For Ashley, Plant Therapy’s Director of Supply Chain, her mom Anne isn’t just a parent—she’s a travel companion, a safe haven, a built-in best friend. She's also a shining example of resilience, kindness, support, and selflessness. And this Mother’s Day, Ashley is celebrating the woman who’s been her guiding light through every twist and turn of life’s journey.
Whether they were braving ghost tours in Georgia, road-tripping to Yellowstone, or sitting front row at Saturday Night Live, Anne has always said yes to adventure. But it’s not just the big trips that stick in Ashley’s memory—it’s also the quiet moments: trying a new restaurant together or discovering a hidden gem close to home. Anne has a way of turning everyday experiences into unforgettable memories.
One of Ashley’s favorite adventures was a spur-of-the-moment mother-daughter day at Disneyland. While Ashley was in California for work, Anne flew in to join her—and for one magical day, they became kids again. They raced from ride to ride, shared every treat they could find, and screamed their way through every roller coaster. Even the teacups (which Ashley swore she’d never ride again) couldn’t ruin the moment—because being together made it all worth it. They stayed until the park closed, their feet aching but their hearts full.
That’s what Anne does best: she makes the most of every moment.
Anne’s life hasn’t always been easy—raising Ashley and her sister as a single mom came with its challenges—but she handled every one with grace. She taught her daughters what it means to be strong, to lead with kindness, and to live with integrity. Her sacrifices, her wisdom, and her unwavering love shaped the women they’ve become today.
“I consider myself lucky every day that she’s my mom,” Ashley says. “If I become even a fraction as strong, kind-hearted, and caring as she is, I’ll be proud of who I’ve become.”
And while Anne has always given so much to others, Ashley is excited to pamper her this Mother’s Day with gifts that reflect that same love and care. Her picks? The Castor Body Oil Roll-On and Turmeric Supplements to support her mom’s wellness journey, Evoke Body Oil and Hydrating Facial Cream for those rare moments of self-care, and the Pomegranate Glow Candle to create a cozy, calming space. But perhaps the gift Ashley is most excited about is the Deodorizing Carpet Refresher—a subtle way to say “I see you” to the dog-loving, animal-snuggling heart of their home. “Our pets are part of the family, and this powder keeps our spaces fresh and safe for our furry friends.”
Ashley and Anne’s story reminds us that motherhood is about more than caretaking—it’s about showing up, being present, and embracing the little joys along the way. It’s about laughter that lasts for hours, the comfort of knowing someone always has your back, and the power of shared memories to bring you closer, no matter where life takes you.
Happy Mother’s Day, Anne. Thank you for showing the world what love, adventure, and strength truly look like.
