In her teenage years, Sasha struggled with deep, dark thoughts, feeling lost and unseen. She bravely opens up about contemplating suicide, writing in her journal about feeling unloved and invisible. One harrowing experience with an abusive partner taught her the importance of boundaries and listening to her gut instincts.
Sasha's journey took a significant turn when she became a mother. She describes the transformation of becoming accountable for another human being, and how it changed her life. Despite societal norms and challenges, Sasha pursued her dream of becoming a mother again focusing on what was possible rather than what was easy and adopted roughly 18 months ago. Sasha faced the challenges of adoption head-on without rose-tinted glasses. The first three months were incredibly tough, but she remained steadfast, even while grappling with impatience and single parenthood.
Sasha's story is a powerful reminder that we can be who we want and where there is a will there is a way. Her learnings are resilience and determination can help overcome even the toughest of life's challenges.
