We grow up with an idealistic , romanticized view of ballerinas, but Lo is taking you backstage with Lucy Ashe to spill some tea. Lucy Ashe trained at The Royal Ballet School for 8 years. She has a diploma in Dance Teaching with the British Ballet Organization. She is a former professional dancer and best selling author who has taken the literary world by storm with her unsettling thriller Clara $ Olivia: The Dance Of The Dolls, a clever glimpse into the world of ballet. Her newest novel "The Sleeping Beauties" was just released. Lo speaks to her about the creative process, writer's block and the up's and down's of industry rejection turning into success. She speaks candidly with Lo about the difficulties she experienced with her mental health and body image living life as a dancer. She is insightful, vulnerable, honest and remains grounded which makes for a great convo that will take you into a world Lo is so curious about. From tutu's to Dance Mom's and The Nutcracker...you won't be disappointed with this one boo! Stay Connected to The Lo Life!
