I had so much fun talking with Sasha on this episode! We discussed growing up struggling in school and being diagnoised with dyslexia in elementary school. It was so much fun talking to someone that has been through what I have been through, of course not exactly the same, but similar! Sasha has proven to herself and the world and dyslexia hasn't held her back! Listen in and share with everyone you know!
