Ashley Cain: Everything Losing My Daughter Taught Me
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Ashley Cain is a former professional footballer and TV personality. In 2020, his 8-week-old daughter Azaylia Cain was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia. During Azaylia’s battle with cancer, Ashley and Azaylia’s mum, Safiyya, raised over £1 million in 24 hours for her health care. After her death in April 2021, at just 8 months old, Ashley and Safiyya set up ‘The Azaylia Foundation’, which supports families and provides memorable experiences for children fighting cancer.
In this episode, Ashley shares with Jake and Damian everything the life and loss of Azaylia has taught him. They discuss how the struggle can make us appreciate the small moments, staying present and connected to those in our life. Ashley shares how “even though my heart is broken into a million pieces, that’s a million pieces of love I can share with others in this world”.

Having heard Ashley speak before I know this is going to be a tough listen, an enlightening listen, and a message to learn from.
This man inspire me alot
One of the strongest geezas I know, I legit cant fathom how it feels to try for a baby, mother becomes pregnant, has the baby for 9 months in her stomach, give birth, then lose the baby. Wow man. Stay strong my guy Ashley.
This guy is the benchmark. No words.
This is the most powerful episode in this channel. At a loss for words to describe the waves of emotion listening to him speak about his challenges.
Respect to this man. The way he described giving love to others is so heartbreaking and beautiful. ❤
I'm an avid listener to this podcast and this was the best episode yet. Genuinely had me in tears on my drive to work, I honestly don't know what problems I have anymore. Much love to Ashley and his family.
This man is a true Don! Hugely inspiring man
Listened to this on my way home from work. Thought this was so hard to listen to but as you said about the book a great listen/ read.
Really resonate with Ashley about his mind set of in tough times you have to meet it head on. Lost my mum to cancer in 2021 and ran 100 miles in under 24 hours for charity. Raised a good amount.
Using that mindset of “tough times don’t last, tough people do”, really helped me through the grief. Having that underlying purpose is so unique and powerful it’s unmatched. We can do anything we think of with that mindset.
His purpose is greater than mine was. I obviously heard what was happening to them as a family at the time and thought it was unbelievably sad; however driving home now to my 7 week old son hits me differently.
Wish you all the fortune and success you can think of. Keep at it 💪🏼
After watching that I feel two things are for sure, 1. That man will make a huge positive difference to the world for as long as he is on it 2. He will be with his daughter again, keeping that faith is what drives us and it’s hugely powerful.
Ashley, the way out of this is to have purpose and goals 24/7
That is the best definition of HP yet!
I’m speechless…. ❤❤❤
This was heartbreaking to listen to . What a remarkable man living through every parent’s worst nightmare. I am 100% sure that when the time is right he will be reunited with his beautiful daughter ❤
Well done Ashley you are so inspirational and that is so special mate and what your doing is truly amazing you are strong you are powerful you are you ❤
Ashley mate, I doubt you’ll read the comments but on the off chance you do I am so so sorry for what you’ve gone, are are continuing to go through. I hope you can take a morsel of comfort knowing that your little girl isn’t suffering any more. I genuinely wish you and your missus all the best for the future ❤
You grow through what you go through he’s proof 🤝
Such a strong guy, through such pain. Very inspirational person. Great podcast as always 👏👏👍👍
A truly inspiring man! Makes me want to get up from desk at work and cuddle my children!!! Every minute counts!
This lad and his family have been through alot , cant image the pain he feels inside..... People who moan and groan about trivial sh*t should listen to this and puts things in to perspective, never take things for granted and be thankful for what you have.... massive respect for this man listening to this
what a lovely man
So much respect for the man. So brave
I’ve been subscribed to this channel for a while and to be honest I don’t know why - avoid most of the videos - half listened to some episodes but this episode gripped me from the start to finish! I love the way he showcases mental resilience and fortitude by trying death defying challenges! Truly inspirational and the definition of high performance! Thank you Jake (shout out Bamzooki) and Damian for this one!
