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. And then, slowly and imperfectly, she began to choose herself. In this episode, Sacha opens up about what self-sabotage actually looks like from the inside and what it finally took to recognize the patterns she had been living, how grief unravels everything we think we know about ourselves and the unexpected gifts it can leave behind, and why humor has been one of her most powerful tools for opening doors that shame tends to keep firmly closed. If you have ever found yourself somewhere in the middle of a messy, unfinished chapter and wondered if you will ever find your way through — this conversation is your reminder that you will. ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign leslie@herextraordinarylifebydesign.com ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I've been sitting on an idea for how to create a space where women can finally show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something.
