Polish the soul

Welcome to Polish The Soul! I'm Sasha, the creator behind this space. In 2019, I embarked on a journey through words, sharing my spiritual awakening and life lessons on this very blog. However, come 2021, I found myself grappling with discontent and disconnection from my writing.

Fast forward almost three years, and a surge of creativity is coursing through my energy centers. An inspired thought took root – and when I say inspired, I mean God placed the idea in my mind. He asked me to create this space to be of service, to help uplift others and leave the world a little brighter than I found it. Though I've faced imposter syndrome many times, this column feels different; I feel strong and confident that it will do great things for all the souls having human experiences, just like me. It took me a long time to feel capable enough to share and help teach others this deeper discovery of the universe and the human experience. When I was a little girl, I yearned to be a teacher, but as I entered college, I realized I did not have the patience to be an academic teacher. However, I had an 'aha' moment and realized I am supposed to be a teacher, but not in a traditional sense, more in a spiritual sense. I don’t like to label myself as such because I am not above anyone, but I’d like to believe I’m here to teach people how to connect to their authentic selves and the universe. My life is certainly a testimony. Please do not be weary because I mentioned God; this advice column is for everyone, with no exclusions based on religion, orientation, or background.

Throughout my journey, people have often sought my advice, leaving with a sense of peace. While I don't claim to be a guru or therapist, I have contemplated pursuing a career in therapy after obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in psychology. I am passionate about mental health, drawing inspiration from my academic background, personal experiences with my own mental health difficulties, and my spiritual lifestyle. I engage in a holistic approach to self-healing through practices such as meditation, prayer, affirmations, and a connection with healing crystals and self-help books.

I believe in the power of empathy and understanding, especially for those navigating battles with their mental health. Polish The Soul is not just a column; it's a sanctuary. A place where I, as someone genuinely passionate about offering support, invite you to explore, share, and discover the comfort of being held. Thank you for being a part of this transformative journey. May your path be illuminated with wisdom, connection, and healing.

With warmth,

Sasha"
