about

Welcome to Dancing Through Life*, I'm Ashley.

I'm a native Torontonian who went to musical theatre college and ended up with a passion for writing, wellness, and tech. I've been blogging in this space for many years, plus a few years when I thought I should express my inner most feelings on my msn space. (Aren't you glad those are gone?)

Over the years I've covered a wide variety of topics, but these days I'm usually writing about my journey with Crohn's Disease, grief, books, travel and style... Or reality TV if you slide into my Instagram DMs. 

Published at xoJane and Huffington Post.

You can find me on Instagram, Threads and Pinterest - I'd love to keep hanging out with you in other corners of the internet. 

*Why Dancing Through Life?

I felt like the phrase captured my approach to life and also paid homage to the musical, Wicked. Fun fact: it's also why my username on social media is ashleydtl
