#450: When Doctors Gave Up, She Didn’t—Ashleigh Di Lello’s Healing Revolution

In this episode, Mark sits down with Ashleigh Di Lello for a jaw-dropping conversation about the power of the nervous system, the mind-body connection, and what it really takes to heal from the inside out. Ashleigh shares her extraordinary journey—from being told she wouldn’t live past her teens, to becoming a world-class dancer, to fighting through chronic pain and nearly losing her life again. What brought her back wasn’t medicine—it was rewiring her brain, facing unresolved trauma, and stepping into radical self-trust. We explore how the stories we’re told (and tell ourselves) shape our biology, and how healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about learning to work with your nervous system, not against it. This one is raw, inspiring, and a masterclass in turning pain into purpose. Ashleigh Di Lello is the founder and creator of Bio Emotional Healing®, a revolutionary method based in neuroscience that helps her clients around the world finally break free from emotional trauma, limiting beliefs, anxiety, and the effects of chronic pain and illness. Despite being told by doctors she wouldn't live past her teenage years, she refused to give up and discovered the secret to rewiring the brain-body connection. She became an elite athlete, TV & Broadway star, entrepreneur, Brain Coach, and keynote speaker.
