226: Stop Overlooking, Start Connecting with Sasha Nicole

Sasha Nicole, the creator of Fearless Nfluence, a curation of digital experiences and content about mental health, motherhood, love, food and more, champions overcoming obstacles by embracing one’s truth and identity fearlessly. She joins Chelsea 6:30 minutes in to talk about the heartbreak of invisibility, of being overlooked or made a joke of for being obese, and the power she's walking with as she lets go of who she used to be. She opens up about her weight loss journey, the grief of looking different but still expecting people to look at her the same, the trauma embedded in insults that are meant to isolate you, mental health and the stigma of anti-depressants, the scary and singular journey of postpartum depression, and yet the grace, compassion, and relatability that can become because when you've been exposed to the cruelty of a world that doesn’t try to understand you, you have every reason in the world to dare to be different.