I remember Ashley from reality shows back in the day. Sadly just like me it took grief to grow and mature as a person. All the best Ashley 🙏🏻
God why life is so cruel just hearbreaking rip little one 🙏🙏
Hard to stop the tears rolling down my face watching this. My heart goes out to Ashley and Safiyya and all their family for everything they have been through. I wish him all the love for whatever the future will bring, x
Following Ashley’s journey, this is the best podcast. Always 🙏❤️❤️❤️
How can anyone say this man is not sincere???
So much for respect for this man.. god bless his daughter, absolute love for that little girl
Long time listener, first time watcher on TH-cam.
My word.
I came to see the conversation between Ashley and Damian at the end, and I cried again. It was pleasing to see that it didn't look as uncomfortable as it felt, and ended really well.
I honestly feel like this was the one.
Amazing man touched so many hearts i lost my son mark so i know what that couple feel but you ashley inspire me more to keep the faith it plays a big part in it God he is always loving us especially thru the hardest times nothing hurts more than losing our precious children was never meant to be this way to go ashley keep fighting the good fight God bless u and your wife God bless 🙏💔🇨🇮❤❤❤
I live 5 mins from this guy and he is the real deal 💪 lets go champ!!
You are truly inspirational, the strength and courage is a true testament of the father you are, and what would’ve been.
I’ve cried throughout this podcast.
The way you tell your story is mind blowing.
Continue to keep your baby girls memory alive and continue doing all the wonderful work for other!
You certainly put life and insignificant worries in perspective.
One in a million!!!
Words really aren’t enough..
Real life superman 🙏🏼
Such a powerful podcast, and as a father of two girls, I can not imagine the pain he and his family went through. ♥️
Ashley and Safiyya my thoughts are with you both. The fight seams endless, the disappointments are relentless, the end is momentous. Your memories will soften and joy will take over. You both did all that was possible, and Azaylia knew you loved her, and that is the best feeling anyone can ever have. James Tucker. Siobhans Trust. Feeding Ukraine. Wendy 1948-2009
Amazing interview
Wow what a man ❤
Let's go champ 🦁
I’m not going to subscribe, sorry. But you two fellas are lovely and that chat with Ashley Cain, just wow. I was in tears majority of it but unless your heart is made of stone, Ashley’s chat about his beautiful little girl is just heartbreaking. And I do understand what Ashley meant by there was always hope, I was the same with my mum when she was passing. Until it happens you hang on to hope. Good luck Ashley on your trip of a life time. I pray you’ll return safely. 🧡🦁
Powerful podcast keep going champ 🦁 🧡
Iv seen many podcasts on many people but this one was the hardest to watch.1h29m in i had to stop play stop play stop play..😢😢😢
I am so sorry to here you actually saying but you and your partner are so brave ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was gut wrenching 😢, had to pause from time to time coz it had me emotional 😭. I truly wish him more strength… that being said @1:50:00 it felt like, my gut feeling was Mmmhh 🤔 is he thinking about ending it. At least for me that’s how it felt and after that he got a bit defensive, I really hope he goes for some help/therapy to help him through his grieving process 🙏🏾. Great lad …
Ash isn't ending things, this man ain't going anywhere. Don't buy his crap, he is using his dead daughters name for money and to stay relevant.
So sad heartbreaking pray he becomes a Muslims finds outer and inner peace
I don't understand why you cut this episode by over 30 mins for the Spotify version. Some of what you cut was amazing stuff
🙏🏽💪🏽
💔
😢😢
Grief is private. Your grief is no greater or less than any other. Shut it down in public. Wishing you strength and serenity on your PRIVATE grief journey.
This is the first episode of high performance I’ve listen to coming purely for Ashley and ngl I think these guys have been the worst at interviewing him I’ve seen! He’s spoken of the racism he’s raced in childhood in his book and you go straight in saying talking about his testicle being the worst thing to happen to him at that point in life. I just feel like that was in bad taste to begin with and can tell Ashley thought so too! Then just brining up awkward things can tell they’ve not done research and listened to his other stuff where he talks about his s opinion on getting counciling and things like that the episode was good cos i love this man’s story but these two were just annoying ngl
Never heard of him, who is he?
Can't
Way too self obsessed to take any sincerity from this podcast. All the best for the future.
Lifestyle since the inception of the charity is certainly suspect.
