Meet Sasha: Growing + Glowing Creator
Hey Beautiful! I’m Sasha, the Writer/Founder of Growing + Glowing, a self-improvement/self-care blog for women and this is my little corner of Yonce’s Internet. I began blogging to document my self-love journey; in return I want to inspire you to start your own. I aim to encourage you to overcome your fears, defeat procrastination, and establish attainable goals so you can create the life you’ve always wanted.
A little about me: My passion has always been to help people. I’m a working single mom of ✌🏾 sons, plant mom 🌱 (to include the stubborn Ficus Lyrata), dog 🐶 mom, entrepreneur in the making and yes, I will answer to the name superwoman from time to time. I’m a sucker for farmer’s markets and the country life; outside me please! Proud HBCU Alumni and a Chai Tea Latte fiend.
I want to share my tips with you and provide some good reads while you lock yourself in the closet with your chamomile tea, enjoy “me time,” and take complete control of becoming the best version of yourself.
“Gardening is my therapy.”

Why did I create a self care blog?
I created Growing + Glowing to inspire women to grow + glow through life with self-care. I know how easy it can be to have life pass you by for the greater benefit of your family. The back burner has seen a many of my personal dreams. Sometimes, the natural fear brought on by the risk that comes with tapping into a passion can hold us back from our calling. Growing + Growing represents progress and breaking free from the feeling of mundane repetition that so many of us fall victim to everyday. As you read this, understand that I don’t have it all figured out but I am sure that this blog will allow space for community that can build with one another.
You are #1
As nature’s nurturers, women tend to put the needs of others before ourselves in friendship, relationships, family, and even work life.
Living day to day with so many responsibilities is no small feat for anyone. If you are a mother, your duties double, even triple, leaving little to no room for you or your passions or self care. I know firsthand how challenging it is to be everything to everyone; as caregivers, we inherently want to save the day, even for those who haven’t asked for our help.
The problem is, we rarely return that level of care to ourselves.
Growing + Glowing wants you to put down the load for your growth. It’s okay to love life for you and not just through the lenses of the people you nurture. For once, put your cape on for YOU. You have so much magic inside of you waiting to be discovered. Let’s nurture it, speak to it, and help it grow to become your ultimate reality.
Let’s Level up + Change the narrative
Growing + Glowing is the catalyst you need to lead an authentic and fulfilled life by focusing on productivity, self-improvement, and wellness. It’s time to break free from societal expectations and live on your own terms.
I encourage you to embrace your individuality, set your own rules, and create a life that brings you joy. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. After all, life is meant to be LIVED.
I’m more than thrilled to connect with you so, grab a glass of wine and stay a while
