How to Rebuild Self-Trust After Grief, Divorce & Self-Sabotage with Sacha Hughes

Send us Fan Mail What happens when life changes so much that you no longer recognize yourself? In this episode of the FitMitTuro Fitness Podcast, Turo talks with author Sacha Hughes about grief, divorce, people-pleasing, alcohol, self-sabotage, emotional eating, and what it takes to rebuild your relationship with yourself. Sacha shares how losing her mother at a young age, going through divorce, raising children, and years of looking outside herself for love and validation shaped the way she lived. She also opens up about using alcohol and partying to numb pain, constantly putting others on a pedestal, and eventually realizing that the relationship she most needed to repair was the one with herself. They discuss why women often put everyone else first, how people-pleasing can become a form of self-abandonment, why social media can feed the need for validation, and how self-awareness can change the way we approach food, exercise, sleep, relationships, and everyday habits. You’ll learn: Why difficult life events can make healthy habits disappear How grief and self-sabotage can become connected Why people-pleasing can erode self-trust What it looks like to stop abandoning yourself Why huge promises often fail How small, realistic actions can support long-term change How emotional states affect food, alcohol, exercise, and sleep Why all-or-nothing thinking keeps people stuck How to distinguish self-acceptance from giving up Why external validation can become addictive How Sacha rebuilt confidence and learned to trust herself again Sacha is the author of Love, Grief, and More Sex Than Pinot, part of the Soho Summers series.
