Emmy-winning actress Sarah Levy shares her powerful story of heartbreak, grief, and healing in the wake of unimaginable loss.

In this raw and deeply moving episode, Sarah shares the heartbreaking story of losing her home and community during the devastating LA fires—and the emotional aftermath that followed. With honesty, grace, and vulnerability, she talks about the grief no one prepares you for, the myths of toxic positivity, and the long, often messy process of rebuilding from the inside out.

At the beginning of this year, wildfires tore through Southern California, destroying over 40,000 acres and displacing countless families. Sarah, co-star of Schitt’s Creek, experienced this devastation firsthand while raising her 2-year-old son. She opens up about how she’s navigated the grief, shock, and slow process of healing in the months since.

 In this conversation, we explore:

You Don’t Have to Move On — Grief has no timeline. It’s okay to still be hurting.

Feeling the Hard Feelings — Why giving yourself space to cry and process is essential.

The Power of Patience — Healing and progress take time, especially in a world of instant everything.

Finding Your Own Path — Reconnecting with your truth and values after life throws you off course.

This is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t linear—and even in the darkest moments, it’s possible to rediscover purpose, connection, and unexpected joy.

💗 Stay tuned until the end for heartfelt insights and inspiring takeaways from Sarah’s journey.
