In episode 209, host Andrea Atherton welcomes healer, yogini, and musician Sasha Stone—leader of the Sasha Stone Band—to share the raw, unfiltered story of how she turned immense adversity into purpose. Sasha opens her heart about navigating personal loss, family addiction, and life-altering accidents, each chapter carving the path toward reclaiming her voice and identity. Her journey begins with a deep and formative connection to music, one that was first kindled in childhood through her bond with her now-deceased brother. Their shared love for music became a sacred language between them—a space of safety, expression, and soul connection that planted the seeds for the artist Sasha would one day become.
Throughout the conversation, Sasha speaks with vulnerable wisdom about the teachers, healers, and inner awakenings that helped her shift from survival mode into soul-led living. Now at 40, she embodies the strength, softness, and clarity of a woman who has alchemized her past into passion. Music, once a comfort in chaos, has become a cornerstone of her healing. It offered her a lifeline in moments of despair, and eventually became the very tool through which she reclaimed her truth. Today, Sasha merges her love for music with her coaching practice, helping others heal through story, sound, and self-discovery. Together, Andrea and Sasha explore how being in the right relationship with ourselves changes everything: how we date, how we serve, and how we come alive again.
The episode concludes with a special gift for listeners—a live acoustic performance of one of Sasha’s inspirational songs. This song offers a living embodiment of Sasha’s transformation: a tribute to grief, resilience, and the unwavering power of self-expression. Let this episode align within you like a healing balm, inviting you to find your creative expression and remember that your pain, too, can be turned into magic.
