Summary
Join Leslie Gaudet and Sacha Hughes, author and storyteller, for a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about what it truly looks like to find your way back to yourself after life has taken you completely apart. Sacha's journey is not a polished success story. It is something far more real. After losing her mother, navigating a high-pressure career in London recruitment, divorce, and single parenting, she spent years lost in grief, self-sabotage, and the desperate search for love in all the wrong places.
