Sasha Shantel’s Biography
Sasha Shantel is a UK lifestyle writer, editor and digital publisher covering lifestyle, travel, beauty, wellness, fashion, food and dining, culture, personal development and life beyond 40.
She is the founder and editor of SashaShantel.com, an independent UK lifestyle platform recognised by Feedspot as one of the Top 100 UK Lifestyle Blogs. Through the site, Sasha combines personal storytelling, honest reviews, cultural commentary and experience-led journalism, writing about everything from hotels, restaurants and travel destinations to beauty launches, wellness trends, style, self-development and modern womanhood.
Sasha’s editorial career began long before the rise of social media. She founded and edited In-spire LS Magazine, an independent lifestyle publication that showcased emerging talent across music, fashion, entertainment, business and culture. Her work as an editor, interviewer and publisher helped establish her passion for discovering stories, championing interesting people and creating engaging lifestyle content.
Today, her writing is particularly focused on the experiences and conversations shaping women’s lives, including confidence, reinvention, ambition, ageing, wellbeing and navigating life after 40. Her signature editorial content blends relatable personal perspective with practical insight, while her travel, restaurant, beauty and lifestyle reviews are rooted in genuine first-hand experience.
Alongside SashaShantel.com, Sasha is the co-founder of Women Who Slay, a personal development platform created to support women in building confidence, raising their standards and creating meaningful change. She also develops lifestyle content through The Foodie Files and motivational platform It’s Time to Thrive.
Based in London, Sasha is available for freelance editorial commissions, first-person essays, lifestyle features, travel and hotel reviews, restaurant and experience reviews, beauty and wellness features, interviews, opinion pieces and commissioned digital content.
Her aim is simple: to tell engaging, honest stories that help readers discover something new, think differently or feel a little more inspired about the life they are creating.
