Sasha was born into an immigrant family with an International flair that is second to none. Her Dad from Slovenia, her Mom from Mexico and subsequently after they divorced in her teens, her Step Mom from the Philippines and her Step Dad from Argentina. She spent all her summers overseas and that definitely gave her an edge, fearlessness and a very healthy ambition. She went to Texas A & M where she had a tumultuous 2 years where she struggled with substances and eating disorders. Sasha has been a perfectionist since she was 3 years old. She made perfect grades and put on a perfect façade of everything always being great and appeared polished when in reality it wasn't. You cannot be perfect forever - eventually that takes its toll. Her parents were very supportive and kind and just wanted their daughter to be ok, they gave her a perfect childhood and she never had anything bad happen to her.Her parents gave her a rehab treatment center as a graduation present, which she credits to saving her.Even though she struggled she still graduated with honors. Stacy, Sasha's best friend was at Texas State University and did not understand the gravity of the situation at the time. She wishes she was more mature at the time to be there more for Sasha during that time. Sasha talks about her eating disorders and how food is a big deal growing up European, how it is a comfort factor, showing of love, having restaurateur's for parents and that it is also one of the few things you can control. When Sasha is not in control of things she finds ways to feel like she is in control. It is also super easy to relapse and nobody notice. She learned a lot.
