When you're loved but don't believe it (Sasha Alex Sloan)
A recurring theme I see in my interviews is the struggle people face to feel whole and at peace within themselves amidst external pressures and the presence or absence of validation. Doesn't matter who you are, if you don't have a strong internal anchor within yourself, you will be swayed back and forth by life.
On a lighter note, Sasha's music is quite lovely. Check her out here: / sadgirlsloan

There's this thing with humans,we walk around not believing we are enough. I was adopted, but I've always walked around like I need to show people that am enough and I can do it by myself. Didn't realize this until my mum (adopted) told me. Working on it, but once you live with a certain "condition" or mindset, you just can't shed it overnight.
I love Sasha and her music! Wish her the best 🤍
Wow, that is one hell of a person to bump into on the street!!! Needs a longer interview!!! Love the interview though and how personal it is.
This goes for me too, but if we all could just forget about ourselves and focus more attention on others we would be much more content.
What a beautiful interview, I hope you continue on this path of sharing
That was beautifully honest - thank you! ❤ I pray that you find identity that’s independent of anything you do. Beautiful soul ☺️
yes, there is no meaning. So you can do anything you want. Face your fears head on. Lose things, go ugly into public. You will notice its all in your head. Only your head can give meaning to things. And your mind will have all those fears unless you face them. Go girl, i believe in you. Accept those fears, accept your thoughts, but see they are not reality.

OMG yes! I always lived life knowing there is no meaning except for that which we create or accept for ourselves. People think it's sad to not believe in an inherent purpose, but I find it quite liberating to be able to dictate what is purposeful from moment to moment. 🩵
BOOM! That last line hit her core. A nihilist who lives in fear and doesn't want to lose her life because she loves it so much. Interesting. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. - Matthew 10:39

Whats a nihilist?
I loved this, I honestly thought of that verse too, and loved that you’ve shared it with her. She seems very aware of her own state, I like that about her.
Something I have learned. When we show that we value ourselves, we are more attractive (socially) to other people.
It's so true. Why not let the one who gave you life direct it instead of always being afraid of messing up?
Love your shadow
We intellectualise our healing because we live in a society where intellect is valued over feeling. I have found that by feeling the emotions from my traumatised past as a child has been the only thing that has helped me with my confidence, self love and most importantly happiness. As everything, emotions are energy. And energy get stuck within us when we are little especially because we're taught by our parents to stop our crying and so we don't feel these lower frequency emotions, thus they get stuck in our bodies. These low frequency emotions are what the feelings of lack of self worth, self love, anxiety etc are attached to. Once those low frequency emotions are felt and move through the body and energetic field they can be truly processed and integrated. It's a feeling of rising above and seeing the full picture from a different perspective. I can see how certain behavioural and thought loops related to specific experiences as a child but this time I could choose not to give into those behavioural and thought loops because they released with the emotions that was processed.

Idk… I feel like people are more tied to how they *feel* in their heart, rather than thinking with their brain. People say “love is love.” Or “ think with your heart.” All the time now, and I feel like that’s a picture of how people are only applying how they *feel* in life, and not thinking much at all. However, that doesn’t make feeling a bad thing at all, however if that’s all you listen too it can rule your life
WHATttt!!!!
Why are these so short? I want to hear more, feels like there is but it's cut out.
Does anyone know the background instrumental music playing in the beginning plsss?
what's the song name in the background?
Praying for you, my dear. You are beautiful beyond what you can offer the world, because you were made in the image of a perfect God. Elohim… Yes, everything in this world is vanity but Yeshua (Jesus Christ) came to die to save you from sin & wasting eternity with vain things. When you have FAITH in the Lord, you gain new purpose and direction. Doing his work is never in vain. Blessings 🕊️
You have such a kind , gentle soul. I am very grateful that you are out there documenting how to lovingly bring people to Jesus. ❤

It doesn't have to be for Jesus. There's plenty of religions, and even no religion is fine. It's just about spreading hope, or positivity, and empathy.

Exactly. No understanding. As if you were saying you are superior to everyone and every other religion. Um no. But JESUS and His way IS superior and it doesn't take much honest searching and comparing of other religions and belief systems to see that.
Eric, thank you for your videos. They are real, honest, and quite touching. Eric, give her a Bible.
I heard once that happiness /peace/joy outside of God is not possible. There is nothing outside of God he has to offer. Therefore, not having faith leaves you anxious, fearful and never settled or peaceful.
I admire her honesty and vulnerability! And she's absolutely right to feel anxious, sad, fearful and feel like there is no meaning to anything if there is no God who created us and loves us. The only way to have true peace, joy and hope is to know God and trust Him and follow Him. The only way to true life is through the cross of Jesus Christ. We are called to take up our cross and follow Him. That means that we are called to lay down our lives just as He laid down His life for us. If we spend our lives seeking happiness and validation in anything other than Christ, we will be lost. Everything else will pass away. ("Heaven and earth will pass away but My words will not pass away." -Jesus in Matthew 24:35. That Bible verse he paraphrased in this video is exactly right. Matthew 10:39, Jesus is speaking to His disciples and says, "If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it." The verse right before it is about taking up your cross. "If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine." Yikes. Strong words! It's too bad more professing Christians don't actually live like that. Maybe the world would take more notice and take us more seriously if we were truly laying down our lives in love for Christ and for others. I will pray for her heart to be softened and open to the Holy Spirit drawing her to Himself.
i think we all deal w feelings of inadequacy . Know that we are all here for a reason , part of a bigger plan. Theres a bible verse I'm paraphrasing. that if you have faith as small as a mustard seed you could move a mountain. God has a purpose for us all . ill be praying for you Sasha
Hi Sasha, do you like cats or donkeys? For me taking care of them makes me so happy and it validates me from within, because I put effort in for them! I wish you something like that as well. I follow Kitten Lady and I am sure she knows a shelter where kittens could use your help if you would want that. All the best from The Netherlands, Jessica
"...we can know God a little through love, not our love for Him but His love for us. Through all that we lack, we can know something of what God gives; through all that we are not, we can know something of what God is; and the most and surest that we can know about ourselves is that we are that which God wills, we are that which God loves....Although God lacks nothing and cannot need us, it is His will and His choice to want us, to want us to be the answer to His love. He who needs nothing wills to have us be the objects of His love, the creation of His love. God created us to want us, God created us to love us." - Caryll Houseland, from her book "Guilt"

Isn't it a bit of a contradiction to say f*** everyone else and then talk about the importance of showing kindness, compassion and empathy? Even those who try to bring us down needs compassion and love, because they don't know what they're doing. Just a genuine thought 🙂

Great you have found a resolve to ignite you and get you moving forwards. One thing I’ll say is that although it sounds like you have done a lot work on self-worth and respecting yourself by placing yourself above others and competing you are still trying to prove that you are enough. I only say this because I have been there and path you are on will only work for so long. The only way out is to love yourself for who you are as you are right now and to realise that we are all equals. If any ever puts you down they are also trying to prove to themselves that they are enough. They are you. Life is much more fulfilling living for others than trying to compete
Im sorry, but who is this person?

Boo-hoo. No one likes me. I'm fat. *world's smallest 🎻 playing, Cry Me A River. Nope. She's wrong. Not the same person. God intended everyone to be fit-healthy (not a gym rat but just, healthy-fit). Proven that the brain functions with more clarity if not a fatty. This translates into life and all relationships as well. This is one's only hope ever: See Romans 10:9-13 and 1 Cor.15:3,4 and Psalm 22:16 & Isaiah chpt.53 (even in the Jewish bible). After salvation see Matt.10:28 and Mark 12:30,31 auth.kjv bible only.
