________________________________________

Sally Asling is an inspiring mumpreneur, author, speaker and founder of teen awareness campaign EsteeN.

Having graduated with an Honours degree in Drama and Combined Studies, Sally spent several years working in corporate life before deciding to set up her own business and create a better work/life balance for family.

Sally’s inspiration to write her first book Appreciating Angels: Sarah’s Story came from meeting a brave woman called Sarah. Sarah was a shining example of someone who had battled unbelievable adversity as a young teen, but felt unable to tell her story personally because of the effect it would have on the people involved in her life.

Having battled with eating disorders herself, Sally was so moved by what Sarah told her about her life and wanted to help her share her story with the world. ‘Appreciating Angels: Sarah’s Story’ was published in May 2010.

Appreciating Angels: Sarah’s Story is a harrowing, yet heart-warming true story of Sarah’s life, transitioning from an adolescent teen to a young woman. Sarah’s experiences of rape, drug abuse, self harming, anorexia and bulimia give insight into how the world can look to someone suffering from these terrible afflictions and is written in the hope of preventing others from going down the same route that Sarah did.

Sally believes that through telling Sarah’s story, she is able to remind to us all that challenges are placed in our paths to help us grow and evolve. Along the way, if we listen and pay attention, we are never far from guides and angels and true love.

Sally passionately believes in spreading the messages contained in her book and has launched a nationwide schools programme to help educate teenage girls on dealing with issues such as rape, drugs, alcohol and self esteem. She runs these workshops to help others and especially teens understand the issue’s that can arise though keeping secrets and to help young girls grow and improve self esteem which Sally fundamentally believes was the crux of own eating disorder and teen depression.

Sallys has also recently launched the EsteeN campaign to help raise awareness of the importance of PSHE education in school and to encourage the government to make such classes compulsory.
