.
Overcoming obstacles
Throughout my life, I’ve walked through a series of traumatic events. Spiritual abuse, divorce & grief have been a part of my story and the journey of healing has been painful and an uphill climb.
Throughout those painful circumstances, I’ve learnt to see God’s goodness and kindness as I’ve gone on a journey of spiritual and emotional growth. I’ve moved from anger, hurt and bitterness to a place of forgiveness and love.
Speaking
Ashley is a sought after keynote speaker, having shared at various churches, conferences & schools across the UK.

What if all you needed was to take a step of faith and find an adventure your heart always longed for?
Jesus said ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’ (Mark 6:31-32)
Jesus invites us to come to Him. Not by going to a Church building. Not by listening to our favourite worship track of the month. Not by listening to our favourite speaker. God’s invitation is simply to come to Him. Throughout the pages of her first book, A Day Away With God, Ashley hopes that you’ll take God’s hand and let Him lead you to discover new ways of finding Him.
