Reflecting on her teenage years in America, Sasha shared how the struggle for acceptance led her to shift her identity and distance herself from her Arab roots. She stressed the significance of positive self-talk and how reframing negative thoughts can help combat feelings of inadequacy. Drawing from her own battles with eating disorders, she underscored the transformative power of self-compassion and awareness. By curating her social media to feature uplifting content, she was able to foster a healthier relationship with food and her body, reminding us that “social media isn’t all bad; it depends on how you use it.”
As the interview wrapped up, Sasha encouraged listeners to reconnect with their inner child and embrace what makes them unique, emphasizing that authenticity is the key to true happiness.
