Not asking permission: Ashley Sue Bullers' ARMY story

On today’s episode I am fortunate enough to be interviewing an essayist from my latest book project I Am ARMY: We don’t need permission. This book features a collection of essays from ARMY from around the world that share their stories of how they found BTS and who they are. 

Content warning: This episode contains discussions on suicide.

Ashley Sue Bullers is a soul explorer and artist living in the Bangtan Vortex. She created the Bangtan Soul community and Epiphanatics podcast, where she and ARMY explore the intersection of midlife, mental health, and BTS. Her essay, Permission (which inspired the subtitle of the book!), shares the story of how she went from nearly taking her own life to going down a path of self-discovery with BTS and ARMY. You can find Ashley Sue on YouTube @AshleySueBangtanSoul and on Instagram and Twitter @ashleysue.

I Am ARMY: We don’t need permission is out now. You can grab a copy at revoltbooks.com, by ordering through your local indie retailer, as well as Amazon and Book Depository.

You can find me @thebtstheorist on Instagram, as well as @walleaeaglehawk on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.
