Unlocking Your True Self: A Conversation with Mindset Coach Sasha Greenridge

Welcome back to "When Not Yet Becomes Right Now," the podcast where we dive deep into those pivotal moments of transformation that shift our lives. I'm your host, Jen Ginty, and I created this space because I realized my own journey of healing from childhood trauma wasn't unique. There are countless stories out there about navigating life's challenges and finding our "right now".

In this inspiring episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with mindset coach Sasha Greenridge about her incredible journey of self-discovery and transformation. Sasha's story resonates deeply with the core themes of our podcast, highlighting how acknowledging our "not yet" moments can lead us to powerful personal growth.

Sasha openly shared her experiences growing up in a culturally strict environment and the challenges she faced with people-pleasing tendencies that often stem from childhood experiences and cultural expectations. This struggle is something many of us can relate to, as societal and familial pressures can significantly shape our identity and self-worth. Sasha emphasized the crucial role of setting boundaries as essential for maintaining healthy relationships and self-respect.

Her journey took a significant turn at the age of 35, a true "right now" moment for her, where she began to actively engage in self-discovery, a continuous journey that requires introspection and honesty. This pivotal point led her to explore Gene Keys, a system that has been instrumental in helping her and her clients understand their true selves and potential. As Sasha explained, understanding one's public role can be incredibly beneficial in both personal and professional growth.
