From Self Destruct to Finding my Happy Pace...

Who am I?
No one ever told me what was happening in my head, I call it the scribble. It's that never ending story that is messy and sometimes mean and dark.
I've dealt with it by eating my problems away to barely eating anything at all. I've used my body in hateful and harmful ways to achieve success or numbness.
My name is Ashley - I'm a Tedx Speaker, a Life Coach, an 2x Ironman Triathlete, a Youth speaker, an Activist for mental health, a Mentor and the Founder and CE-sOle of Sole Girls.
Everyone needs a bit more support. I love empowering people to empower themselves! We all struggle with mental barriers that we have created between ourselves and success. My passion is lead you to an authentic healthy lifestyle including a positive relationship with physical activity.
I am passionate about breaking down the sigma of mental health. We all have minds - therefore we all have mental health... and it needs to be taken care of!
I have been nominated for the Vancouver Notable Awards 2014, Small Business Community Impact Award 2014 (Sole Girls), received a North Vancouver District Certificate of Appreciation 2014 for my work with girls .
The Globe and Mail named me Top 10 Most Promising Entrepreneurs 2013. I was also made Top 20 in 2015 Canada Emerging Innovators from American Express and Ashoka and in 2016 IMPACT Magazine named me top 5 motivators in Canada! And most recently I was named "Most Inspiring Coach" in North America by Brooks Running. I've also been in media a few times - check it out: In the Media.
